Re: Ulster vs Wasps

It may indeed have only been a first pre-season run out but whilst we were missing some of our so called top players Wasps had more than their fair share resting as well.
Presumably the two games are designed to give everyone a run out before the main event with the arrival of the Cheetahs. Do we have to win this game? or has it been set aside as an OK loss.
CI... as for Rodders it does appear we were sold a pup and probably to appease D4 we cow-tailed as usual being fed the line they had yet again increased our SID by providing an Irish International prop. Just like they have provided us an Irish international to replace Ruan we now have two full Irish International scrum-halves covering that position.
I actually found myself agreeing with my friend in D4 when he repeated something that they had previously said to UR... that it isn't D4's fault that we signed several inadequate 10's as back up for PJ over the past few years.. yes they don't grow on trees but our problem not theirs and anyhow apparently we had been bleating that McPhillips was the future now it looks more back to the future...
Sometimes we make a rod for our own back... we appear to exclusively use one sport agent with the very very rare exception, we for some reason sign players 2-3 years in advance then feel responsible to pick up the re-hab bill out of some form of guilt and our project players never seem to fit the bill of a CJ Stander..
