Ulster may end up facing Eben Etzebeth next season, heading back to South Africa with the Sharks.

Couldn’t we have pensioned off Carter and signed Eben? If we had the funds for Kitshoff…
Imagine a row of Henderson and Etsebeth, with Duane in behind. I’m getting priapic.
Re: URC 2021/22 - Other Sides
Etzebeth has only made 1 appearance for Toulon this season, not much return for £800,000 / season.
Re: URC 2021/22 - Other Sides
Carter has made numerous appearances this season and has gone backwards in every single collision. Not much return for feck he’s getting.

Talking of côcks on the pitch. 6Ns twitter folk were showing an old clip of Scotland v France yesterday with the regulsytion côck releasrd onto the pitch durinng the game.
I always wondered about the logistics. Ok parc de prince you could undrstand, but did they bring it with them when traveling to Dublin, Edinburgh, or London or did they arrive at Heathrow on a rugby weekend and say, "Sorry lads, I'll catch you in the pub later. I'm just off to source a côck for tomorrow."
And was it alwaýs the same people, or was it somehow coordinated. From memory you never realy saw 2 côcks jn one match.

The eternal unsolved mysteries BR. I wish I knew the answers to those. They ve puzzled me for years too.

Re: URC 2021/22 - Other Sides
I suspect they must have had an expatrié to sort out the logistics. Some of those birds probably weren't even French!

Of course if the locally sourced bird had a grandmother who made a serious contribution to a coq au vin , then the bird could qualify to run around for France.big mervyn wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 2:49 pm I suspect they must have had an expatrié to sort out the logistics.

Re: URC 2021/22 - Other Sides
Leinster likely to lose Contepomi to the Pumas.
Re: URC 2021/22 - Other Sides
Only four points for an unimpressive Leinster tonight.
Not long now before we get to do the double over them.

Re: URC 2021/22 - Other Sides
Carter has been a strange one, never exceptional in any single way, he is though a decent player in many aspects, just not someone I'd pay a fortune to keep and after a injury-hit first season, he's been decent but not much more.
It will be interesting to see the 2nd row options next season. Tredders, The Dublin Strangler, Cormac Izuchukwu and the occasional sighting of Hendy, then the big cub from Limerick/Nevers but what of Carter, Strangler's brother Dave and Mick Kearney? I assume they will be gone.
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.

Has there ever been a more overly hyped pair of Paddybast@rds as the Byrne bros? Neither fit to sniff Wee Paddy's jockstrap.

Re: URC 2021/22 - Other Sides
I thought the little strangler (is that a stranglette?) was already gone, but maybe just on a loan to Ealing.BaggyTrousers wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 9:47 amCarter has been a strange one, never exceptional in any single way, he is though a decent player in many aspects, just not someone I'd pay a fortune to keep and after a injury-hit first season, he's been decent but not much more.

Mick Kearney has been a decent player for the (assumed) relatively low cost. Decent squad player.
Leinster have pulled another peach out of the bag in their new second row Joe McCarthy. Played brilliantly last night against the saffer Lions.
