Can't see a win in Exeter we're in a bad place. We owe Bordeaux for that last 25 mins in France, the games at ravers but it'll be a dead game.
See on 42ie Hart is clearly touted to Munster. Pretty obvious we lack credibility with players. We need to clear the decks before anyone worth their salt will take us seriously and sign. Madness.
I'd rather LK said nothing than total BS and I wouldn't take top 6 and euro qual for next yr as a given.

No one like s to bash UR more than I do, but give the guy a break, he gets slaughtered on here about the negativity for saying about losing 50% of our away games and when he says something positive he still gets slaughtered....

Maybe he should say something honest and true?

Probably a better place to put this but don't have the will to look... I had not realised that the Northern Ireland Executive part funded our HEC Q-F against Saracens in 2014:. What does government funding of a European rugby match even look like?

It looks like the best atmosphere at the ground probably ever. Of course I suspect that's not what you had in mind. :lol:

I think all you need to know about UR is that as far as I know there has yet to be any statement whatsoever about the boys prosecution, how it leaves us for the season and if we are seeking any form of replacements/ players on loan, any bloody thing.

I appreciate it is a sensitive issue but ignoring it will not make it go away, what possible harm would a statement saying, "we are assessing what options we have within the squad and possibly elsewhere to get us through a difficult situation"?
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Was this match one of the first where all parts of the new stadium were fully utilised? Perhaps UR incurred additional expense to get bits finished, signed off and usable early for this match? A cost that was supported by the NI Exec to avoid the game being shifted to Dublin following the clusterballix of the 'home' league final?

russ... I don't and I was surprised when I was told that they had provided funding for that match.

Well given they funded the whole stadium, picking up the additional tab to keep that game in NI sounds like one of the more reasonable decisions coming off the hill, that's if my supposition is correct
