Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Go to BBC Sounds. It’ll be on the radio Ulster evening extra (between 4pm-6pm) the Wednesday it was confirmed McFarland had left. Like I thought, no transcripts. Only the voices in your head, yet again. What are you slabbering about? I literally told you the 2 hour window and programme to find it o...

If that’s what happens, it’s probably because Baird is needed to cover POM.
Or not as worried about the Scottish pack power so much as the pace in their backs and wants Baird’s pace
Drop POM then?

Part of me wonders if they are looking a few £££ to fill in the corners at Ravenhill if/when Casement get their funding increased from the original £65million or so. When McFarland got sacked, Rory Best was on BBC Radio Ulster that afternoon talking about how Ulster rugbys very existence is under t...

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

I think the first part of this post is fairly accurate. I'd actually say our outside backs depth has fallen off a bit from what it was. On the wing we only really have Stockdale, McIlroy, Moxham and Balacoune. If this guy turns out to be decent enough he could easily surpass all bar three of them. ...

I was going to suggest we start Ringrose ahead of Henshaw but I wonder will they consider him for the wing? I'd definitely start Baird. Doris captain. Star...

Did Murray kick that last possession away a bit too quickly? Maybe they feared conceding the pen but think they could have taken another couple phases out of it. They could have taken more than a couple of phases out of it! I thought they were going to run the clock down. Shocking from Murray. Murr...

Kilos won't help them scrummage.
My point still stands.

We get just one decent prop a year, is all we need.

England are sending out u/a teams that have no idea how to attack, or defend against a decent attack.

He’s the better lock and bring more natural power and bulk to counteract the big English forwards.
Also helps that the guy who had his place on the bench is injured.
So you keep saying
He's not really injured. It's an excuse for having a token Ulsterman in the squad.
