The run in
Only geggin'
In August I reckon we would have been more than happy with 18 pts from those 5 games, so for once, we're a bit ahead of ourselves. Not much between 1st and 6th though, and already, a sizeable gap after that.

Re: The run in
Hmm. Presume the last time we started with 5 in a row was 4 years ago? If we get to 8 in a row we'll be in fair shape going into the Munster game.
Re: The run in
We have got some tricky fixtures out of the way too
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
Re: The run in
Next 6
Connacht Away 7th October
We've always played our strongest hand the week before Europe starts, but with our current rotation policy this could be changed times. Given the Westies current form I think we could edge it.
Bordeaux Away 16th October
Will be very dependent upon how serious they view the HEC and what sort of team they select.
Exeter Home 22nd October
Exeter haven't had a great start to their own season, home advantage should see us get the win. Our lack of bonus point try wins could feck us up massively in a tight european group.
Munster Home 28th October
Must win after last years debacle.
Edinburgh Away 4th November
Ireland New Zealand 5th November / Scotland No Fixture
Difficult game considering Edinburgh could well have a full international deck.
Zebre Home 25th November
Ireland Australia 26th November
Italy Tonga 26th November
Always great getting an Italian team during the international window.
I'd be happy if we won our home games, ecstatic if we picked up an away win.

Re: The run in
If we're the real deal we should be winning all those games really. Realistically we will probably lose at least two away.
Climb up onto the top of your house and start screaming: 'stand up for the Ulstermen, stand.......'
Re: The run in
Edinburgh are keek with their internationals so on that logic we should still win and if we don't I predict we won't win anything this season as we don't have strength in depthUlsterNo9 wrote:Edinburgh Away 4th NovemberIreland New Zealand 5th November / Scotland No FixtureDifficult game considering Edinburgh could well have a full international deck.

All together now
Ringpiece is the second coming
Sexton is the best 10 ever closely followed by Wee Mads
Leinster have the 2 greatest Irish hookers ever
Trimble Bowe and Gilroy can't even get in the Ulster team
None of our centres are playing week in week out
Rob Kearney is on form

Am I hearing correctly that munster are playing super well and have some super people at holding things?
Re: The run in
First time we will have Pienaar available during the AIs. Hendo and Best will be missing from the pack only. With Henry, Touhy and Herbst possibly fit again.Rooster wrote:Edinburgh are keek with their internationals so on that logic we should still win and if we don't I predict we won't win anything this season as we don't have strength in depthUlsterNo9 wrote:Edinburgh Away 4th NovemberIreland New Zealand 5th November / Scotland No FixtureDifficult game considering Edinburgh could well have a full international deck.
Jacko will be benching for Ireland probably and the hitman getting a chance. Joe can't take all our centres plus we have Cave and Louis. Can't see Gilroy making the Irish squad, possibly not Tommy either. With Stockdale and Lyttle chomping at the bit, some guy called Charlie too, I reckon we will hump them.

Re: The run in
Is there any need for a test against NZ in Chicago? The way they are playing we will get stuffed.

Re: The run in
Someone told Nuci there is a guy in Chicago that gives a feck about this game .... D4 got all excited and are moving heaven and earth to tap into this vast reserve of Irish support ... I personally don't have the heart to tell him it was a hobo trying to bum a cigarette.
Always ask yourself, "What would Big Rodney do"... And every time the answer is... "Eat It"

Half of American's think they are Irish qualified.
