Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Not sure if RR but Willie Anderson retiring from Ulster Academy. Anyone with insight know whether it was him or Campbell’s fault for our inability to produce forwards for the last decade? The only thing I had heard about him was that some of the academy boys thought he was very limited in his appro...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
I saw the protests in London yesterday and thought it was a bit ironic to see so many people gathered in the same place during a pandemic, shouting #blacklivematter, when statistically people of ethnic minorities are more likely to die from Covid-19 in the UK.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
Lads, current guidelines say phase 5 will mean rugby can start back up again (actually specifically mentioned on the website) So do people think the club game will go back at this stage? Up north October seems to be mentioned as a possible return to training date. I hope the Ulster branch make an e...

Many many French fought like heroes around Dunkirk. A weirdly overlooked part of history. Yup, it is something that annoys me, the French on the ground fought bravely, but the soldiers were badly let down by the high leadership.
