With the sharks looking good to win the challenge cup we probably need to be in 7th to be sure of champions Cup rugby next year.

Re: Contract Situation
The former Springbok legend and Toyota Cheetah captain, Ruan Pienaar, will take the first steps in his coaching career when he officially joins the Free State u.21 and Toyota Academy coaching staff as the new backline and attack coach. Pienaar will still play for the Toyota Cheetahs in the SA Cup, ...

Re: The run in
Definitely. Some of the loss is compensated by challenge cup gate receipts but typically challenge cup attracts less spectators than champions cup. Probably a loss of TV revenue as well.shamalicious wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 9:14 am Surely Ulster would take another financial hit if they end up in the Challenge Cup next year?

Re: Ulster v Cardiff Friday April 19, 7:35pm - BBC2 NI / BBC2 Wales / TG4 / Premier Sports (UK) 2 / Premier Sports (Irel
We have a free run to audition everyone, if we fail to reach Champs trophy so be it. We need to be 100% certain of the future for the start of pre season. We missed out on the revenue of ONE champions cup game this season and it put a 750k hole in our finances. Missing out on ALL of the champions C...

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
Even for a province with the chequered NIQ signing history that Ulster have, Cruden would be an awful signing.

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday March 30th 5:15pm Viaplay Sports
The Stormers were loose and erratic because they were put under pressure. We weren't great either but what we did have was heart and attitude in abundance something severely lacking this season. Yesterday was a step in the right direction. Felt like a win in some ways. Corner turned, no. Can we now...

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday March 30th 5:15pm Viaplay Sports
Very odd but very entertaining game. Ulster were much better. Some very decent passing. The lack of a decent clearance kicker is still an issue. We really struggle to exit our half. Doak was a bit of a parsons egg at 10 - good in parts. Some costly brainfarts too though. That cross field kick toward...

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday March 30th 5:15pm Viaplay Sports
I'd bite someone's arm off for a point. But tbf I'd also settle for the likes of McCann, Wilson, Sheridan to all have good games in a losing battle. And maybe for our backline to show some sort of positives. Feel like our best chance of a point is if they put 50 points on us before half time then p...

Re: Stormers v Ulster Saturday March 30th 5:15pm Viaplay Sports
Have a very bad feeling about this game. Is it treasonous to bet the mortgage on Stormers to put a cricket score on us?

Re: Sharks v Ulster Saturday 23rd March 1pm Kick Off Viaplay Sports
Relax guys we have signed a mediocre winger for next year. That's bound to solve our problems at 3,4,6,9 and 10.

Re: TRANSFER RUMOURS!!
I like him and I'm sure he will be popular but it's just such a weird signing. Who looked at our roster (and production line) and said, do you know what we need? A wing. Instead of a no 3,5,7,9 and most especially a 10. Those are all positions of almost, if not actual, crisis. But someone decided to...

Re: Ulster's finances
Munster are the defending champions so are a worthy scalp for the travelling team to test themselves against. Ulster are just ulster.

Re: Ulster's finances
I think there’s a lot of confusion around about Ulster / the IRFU / finances etc, leading IMO to this situation where while Ulster are definitely in a bit of a squeeze, it’s been blown out of all proportion, to the extent where I’ve been seeing people responding with surprise to the contract extens...
