[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 899973, member: 45598"] Clermont a better place than Belfast? I don't think I'd agree with that. Even if you ignore last year, and I don't know why you would because PJ will have a hugely positive influence on Ulster like last year, next year Ulster are going to have Moore, Murphy in current problem positions and a new coach, the IRFU have done well appointing coaches recently too. They're also favourites to get the last European spot by virtue of only needing a win against an already qualified Glasgow the week before they play Edinburgh or an already qualified Munster the week before their QF with the Euro final possibly the week after and then they'll get a home draw v Ospreys. You can't ignore that a player who is entering his prime would want to be a starter, he won't be ahead of Lopez, there's half a dozen better French clubs for him to join in that regard. So while Clermont are better than Ulster (Marginally at that) they're definitely not better for Jackson, I think it's fair to call that a step down. [/QUOTE]
