It's their origin clubs listed (although I thought he was Lurgan too).

I guess Belfast Academy RFC is Belfast Royal Academy RFC. Incompetent copywriting from Ulster Rugby. If performance is in the detail, both on and off pitch, this says it all.
Wrong guess then moyletra. >EW

I guess you're performance is a little below par then? :lol:

Really wonder what's going on with Ewers- is he injured or not?

Ospreys away during the 6 nations break is when we should be loading that team; DFs selections boil my p*sh. Just looks like he's floundering to happen upon a decent combination.

Seems Cooney and Baloucoune travelled to Wales as cover, so not injured then.

I admit my mistake, my incompetence. :duh:

I thought it referred to the grammar school.
I believe he started his mini rugby at Ballyclare RFC? But could be corrected on that too.

Pretty sure I'm right about Ulster Rugby incompetence though.

A loss this weekend will push us from 5th to 9th and outside the knockout positions. Could even go to 10th if connacht get a BP win. Correspondently, a BP win could put us 4th. The league is very tight and the bit up at home against Edinburgh will likely come back to haunt us this year.

I don’t think Bobby can have any complaints about being left out.

Touch and go on that one Justin. Lowry has never worked on the wing. I do agree re RB but we had other wing options, like McElroy for example, not Lowry. Cooney is bizaare

A standard win for Connacht in Cardiff could take them above us. Big game tomorrow given today's results.

Connacht are playing like a bunch of new starts at present against 13 man Cardiff. Couldn't bring about a pushover try despite two man advantage. Predictable one pass, head down, one yard rubbish. I suspect Ulster will unfortunately do exactly the same tomorrow.

Connacht lead 12 16 with 12 mins to go but very third rate standard.

Connacht win 12 16 despite continual shocking errors. Ulster 8th in table, Connacht 9th.

McDonald finishing the game out for Connacht. Not sure what to make of him.

McDonald rather shaky in my view but Blade is often in danger of being penalised for dissent.
