No great revealing insights, but they did say that Dan McFarland has been in regular touch and is on first name terms with all of the squad. The usual amount of motherhood and apple pie about what a great club Ulster is - easy decision to make to come here - great squad and strong competition for places in the starting 15 etc. etc.
Some random points:
Burns and Addison said the pre-season training regime here is much tougher than what they have been used to!
Burns has had a scan and has been passed fit to play.
When asked what away fixture they were looking forward to - all said Racing 92, but Jordi added (with more than a bit of an edge) the RDS!
Henry Speight was quiet but is clearly a bit of a joker. As expected cited Christian Leali'ifano as the main influence for coming here.
When asked who were the best players they has played with - Burns said Carlos Spencer; Moore said Danny Cipriani [calling him exceptionally gifted]; Murphy went for Paul O'Connell; and Speight said David Pocock ['not just as a player, but as a person'] (I forget who Addison went for!)
Marty Moore said there were 10 first class props in the club all vying for places - all equally good!
Will Addison said the player management here was much better than in the Premiership - especially in the lead up to Europe.

No great shakes - but a nice bunch of guys. Burns seems to be a bit of a live wire, and Addison seems a confident bloke. Moore is fairly quiet as is Speigth, whilst Murphy comes across as a consummate professional.
Any shagging?

Tomorrow I’m going to the highest village in España but I’m telling you now, there will be no shagging, could kill a man of my age, top shagger or not.

The rest of you keep shagging.

Not linking it because they reference the trial for no explanable reason. Google Rory Best and look at the news section.

"Marty Moore said there were props in the club all vying for places - all equal."

That reads better.
