Jackson is a bloody good defender full stop, he absolutely nails a couple of big lads a game, never mind for a small man.

Risky putting a guy who only covers one position on the bench. Remember when we had to put Paddy Wallace on in Paris and the whole backline had to be re-juggled? It'll be McFadden or Fitz in that order on the bench. Still think we should be trying to bring Marshall into the team, notwithstanding D'...

Jackson is a bloody good defender for a small lad, havent really seen him shown up in defence at all. If Earls is out, do we look at putting someone like McSharry/Marshall onto the bench to stand up against the Urak Hai next weekend, as imagine the centres will be tackling alot. That is not going t...

I've actually been doing the bodybuilder walk :blush: thinking about it though, with the snow and bad weather i haven't run at all since the week before christmas. Off to google foam roller....

Rumble Roller or some sort of foam rollers are your friends (well not at the time of doing them)

eeps, ulster have 2 irish qualified THs, one who is good enough but never fit, and one who isn't good enough but is getting some gametime as he develops. Unfortunately we can't magic up an IQ TH who's good enough, they have to be developed. If Fitz was fit for a few months, we wouldn't be having th...

This Sexton biz is all very strange. Remind me what exactly has been announced and by whom. Has Sexton or his camp made any statement at all? Could he have signed for another club already and Racing just haven't caught up? He's signed for RM. Fair enough, but what's with all the denials? No idea,bu...

MunsterMan!!!!!

Lads, the IRFU dropped Fitz from his Irish contract when he was injured; and it was Leinster who gave him a contract through his rehab. Can you all give yourselves uppercuts. I wonder where Fitz will end up in the long run,given the issues over the last 12 months? Wouldn't mind seeing him join Muns...

MunsterMan!!!!!

Looking over on Gwlad they seem pretty confident again after seeing the Ireland team. Feel the Irish backline lacks the size and physicality to cope with Roberts, North, Cuthbert, etc. Could be right :? Yeah unless the forwards can keep the team on the front foot I would be a bit worried about our ...

How do you "target" the Welsh lineout?
Be in the same half of the field as the thrower?

That is definitely a start.

I hope this means they target the welsh lineout!

Earls is a better kicker and he also doesn't try to tackle people in the air! Actually come to think of it, Trimble do get a few yellows, how very unchristian!

Henry is looking a great player and would be very unlucky to miss out, but starting both Heaslip and Heaslip would make for a very defensive backrow. Both of them essentially fulfill a very similar defensive role for their provinces, and it would leave us with SOB as the carrier in the backrow. I d...

Sometimes I love the way folk here whip themselves into a frenzy over a training team well before the actual team is named. Henry is still in pole position to start at 7. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/21236821?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter According to a BBC NI journalist? Am...

I'll be surprised if we get anything better than parity in the tight.... Our line out is bang average and they'll have the better scrum with James and Jones... Two fairly shithouse coaches will probably cancel eachother out and I fully expect a Wales win to be honest. I think we should have an adva...

I assume you want a focus on glute/low back/hams?

BW lunges?
Plate/Sled drags?

For all the talk of Court's lack of dynamism he is a workhorse and a much better carrier than he's given credit for, he was in double figures for tackles made at the weekend which as a prop is great going. As for Gilroy vs Zebo, Gilroy was more impressive when they lined up together for Ireland A a...

The best 3 LH props I've seen this weekend have been Irish. Yep was thinking aut that during the week, Court got MOM in last weeks game, I think he has been one of the unsug heros for Ulster this year, been impressed with him? Courts is definitely the better scrummager of the three but lacks the ba...

I really wish the media would get people other than former teammates/mates of current players to talk about things like the captaincy issue. Quinny is trying to be objective but Shaggy is being really over-emotive about the whole thing. Listened to that last night and thought the same. Shaggy let h...

Not having a go, but it really is amazing how much Heaslip polarises people's opinions. I'd be inclined to think that any line of thought which is aligned with that of George Hook should quickly be abandoned. He hasn't captained Leinster lots for the jollies because Joe likes his headphones. Nor wa...

MunsterMan!!!!!

Amazed at the negative reaction to taking the captaincy off BOD. Thought it was a good move, and retaining Heaslip makes sense for the same reasons appointing him in November did. Over all I don't have an issue with it, and I'm far from a Kidney fan. It is actually quite amazing. Very Irish trait t...

You won't look like an Adonis with lots of long distance running. But with the weight training and running you'll definitely lose fat. Make sure you're eating lots of clean food and sleeping lots with that amount of exercise. What do you mean by clean food? :blush: My diet is good, anyway, lots of ...

MunsterMan!!!!!

So I've started the suggested weight training and am well on the road to becoming a muscly Adonis. I’ve also registered to do the Geneva marathon in May so currently my training is 3 jogs a week and 3 days of weights at home. My question is, are these aims completely at odds or will I get some syne...
