Just stare back. Make them think you're laughing at them. They'll get all paranoid. Then they will probably be on here claiming they're mates with some really special people....

Duane coming in hasn’t helped him.

Can’t be bothered to look but have they played him across the backrow? Need to find a position for him and stick with it.

Lineout will have been a huge learning experience for him having only moved to the pack in late L6th/U6th of school.

Disappointing not to have seen more of him this year.

Also can't be bothered to look but have a vague memory of him at 6 perhaps once. Whilst DV coming in might not have helped McCann, its not like McCann was setting the pitch alight with the chances he had prior to the arrival of DV and you only have to look at our recent results with and without DV to see the value he has added. We would have struggled without him as ballast. I don't know that he can enjoy the luxury of having only one back row position. Most modern 8s are occasionally required at 6 and the two positions aren't that dissimilar, aside from the scrum.

I don’t disagree but makes life very hard for young players who are moved about the backrow.

I don’t know the stats so it might be completely irrelevant.

Thought Moore for the one game he was parachuted into added a level of physicality we have lacked, though his darts were bad!

Hopefully Izuchukwu can push on and have a good preseason.

Yep - that’s one Ulster player with silverware this season!
