It's taken a hammering lately. That Treviso match ruined it, but hopefully it'll be growing soon.

Rhys O'Donnell is a class act. Unfortunately, Ulster can't really see that! Or Kieran Campbell to be more specific.....

So winning rugby=imaginative coaching.
Bludgeon huge centre up middle and play off him without a hint of a decoy.
Revolutionary stuff.

Depends on what is meant by "attitude". I think half the 1st team have a terrible 'half assed' attitude. A chip in your shoulder type attitude can be harnessed by good coaching and mentorship.

Sorry your are not convincing me.
The schools cup final almost makes me think snooker has more entertainment value.
Think the Friends school took the better option in the quarters eh Dave?

Janny Sexton was a smart arsed wee shiite when he came on the scene and it didn't do him any harm, it's a great thing in a scrum half to have someone with attitude as it is needed to deal with forwards and backs on both sides unless you are like Ruan and there is just a mobile blast freezer that moves round the pitch with him he is so cool.

For want of a better place to put it, it appears Regent House are entering the schools rugby arms race with a coaching appointment of some note.

Budgerigar Pountney is to do a stint with Regent and also Ards RFC I hear, from a man who knows a man who definitely knows.

Cheap cheap he is not I believe.

Greetings Baggy

Now you've gone and spoilt Ards RFC's Big Announcement : http://www.ardsrugby.co.uk/news/big-ann ... 97768.html

... tho' I seem to recollect reading ''your exclusive'' before.

PS For your information, there is a Section on the Board devoted to Club Rugby and contained therein is a thread entitled ''Qualifying Leagues''. As I'm sure you'd agree, its never too late to learn :stir:

Crap, I thought it had been announced by now, before lunch I was told. :oops:

Tighty I'm sure it's not been lost on you that I am only a glory-hunting, pro-team supporter, I get a few people saying, "I'll take you to watch the Binmen" or "You'll have a great day with the Armachians" but of course little or nothing comes of it. Last time I was involved in even a loose way was in the Harbour Bar at Downings after a game Sheephaven Bay against some Omagh team I think. Great bowl of Stew and pints of glorious Arthur's Genius.

These days if I am feeling really interested I'll see the odd A team game - very odd since I have been boycotting any A match not held at Spanners for some years.

Anyway, I last had any club connection many decades ago at Ards in their halcyon days when they first got into the senior league, Edgar, some Calverts, Cleland, Wee Mowatt, a Campbell or two and I recall still tales of Bobby Bishop & the bike at the Dee. So I wish them well with the new venture, hopefully, he can breathe some life into both school & club.

Mind you the ould glory-hunting hasn't been going too well. I believe some ex-pats have set up a rugby club in San Javier, maybe they will rise to greatness, I might even lend my peculiar brand of expertise. >EW
