Interesting article from Kinsella on Doak at 10 https://www.the42.ie/nathan-doak-out-half-6342199-Apr2024/ Not sure I agree with it all but thought he looked more than comfortable on Saturday with relatively few mistakes. Jack Murphy is supposedly coming north. Seems an odd signing, Burns obviously...

Culling expensive props is one way to ease a wage bill. Muster did the same not offering cronin and Ryan contracts after covid. Unless you have some ready made upgrades it can fall flat. And badly. Salanoa being a sick note. Knox not making it nd Wycherley not really progressing to the level. How m...

Not new or returning (afaik) but really enjoying Kin, only on season 1. How does the second season compare?

This lad is forever showing up in my Twitter feed, is he for real?
The algortihm is really pushing aggro content.

Just switch across to the ‘following’ feed on it rather than the ‘for you’ feed

Been phoning it in.

Not sure if I agree with that. He’s not been ripping up trees, but far from phoning it in. Would be a good signing with much better players around him.

Ulster look a much better team already. Not so sure, Stormers weren't great and we're still dropping a lot of ball. We offloaded a lot but we've been doing that all season, just the Stormers didn't punish us in the way Quins did for example (where we made way more metres and breaks). Players seem a...

Disappointing to lose that but really there was no expectation for a win there, so plenty of positive Gritty defence, Doak looked mostly comfortable at 10 and a pleasing considering the age profile of our side.

Ref (incorrectly) called him the assist tackler so needed him to roll.

Ref aside we’ve looked good imo though Stormers are having a mare. Think you’d need more than 7 going into the second half.

McGrath is a shortarse. Most times making that tackle he'd be fine as he'd only be up to the wingers shoulder. His problem was that he was tackling the only player on the field shorter than him. One of the angles also showed an elbow fend from Arendse. Classic Cammy There was no (attempt to) wrap, ...

Doesn't everyone in NI have "allegations of an historic nature" made against them?

What sort of naughtiness are we talking about here?
Alleged raping of his daughter apparently.

A common thing in NI apparently
