Why would they discourage youth prospects? The fact is that the Ulster clubs side is significantly weaker than the u18 schools side. I think he’s suggesting that not everyone is as inclusive as you Liamo. He can speak for himself. He doesn’t need a bitter ballix like you to be his spokesman. I happ...

Ulster really need to drive the schools to develop a few baby eating farmers/ cow throwing tight five forwards instead of back rows and backs Maybe they should try the clubs, my clubs starting u18s props are both 110KG+ monsters , were both in the ulster clubs programme and dropped in favour of lad...

Off to The Pretenders tonight, then over to London on Tuesday for the Jeff Beck Memorial concert followed by Steel Panther next Sunday Eiiish… a Jeff Beck memorial show would be a tough slot.

I'll throw you a bone Jens since you're new to the comp. While EPCR run the semis and can, of course, play the semi anywhere they want, every single home semi for an Irish side has been in Lansdowne other than the 2009 semi when Lansdowne was being redeveloped .

Leinster used to have that problem, with a lot of Dublin clubs not putting out teams from U 14 to U18 (so the schools could have the players), and the teenage kids country clubs losing out on specialist coaching in skills, S%C and diet, as it was beyond the dads for the talented kids at that stage....

Who plays rugby in Ulster, is is exclusively the preserve of the grammar schools and clubs? Are the clubs exclusively Protestant players or is there a growth in the number of catholic players (the same question could be asked of the GAA in Ulster). My club is a bit of an outlier in Ulster rugby ter...
