So the 2 players found themselves in court on very serious charges. At this point they have already brought their employer into serious disrepute, as the subsequent media frenzy showed.

My issue here currently is that BOI put pressure on IRFU to sack 2 players yet now have launched a PR campaign about how they are invested in youth Irish rugbyjustinr73 wrote:Fwiw, my firm is the major sponsor of a decent English team and it costs us a 5 figure sum per annum.
We've banged on repeatedly about sharing the same values etc.
I really hope we're never put in the same position as the BOI.

employers into disrepute because of unfounded charges issued against them?
The bottom line is they were not sacked. Just deemed bad for business by a morally corrupt organisation.

1. Influence contractual discussions
2. Turn around and say "we support youth rugby" except dont be accused of anything or we'll end your career
Feck off BOI

If the IRFU had a choice between BOI and a company of much higher moral standing both offering the same financial sponsorship I'd HOPE they wouldn't have BOI on our shirts.

Back BOI and the IRFU on this still. Makes it a lot easier to support Ulster with a clearer conscience.

I'm really saddened that some of our supporters put corporate greed over the welfare of our players
