    URC 2023/24 - Semi Finals

    Farrell pulled rank and ordered this so lads would be fit for SA. Or else that Kev guy controls the future.

    URC 2023/24 - Semi Finals

    McCarthy lucky there. Losing JOB would not be good, Frawley at FB would really aid what the Bulls are trying to do. Ringrose's shoulder is absolutely fine based on some the hits he's putting in.

    URC 2023/24 - Semi Finals

    Bulls really trying to target our defence out wide. Familiarity with our defensive structure and wingers pace. Looks like they'll eventually get something out of it. JGP so good.

    Junior World Cup 2024

    Realing raining on Ulster's academy squad announcement.

    Ireland’s tour of South Africa

    So probably a squad of 33ish for the tour? Only 2 tests imagine something like: Props: Porter, Healy, Loughman, Furlong, Bealham, O'Toole/Jaeger Hooker: Sheehan, Kelleher, Herring Locks: Beirne, McCarthy, Ryan, ? Murray maybe? Just have Baird cover? A lot of lads injured Backrow: Doris, VDF...

    Ireland’s tour of South Africa

    Gonna be spicy. Think we'll lose the one at altitude and depends how many we have fit for the sea level test. Would like Baird to start one of the games. Will be a real tester for presumably JOB.

    URC 2023/2024 Quarter Finals

    Is Dweba the currently worst thrower for the quality of player that he is?

    Osborne having a very good game.

    Wanted - Second row to play in Ireland

    I don't think they expressly say they're only looking for and Australian or Kiwi? Could easily be the UK or Europe. I don't think it's a great way to run a club but it's not super unusual. Some clubs have a real monopoly on talent for various reasons so depending on the club and their situation...

    The Movie Thread

    Got rave reviews at Sundance. Definitely going to be something different.

    URC 2023/2024 Quarter Finals

    Playoffs starting with a whimper rather than a bang. Munster will be happy enough, haven’t had to pull everything out.

    Transfers rumours

    Yeah I'm doubtful of Tector staying on and Jack Murphy is supposedly following his dad so from a Leinster perspective it makes sense to keep all of them. I'm also still firmly of the opinion that Frawley is not a starting 10. However, given the absolute dearth of options in Ulster and Connacht...

    Transfers rumours

    Kinsella doesn't seem to think it'll happen. Connacht moved on to trying to get him.or Frawley after Prendergast fell through and it doesn't seem to be working. They've permission to sign an NIQ as well.

    URC 2023/2024 Quarter Finals

    Strong team, I get increasingly worried that despite all the noise, we won't see Ringrose again until next season.

    A Political Thread pt. 2

    European and local elections today in Ireland will be very interesting to see the results. A general election is very likely before the end of the year and certainly by March at the latest. Sinn Féin's support has fallen recently and this is our first election with a notable far right element...

    Wanted - Second row to play in Ireland

    In fairness how many of the lads emigrating to Aus have the physical profile to play lock at a decent level? Majority if them wouldn't be rugby players either. As said the job probably wouldn't be high level, probably bar work or admin stuff and is aimed at a young lad looking for year of...

    The Leinster thread

    Ruddock announcing his retirement at the end of the season. Absolute Leinster legend and definitely someone who was unlucky not to get more international caps during certain periods. Obviously didn't play much this season but would imagination his loss will be felt in the dressing room as a leader.

    2023-2024 transfers

    Morgan to Ulster confirmed. Great signing for them, because anybody who can play 10 would be a great signing for them.

    Investec Champions Cup Final - Toulouse v Leinster

    Carley needs AR or TMO to spot anything of relevance and even then.
