Meribel has extended it's season by a week so I'd say they're confident of the snow staying put and tbf thats reasonable given there's more than a metre in resort nevermind on the pistes. I stupidly went and got absolutely twatted in town last night before getting the last bus back to where I live a...

Kidney needs to go. Its a joke that the IRFU are f**king around with the NIQs. All the provinces are turning out decent kids, we need an international coach with the brains and balls to bring them through . I guarantee you that selection policy will not change under any new coach.. http://www.googl...

McFadden and Cave have played together for the As a few times.

Still don't think McFadden is all that personally.

I want to see a Cave-BOD partnership.

Spence needs to vary his game to be perfectly honest, every team can defend against him, sure they'll give up yards but he won't break the line like he did last season. Right now he is a bosh merchant, and when he tries the outside break he's crabbing rather than running the right angle. I have some...

Are you two (pillock and spazbelly) in a battle for who can be the biggest mong?

Parks to Connacht mentioned on Off the Ball last night as well. Seems to be gathering a bit of momentum now I can't wait for Dan Parks to be world class in that case. Good man Just like Paddy Jackson, Luke Marshall and all them are world class. Last I checked, marshall has been playing AIL for most...

He's your Ian Dowling.

And I don't mean that as an insult.

Realistically he's squad filler he'll never nail down a first choice place.

binge, forgot Downey. Didn't think Whitten was actually that big. Is Sheridan even around anymore? Whitten is a big unit, over 16stone and about 6'2. Well he's down at 16 stone exactly and it wouldn't surprise me if you weighed him now that he'd come under that. I'm not saying he looks small just t...

Have the Irish simply given up on building their player base, and letting youngins come through the ranks? Well, i guess this will be great for the Boks, having so many south african props in ireland means their player base is smaller, which means they'll continue to languish in world rugby. http:/...

Looks like a strong Ulster side. They need to keep the pressure on if they're going to crack the top 4. We have been doing well at keeping the pressure on so far, won 8 of the last 9 with 6 BPs in all competitions iirc. Need to keep it up because effectively one loss and we'll have to rely on other...

If Spence is touching 6ft he's lucky.

Cave is only just 6ft as well but is a heavier build than Spence though Spence is moe powerful.

The messiah moving up in the world.

Interesting that he's shifting between 12 and 13. Doesn't seem to be set in stone where he plays which is good.

Ian Whitten interview http://www.ulsterrugby.com/news/10184.php an Whitten is the type of player every squad needs to be successful. He is a likeable character at the training ground and his team mates know he will do the business on the pitch... He has never been the first name on the team sheet, b...

Fitz set to miss this weekend as a precaution.

If we bring up the Rory bankrolling Ulster rumours on here and keep them going for a while, what are the chances that when Ulster unveil Bowe the meeja here will start harping on about the same stuff? Only in their case they'll actually believe it. People on here believe it never mind just the meeja.

Earl, it's the worst kept secret in Rugby that he donated funds to Ulster.

EC, it's absolute shite.

I won't believe it til it's officially denied

Last time fuckwits in the media started talking shite about it he did iirc.

There will be an important announcement from Ulster at some stage in the next few days apparently.

Paddy Wallace has been withdrawn from tonights match to travel to France with the Irish squad. Before any smart arse comments, no I am not going to tonights match. I've given my season ticket to my brother tonight. Interesting. I would assume there's an injury to a FH rather than a centre going on ...

Nope, but we only have Afoa, Pienaar and Muller confirmed for next season so there is the possibility of Wannenburg or someone else.

earl the beaver

We have better depth in the pack than we do in the backs imo.

Got youngsters like Birch, Henderson,McCall, Annett etc coming through too.
