Ruan Pienaar
Here a really interesting article about Ruan in The Irish Times.
At 38 he has extended his contract with the Cheetahs and hoping to move into coaching in the future and he hasn't ruled out the possibility of moving back to Belfast. In fact, his comments on Ulster and the Ulster fans are positively glowing!!
It's a good read.

Ulster doesn't deserve him

Reading the IT article, that is, not Merv's comment.
Re: Ruan Pienaar
Not to denigrate other signings, some of whom were excellent, but the best Ulster signing ever…great player, great attitude, great guy
Re: Ruan Pienaar
Sure he had to go - Nucifora said he was holding back all those native Ulster 9's who were coming through the system.

Re: Ruan Pienaar
Indeed! Nucifora must have had great foresight in identifying the talent of a 14 year old Nathan Doak. Getting rid of Ruan just cleared the way for him!!
Re: Ruan Pienaar
no we got a scrum half who was being held back for other reasons .

Re: Ruan Pienaar
The only person he was holding back was Paul Marshall. That's how ridiculous Fucnora's decision was.

Re: Ruan Pienaar
The irony still gets me that we had to get rid of Pienaar to make way for an IQ 9 and we get Cooney who has consistently been one of the best SH in Europe and yet Ireland refuse to pick him absolute joke!
