I don’t hate Cave I just want to see a bit of realism , he has had some serious injuries over the years he is now one of the more senior members of the squad along with Trimble and Bowe , in my opinion some are living on the memories of the player he was rather than the player he is now which is reasonable but not great his greatest contribution to the back line was his timing of a pass thankfully it is a gift which players don’t lose like pace in legs and mind . When playing and depending on experience you will always get a younger player who makes a fool of you .

The academy needs to be dissolved and young ULSTER talent should be playing club rugby where they may, at the very least, learn what playing for the shirt means.

An Ulster team for Ulster players...............please!!
Some of the leinster men at Banbridge have fully bought into the club and the shirt and are playing well for Ulster

I think we'd weathered the storm only for the game to turn on Rory's refusal to stick his snout up Deysel's exposed hole in that maul late in the first half.

Looks like the squad will need quarantined because if this keeps spreading it will be all around the ground after Saturday and the fans will be taking it home thinking its all in our minds..

I have it on good authority that he hates you, or rather would if he knew of your existence.

Baggy go back three or four years and you'll see at that time I rated Cave as BoD's replacement but that was 4 years ago--Unforunately Tempus Fugit

I thought we'd signed Beaver!
Is Tempus a kipper as well?

Question - does Glasgow's utter shellacking by the Ladyboys this weekend make our total dicking by the Mexicans any easier to process??????

You might loath them with ever ounce of strength you have - but seriously jeeeeez that is some awesome weaponry of a team they have assembled.

No. I didn't expect us to win in the ourDS but the manner of the performance was pretty galling. The insistence on playing a passive defence against a side who beautifully demonstrate the benefits of quick linespeed is fairly dumb. They just lived off our mistakes.

FOLK

The defeat of Glasgow was to be expected as they had little to actual play for and the margin also hides the fact that Glasgow scored a couple of very nice trys against Leinster and did show enterprise when in possession .

Their commitment to die in defence was somewhat less evident .

Leinster have unreal squad depth but they are beatable in a one off game. In Larmour they have unearthed a really special talent. For all the hype over Ringrose, Byrne etc. Larmour looks the absolute shiz.
