Nathan Doak at 9 for the U18s was clearly being held back by Ruan.

Couldn't possibly have a club player better than a schools player !
depends what school?

anyhow one thing that would help them in all this is a little bit of WD40 to help some of the cogs in the setup start to work together... many are pulling in their own direction and for their own purpose.... then you have a CEO who tells all that will listen and even some that don't want to that the PRO 14 was his creation and his alone and that the RWC 2023 will see him knighted and become Ulster Rugby greatest living legend.. move over Gibson and McBride your number is up.. I hear he is eyeing the naming of a stand after him.

Work it out there is only one combination of matches played in Ulster that fits the description, if you haven't worked out by Saturday I will tell you Image
Lowry hasn't played for Banbridge yet to my knowledge, he and Angus Curtis are the only two academy outhalves we have.
Lowry will struggle to get game time at Rifle

Lowry will not struggle to get game time at Banbridge. If he isn't involved with Ravens/u20s etc he will start for Banbridge.
