The defence was so well organised again. If only we had got Johnny Bell earlier

No question that the group were affected by the (unsubstantiated) rumours of Munster’s big bucks swoop for Billy during the week, it unsettled the whole team….

I believe UR are upgrading the seats to Laz e boy recliners in the posh stands, and deckchairs on the terraces to increase season ticket sales in a major sponsorship deal with DFS .
Milo has been offered £500k pa by UR as the face of the campaign due to his ability to assume the "recline" position with minimal effort, whilst retain the ability to fold on demand.

New video on Ulster Rugby TV of Ethel proudly dusting away the cobwebs from the trophy cabinet , in anticipation of next weekend.

With all the money made from the extra games and renewed optimism UR is advertising for a full-time trophy cleaner next season (don't be rude, Dave).

Lovely write up by Neil Francis on how the other provinces are lagging behind.

Will the final be played at Kingspan or will we move it to Casement Park? Much bigger capacity in their new 50,000 all seater stadium.

Good to see a respected Pulitzer prize winning journo get behind us rather than the usual jealous scribbles from failed ex players and tabloid hacks. He adds moral authority to expose the D4 media lies around UR privilege and demographic advantage, especially with the CCMS supplying the bulk of our academy these days.

I hear Sam Pendergrast, Ciaran Frawley, Harry Byrne and Jack Crowley have all said they'll head north for free, as they worried that they won't get picked for Ireland if they are not at the all conquering Ulster team

I wonder after yesterday's win whether Dan will finally show a little bit of faith in Billy Burns to start a game at 10.

Looked at the forecast and it may be too sunny for the pitch to be playable next weekend.
Luckily for us, Munster have generously agreed to offer Thomond Park as an alternative , if we also pay them £750k and give them our share of the gate receipts.
