Re: Ulster vs Leinster
James Ryan looked one paced and very average. I know he’s only back from injury, but top class players like Henderson, POM, Sexton, Keenan etc usually hit the ground running when returning from injury. Can’t see him getting ahead of McCarthy or Beirne. Both are significantly more dynamic and explos...

Not sure I like the option of removing the scrum option from a free kick. Sounds like a way of avoiding the real issue - better reffing of the scrum.
