Nothing would be better than BdC imploding and missing the cut today. Please let it happen.

Just give me an official Masters thread title and none of this other nonsense

Ulsters Red Hand

Day 1 of the Masters done and this thread isn’t even on page 1. For shame.

Anyway, good enough start for Rory

Just because the IRFU fund development officers to go into schools and clubs doesn’t necessarily mean they’re any good. In my experience the whole process is very basic, for example you get a CCO etc coming in for one or two sessions and never hear from them again. What’s the point in that? Bigger s...

Anyone invested in any of the big US tech companies (magnificent 7) directly?? Yes, Microsoft and Amazon. They are both on the up. I might buy more when they dip but they are only going to increase in price long term, Microsoft with it’s AI work and Amazon with AWS and it’s investment in AI. I’ve t...

Luke Marshall retiring at the end of the season Decent career but what could he have done without the injuries I remember seeing him for the first time at the combined friendly at the opening game in the new Lansdowne (I think it was U20's?). He was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. ...

Must have been spending too much with Joey Barton

Decent career but what could he have done without the injuries

With his head injuries i’m surprised he lasted so long

Ulsters Red Hand

Prendercast, Ahern, Coombes etc are decent, but far from insurmountable. Irelands top backrowers are mostly wrong side of 30, so there will have to be a bit of development work done there. Conan is 31, VdF 30, Doris 26 and Baird 24. The latter three are the starters, imo, and won’t be going anywher...

Certainly expect him to feature in the autumn internationals if he keeps this form up Not sure if he will go to South Africa Not a chance. He’s arguably not even been our best back row this season and he’s always good for a stupid penalty or two every game. Plus the depth of backrow players he’s co...

It’s his fourth or fifth start at 10, I think he’s done ok. Mistakes should be expected at this stage

Not sure how legal Montpellier are being but dear me we have looked clueless at times

If Clermont are anywhere near as good as they were 6-7 years ago with Parra, Lopez etc they will give us a hiding

Could have put money on that. Willemse is a walking red card.

Ulsters Red Hand

Tight 5 not good enough. O’Connor has been non existent and Kitshoff has given away a few penalties and stood and watched as Ulster got pushed off their own ball at the breakdown. Also can’t see us getting much out of Whitehouse, but that happens with him. Think I’d be subbing AOC, Kitshoff and Rea...

He easily the worst on the pro circuit. The ref from last week got a lot of stick but I thought in the second half he was quite good.

How did Montpellier not get penalised before that counter ruck?

Son-Of-Ulster wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 1:01 pm Butchered that in the end.

Ulster needed that try.

What match are you watching?

Ulsters Red Hand

To be fair that was quite nice from the backline to use that space.

Ulsters Red Hand

Any improvement under Murphy being undone here, both tries very soft

Whoever the coach will be has their work cut out

May as well just handed it to him.

Yep. Could well have been a penalty against Leicester for hands there, but would have been harsh.

Good game
Have to say Stormers have been a great addition to the URC/ERCC, no slouches

Surely not, where have you heard that from?
