Called Ward going to Worcester in March when I mentioned Mcphillips leaving.

If Ward has been announced and mcphillips hasn’t then maybe Mcphillips is staying now.

You'd best be wrong about Hall leaving as well!

That’s the one I’m worried about and in light of Edinburgh chopping the squad significantly they have to announce people soon.

Hall has family in Edinburgh. Maybe just using it to get better deal at ulster.

I got the impression daddy was quite happy about young Zac leaving this "basket case".

Not seen anyone challenge BOD on his use of a derogatory term for mental illness yet either, since we're all PC now. Maybe some group needs to create an uproar and he can go to do a mental health awareness course.

BoD could literally kill a baby and he'd be untouchable
A sad day for democracy

One of the thoughts behind him leaving is that due to who his daddy is and the fact that the Ulster legend is not fondly liked in the shadowy corridors of power at Ravenhill

What would this have to do with Ulster Academy, are all these players not from Junior Clubs ?

Thought that myself, maybe qualifying league thread, but I expect nothing less, even saw posts on UR facebook were posters were encouraging others on the Munster weekend to go and watch the babies of Ulster and the future of Ulster at the Ulster Junior game, obviously have not ever been to a club let alone a club game Ffs.

Ah well that’s what success brings to UR

I think the title of Ulster Juniors actually implied that this was a sort of sub academy type team and not a team made up of players from junior clubs.
Wee bit of spin like a general manager versus the general manager

It’s interesting that Rhys O’Donnell was name-checked as someone who should be in the squad - never seen the guy play but always been aware of the hype.
