The UAFC

I think Carr would be a good signing. Trimble and Danielle at RWC leaves our young uns under a bit of pressure to perform week in week out. It also would allow for injuries and loss of form. I think it would be good for both parties. Carr has scored plenty of tries for a team propping up the league ...

"sorry paddy, I just dropped one"

I like the sound of this boy Hoagy Carmichael!

I think Fionn Carr and another back row would do us nicely.

Agreed about Diack and P3 but can't make up my mind on Faloon. He was immense coming off the bench against Dragons yet I don't recall the same impact being made by either him starting or anyone coming off the bench last night! I'll give this one a bit more thought or else juat leave it up to McGlock...

I may be clutching at straws but .... neither wasps or sale are a good team. The Saints have welcomed back their internationals and had 2 whopping wins but I can't help but wonder how they would react if and when we put them under pressure!! I do think we'll show up next week and put in a real prope...

Jared Payne. Corey Jane. ....... They sound alike!!

If you know he won't, do you know who will?

I can't help but be excited by todays news and I think the squad is looking very positive for next year especially if as suggested we get a quality back 3 player. But.... How do we afford these players? Surely the potential signing for the backline has to be much more low-key to fall within our budg...

It was good to see our "academy" side get off to a winning start against the lions!!

So who would you add to the squad scrum 5? I think it's going to be difficult to add quality that is IQ and given that we don't have any NIQ spaces available, what options are we left with? I think Carr would be a signing, Jennings was mentioned on here before, I don't know if there was any substanc...

We have 6 games between now and MK. How does McGlocks play it? Are there certain games that he will give up ala munster at thomond to keep players fresh? Or does he keep a winning team playing in the hope that the confidence grows?

Any thoughts?

I don't disagree with what you are saying. I was just thinking out loud. The ravens at present is a step up with the b&i cup but if it disappears then what? I was only thinking ail as at least it's a regular competitive competition, the players would get to play alongside who they train with and...

If the B&I cup continues it should help develop our young players in the longer term. If it isn't going to conitnue is there any chance of ravens and the other provincial a teams entering the AIL? Would this be of any benefit to the irfu and thereby the provinces? Could it help to raise the prof...

3 stands have approval? Do we know which 3 stands? Any further re the funding? Is the 20mil still there or has that been shelved?

Backaway I agree with you up to a point. The ML is your bread and butter and you want to be involved in the top 4 year on year and any team can have a one off run in Europe and it isn't worth a damn if it's not sustained. But to gain credibility a team must back up league success by getting out of t...
