Nah- I'd rather Rea and O'Hagan got game time ahead of them- better for UR in the long run. I've been delighted that Rea has shown so well and picked ahead of Deysel for matches and I'd hope that continues. There are signs the academy is starting to function well so its a case fo giving the young lads chances and any NIQ has to be brought in to set standards and let the guys learn from, if we have fewer but better quality NIQ's then so be it.

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
There are certainly some green shoots in the academy, quite a good representation in the U20s tonight, 6 in the 23. Interesting to see young Curtis in there on the bench.
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.

Did Ulster not win all the u20 interpro's.....thought there might be a couple more.
Good to see the number increasing all the same.....u18s did well also

Tommy the Tank Waldrom leaving Exeter at the end of the season, hope we're at least talking to him.

Bryan Habana leaving Toulon in the summer, hope we're at least talking to him, he's only 35 and his knees could be worser.

He looks faster in slow motion.
Always ask yourself, "What would Big Rodney do"... And every time the answer is... "Eat It"
Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
Good job we have Jordi signed from Leinster or they would be sending us another knee rehab job
Josh van der Flier has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee ligament injury.

I'd start him ahead of Treadwell and Diack..

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
I saw a tweet from Neil Best suggesting that. He is the type of guy I think would be very good for us, purely based on my impression of him as a player. No idea how good a coach he might be. I haven't followed his progress at Narbonne.nonplussed wrote:Return of the Plank to support Gibbes..............
