Re: Any word on the Academy?

Why? Almost half of them come from Leinster. Which is worrying. I don’t want to support a team of Leinster men. If I did, would it not be worthwhile travelling to the RDS every other week instead? What if a Ukrainian (or similar) refugee plays for Ulster? Will this be acceptable? what? WHAT IF A UK...

Re: Squad depth 2024/25

A signing like Morgan might help but I'd feel very good about Murphy jnr heading this way. I'm enjoying young players getting a crack. I think we shouldn't expect too much from Murphy this season, he's still very young. He'd be behind Flannery in terms of his career progression. One for the future ...

Dave box kicks are not meant to be long at best the kick should be 50/50 especially against a team like the scarlets who are dangerous on a counter ball in hand . Any long kick should be into space finishing close to the touch line . But most teams play a deep back three long kicking is no longer a...
