Well, maybe not quite, but given how we are now the prospective champions having dispatched the defending champions, and may I say in a paradoxical way, both more & less easily that the scoreboard shows at one and the same time, for I know that this all sounds, and is, hollow.
But riding along on the chest of a slave , sorry, the crest of a wave, I had another gleek at the fixture list.
For those for whom that would be just too much trouble, let me say that the league have done their level best to give Ulster a fighting chance. We know that we are in a two-tiered league in terms of quality, some right dross & a handful of good teams, we know also that we will face our fellow Patricks both home and away so alls fair there BUT take a look at the rest of the fixtures and you will see that the only other game that should be in the slightest doubt is Scaaaaaaaaaaalets away.
We have Ospreys & Weegies at home, so all other away games at the dross should all be a cakewalk, FFFS we don't even have to go to high altitude this season. Qualification and potentially 1st seeding appear a formality .....................
....................unless of course, we face the likely scenario of Rory playing almost no games for Ulster this season given his current impersonation of Hopalong Cassidy & international commitments, that Marcell plays no more this year than last, so another two & a half games to go, that Girrid stays injured as usually barring SDC & International games and that various other players are either involved in scrapes with the Police or judiciary, or the usual run of bizarre, apparently unlucky injuries, that FOLK has another spat with Louis Ludik and sends him off to train with Cave & the young gentlemen (who are currently barred from Aquinas by the headmaster - allegedly), some clampit referee does us.
So everything clear I hope, we can expect the usual mix of promise and serious disapointment ............and probable defeats at Embra, Caaaadiff & the Dragoons.
We are BRILL. Stand up for the boys.
