Re: URCR12 Sharks vs Ulster
Are you ever not a cùnt about all things Ulster? Did an ex Ulster player take your mum out for dinner and not call her back or something. How exactly is my response to Willie being a c u nt? You get weaker teams at the start of the season and stronger teams towards the end of the season. The persec...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread
These days commentators get all frothy at the gash about players making 20+ tackles a game. Lydiate, for all his faults, did that with alarming regularity. He rarely missed, and he always put his body on the line. You could argue that the tight five might have contributed a bit more (Paul James, I'...

Of those 94 minutes, he played 80minutes vs Italy where he was many peoples Man of the match. He didn’t take much contact in that match, but his passing and offloading was very impressive. He played on the wing vs Wales for a while also, where he smashed some fella. Only a fool would suggest he is ...

So the unit had to have played together: For example (only as not had time to think about it) Front Row - Price, Windsor, Faulkner Locks - AWJ, Charteris Backrow - Tips, Warbs, Taulupe 9/10 - Edwards, Bennett Centres - Gibbs, Bate...

It will be interesting to see what happens to the Ulster squad if Murphy gets the gig full time.

You agree with Earl that they've a poor squad or a decent squad? Because he's said both! TOT is being moved by Ireland, for Ireland. Nothing to do with Ulster.

Ulster have been treading water in the regular season for a few years now. Usually get proper humped in the knockouts (aside from that robbery in the South African semi-final a couple of years ago). We need to quit with the perennial band-aid fixes and sort of shit out properly. Just as long as the...

Is Henderson injured or was he dropped for Baird? Didn’t make a difference anyway. Didn’t need him.
No2 to no 5 is some fall from grace though.
