Not impossible though.
They could more broadly blame the entire province for not providing better players. Who would blame them?

Rumours of no ulster players featuring in the ireland 23 for the game against France. No real surprise but a damning indictment of our positon and fall from grace this season. Anyone know when this last occurred?
3 games in 1997 when there were no current Ulster players selected but the squads contained several Ulster born players contracted to English clubs.
It's the first time an Ireland squad has contained no current Ulster or Ulster born players. A new low.

Dave's comment above seems pretty appropriate.

Another reason to disengage from Ireland. However, as Dave says, justified with only Hendo arguable. Shocking. Farrell out
It's a plot of deepest Poguery to redress the balance of Jeffrey's triumph for the black Nordies

Wonder what the reasoning is for adding soldiers song now? Always knew it was BS about them using it only when the Irish president was in attendance.

Better be good - I’ve had to haul my hole off Miami Beach for this.
Dunno if I can get away with supporting France.
It appears the bar owner is a big Celtic fan.

Nah, you're thinking of Mexico and Turnips...
I fancy England for 2nd with a punchers chance of winning it TB. Good luck to ye- for all the oul balls talked, you still got to the semis despite being "crap". You'll be better this time round.
