Re: URC 2023/24 General match thread

Just looking at the table, Cardiff now have 11 BP from 14 games but only 3 wins. They've also had a draw. Their PD is only marginally negative. Must be hard to keep on getting the wrong side of close matches but equally it's good to see they've been competitive in nearly every game. Hopefully they c...

Murphy will need a lot of time to fix this rabble. I'm not sure what the Ulster lads expect. It's rare a coach can instantly fix systemic problems with a side.

I thought Irish provincial teams were like NZ ones, where you had to be a member of a club in that province to play for it?
