Unless Andy Farrell posts on here, I'm not sure that has any bearing on this discussion? You said nobody wants him dropped, except ulster supporters. Which is blatantly bullshit. Maybe you’ve had your head stuck in the stand, but soon you’ll find Farrell and O’Connell dropped him at the RWC. It’s J...

Nobody (outside of Ulster) wants him dropped!

Andy Farrell dropped him.

Ryan has been criticized from a certain section of irish fans as a polite robot with no personality who isn't able to handle the top level of physicality that La Rochelle represent. He shows that that talk was a load of shite and the same set of fans, criticize him for that. Can't win, can he? Jame...

On the injury front, Seán O’Brien has begun the graduated return to play protocols after being removed for a HIA on Saturday and his availability will be determined later in the week. Simon Zebo (knee/illness), Patrick Campbell (ankle), Shane Daly (ankle), Peter O’Mahony (shoulder), Diarmuid Barron...

he should stand quietly by while the other team takes the piss? Nah. Ryan has been criticized for being too quiet in the past, now he is too loud, he cant win with some people. He was immense at the weekend and underlined how much of a loss he was in the final when he went off and when he was missi...

Only one round gone but the English teams look much stronger this season. 3 teams going bust last season means the top teams had over 100 players to choose from to strengthen their squads. It would be like Connacht going bust with the 3 other provinces scooping up the likes of Hansen, Aki, Blade, R...

Forgot to mention we are also hamstrung by a head coach who is a fcuking dope, making selections like Matty Rea over Sheridan which defies all logic. McFarland's selection policy is a total lottery. I think Sheridan has a niggle/injury, or at least I hope he has. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Greg J...

Defence is soft, but also scrum/discipline. Some of the penalty counts against ulster is shocking. Vs Glasgow a stat came up on TV around 70 minutes which stated Ulster lost the penalty county 12-2 since the 20th minute. It was something similar against Bath. McCann has been our only breakdown threa...

Schools system in Ulster probably suffers from the same issues as the senior squad The talent is there but the coaching set up is poor Look at the u19 ulster representatives, not many come from the top schools. Campbell, methody and RBAI need to be producing more professional prospects, given their...

9 Ulster players in the schools squad, yet they never won a game
Has the underage production line run dry?

31 medals a minute, had pace and soft hands to match. https://youtu.be/ebCyLS91Tfg?t=395 RIP.

So you want our cast offs again?

Just the one.

You can keep the rest.

Aldritt back and the IQ doubles
Both sides missing key players. Leinster without furlong and Conan. Two huge forwards for them.
Furlong is currently nothing worth writing home about at the moment.

He’s still better than Ala’alatoa

Perhaps Toulouse or Racing. English sides starting well but no-one rest standing out. Perhaps Bath…
Lol

I only said it because they are arguably the form side in the English league.

I’m assuming because Leinster were in reverse, even though going backwards isn’t illegal.

McFarland and coaches take blame, but players are also meh. Signing Kitshoff and Ewers has added absolutely nothing. Our scrums seem worse than last year and that's all the S. African is supposed to bring to the table. Rough season ahead, and the seasons after that. Feck all coming through. Ah well...

Hard to see who is going to improve it You need a 10. Ulster play too much off 9 Doak needs a 10 who is screaming at him for quick ball on the line, and Burns is nowhere near that. Between Doak faffing and Burns in the pocket, Ulster's ball is just too slow, and their attack gets eaten up by any co...

No future with this coaching staff.

Not one back has improved in the past 2 years.

He’s toast and so is Dan Soper.

Willie Falloon

Think it’s fair to say Dan McFarland and his coaching staff have huge questions to answer.

Could be out of a job by 2024.

Ewers is a bit of a useless lump, isnt he?

Ulster need to try and get a lBP out of this.
