Re: Any word on the Academy?

U18 Clubs did well, pipped at the last minute by Leinster. There's 2 or 3 in that group to watch out for too

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Ulster u16 and Ulster u17 both lost to Leinster ‘North’ u16 & u17 recently. Disappointing. Wouldn’t worry about that. Only ones that are relevant are ulster u18 and u19. In my humble opinion the rest is a waste of time[emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk But the U16 and 17s are great fr...

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Ulster U17s schools lost all 3 matches at the interpro blitz yesterday.

That said, the short form of the game is no indicator of quality

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Only the old guard and detractors use the master race moniker. To be fair, i was a detractor for many years, but my youngest son is at the school and it has been great for him. The rugby programme is excellent, underpinned by committed and knowledgable teachers. He's thriving! I hate to say it but R...

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Something wrong at MCB and CCB or just a wee blip? MCB won't win a Schools Cup for a long time; they're far behind the competition. Their social media feels like a parody account with the way they constantly celebrate interhouse U13 football and U14 interhouse baking. CCB are strong but still sligh...

Re: Any word on the Academy?

There are some excellent coaches in the regional schools, unfortunately the programmes, facilities and player numbers are not of the same standard of the top 6. The coaches at youth club level however are not, through no fault of their own. As for the CCROs... Nice idea executed poorly. I would love...
