The UAFC

:D could the 6 ( or now 12) front rowers not put on their own form of Sumo wrestling contest as half time entertainment, leaving more time during the 80 minutes for some actual real rugby to be played? And the paying public could understand what the ref is awarding penalties for. And I have already...

Agreed. His partnership with Stu is meaty and creative. Wonder will he move to centre with Sharks?

I know I have often ( mercilessly) poked fun at former front row players posting on the site, usually along the lines of what would they know. Having watched the Challenge cup final and the complete supremacy and impact on the whole game of the South African front row, I have to admit to their high...

I know a highlights real can make anyone look good but this guy looks the real deal..pace and a great offload https://youtu.be/49GG-MGIMC8?si=PW3DEzKPLtNtLadF :salut: outstanding Bart. A.I.'s greatest triumph yet- by it's progress we can track our doom. Even made a Boerwurst look world class

Can we assume that Billy's departure south is a response to this signing, rather than this signing being a response to Billy's departure south? If so, then Billy's departure makes a bit of sense. Not sure I'm bothered either way Solidarnosc. Billy needed moved on or relegated to our back up 10 a la...

No; for whom? Injuries, tackle bags holding, no proper back up 10?
Munster have Crowley and our ex starting 10 as back up. Leinster have 2x Byrnes, Frawley, Prendergast etc..

His mum is from Larne but he's too embarrassed to say.

No that'd be Glynn...

Think Hanna has South Belfast nailed down. Personally, if Alliance want to send shockwaves throughout the UK political community, then they need to win Lagan Valley. That’s the big one for them. It's only shockwaves in local terms Al. Hanna will win SB. A capable politician wasted in the inappropri...

A calculation that it still won't be enough?

Focus on retaining Lagan Valley?

A bit disappointed not to see penalties. Would have been interested to see how Leinster managed that. I think yesterday put to bed this narrative gaining traction recently that JGP is Dupont's equal. Agreed. Not within a country mile of Dupont and he's hardly a spring chicken in comparison. Leinste...

Some game regardless. Leaving provincialism and FIRFU bias aside, either is worthy
