British & Irish Cup 17/18

[Gerald the Mole]

Any word, will we have a team good enough to compete ?

[Neill_M]

Was July 15th last year, another couple of weeks maybe.

[Dan Dare]

Thought we won it last year...... or was it, we were going to win it?

[Tender]

No no no no no, it was as the PRO12 we were going to win last year, but we've worked really hard to eradicate silly mistakes and we have a plan in place. We're in a really strong position and we have a great squad of guys here who all want to win it for Ulster and for our loyal supporters.

UR PR Team will be phoning me any day now.

Hartpury won all 30 games in National League 1 last year - glad Stortford won't have to play them!

Two Welsh teams and a school.

Are Cornish Pirates from Wales ? Harpury are a Gloucester feeder club
