Re: Ulster v Scarlets Fri Nov 29 7:35pm

Whatever the situation is with the Ire national team making the bulk of revenue in the Irish game - then it’s even more extreme in Wales. No club prize money, empty stadiums. The WC deprived wales of much needed Nov Int revenue - this was a financial necessity. But rugby is the "Welsh national...

Re: Pro 14 2019/20

The Welsh are desperate to play the English teams more often. I would say - "if they want to watch English teams, would they just f**k away off and support Bristol"... but then realised, when you look at the "crowds" watching the Ospreys or the Parc y Empty - then perhaps they'v...

Did any of yez see this?

1. Its a bad idea and
2. Why would anyone want the worst teams that can see fit to withdraw all their internationals for a glorified testimonial?

Apparently personal misconduct or something.

What a f*cking lightweight Jo Swinson is. FFS, she'd get ate alive at a high school debating society. Jaysus the English must have the 3 worst leaders in history by a considerable distance. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/cba92d8f2811d947756fe4edc66957371620bd6b/299_15_2994_1796/master/2994.jpg?widt...

Its gonna be real interesting to see how the Cheetahs go with RP directing traffic from 9.

If they have a back three that can chase and catch - then they have the tools to do very well.

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.

Its a rotten deal for NI No it isn't. It's still a decent deal for Norn Iron. We'll still have a foot in each camp, although there will be more red tape for businesses. It wouldn't let me post the other day, hopefully now... Sorry, strongly disagree. Few reasons why: 1. Any manufacturing business t...

Stockdale's defence was mince. Has been for ages. Glossing over it just 'cos hes ours doesn't mean its not true.

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.

If I was a betting man I would go for the deal going through parliament, sounds like it will be very tight though and could easily go either way. As for the DUP I think they need to accept that the deal is probably the best we were going to get. Its a rotten deal for NI. May's deal was significantl...

Re: Ulster v Cardiff Fri 25th October 7:35pm

No question we need to be beating the Blues at home.

Glasgow might go down to the Dragons at Rodney parade given how they've started which would be useful - but the Cheetahs may well beat the Westies. Which would mean they'll be troublesome to catch over the full season.

Our line was looking cream-crackered and full of gaps after about 30 mins.
