Re: Women's rugby

It was really telling with the extra game in the Inter-Pros how much better Ulster were in the 3rd / 4th place play-offs. They need a bit of momentum to hit their stride and I was delighted they finally got the win after nearly 12 years. Now the monkey is off their backs but the IRFU has to make it ...

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Sometimes King they buy into the ethos that education is not to fill their pupils heads with woke transgender sexual bull but to cater not only to the child's mind but his physical fitness and well being -- and when conducting interviews to fill the posts within the school the interviewers make tha...

Probably more of a reflection of Instonians' strength than anything else.

Re: 2023 world cup

I think it confirms JS misses the cut. I hope I'm wrong.

Re: Big World of Rugby

Ulster have extended their Kingspan shirt sponsorship by 1 year to align with the stadium naming rights finishing in 24/25.

Re: Plastic Pitch

The planning application has an estimate of 3 to 4 months for the work to be completed. Assuming that the BCC planing committee meet in July it is going to be August at the earliest for them to start which means probably a November finish if no snags or hold ups. If as is likely the BCC Committee d...

I highly doubt it.

Re: Any word on the Academy?

Four players from Ulster named in the Ireland U20s squad for the World U20s Championship. Not great but not a surprise given how few were involved in the Six Nations.

Re: IRFU to take over London Irish

The IRFU would be better off using their money to put into the domestic and women's game.

Jean Kleyn might usurp Hendy after a monumental run this season.

Re: Contract Situation

I agree we want to use our Academy as much as possible, but props (especially tighthead props) take longer to develop and I'd be cautious about throwing Wilson in at the deep end. Absolutely get him some game time off the bench against the lower ranked teams, but if we were in an injury crisis, it'd...

Re: End of the road for Dan??

My view :- Last season - we lost 2 knockout ties we weren't expected to win at the outset. Won 4/4 in the heiny group stage, played some good rugby and saw Hume, Lowry, Marcus as 1st xv players with progress in others. Yes, it was gutting to lose both knockout games given the positions we got into ...
