You've literally made up a stat and are having a go at someone else for referencing actual evidence? :roll: Was a scottish poster either Topofthemoon or Edinburgh01. The figure is about 35% of the time the RC team coming out on top. Which checks out from and Irish POV. We beat SA, England, and Samo...

But when the plan appears to be to just accept mediocrity? To cut the squad and not replace players in positions we clearly need them but instead play youngsters out of position to the detriment of their development? To those of you wondering this is the plan as Earl imagines it. BUT thats not beca...

Typical that as soon as we play the sharks they wheel out their Springbok world cup winners Well you didn't exactly get the Bulls at full strength so swings and roundabouts Are you ever not a cùnt about all things Ulster?

As far as I remember, someone put up some stats showing this to be a load of shite. And that didn't include the games where the loser had a red card but the game was still excellent. Oh, what a great bit of evidence. :lol: :lol: You've literally made up a stat and are having a go at someone else fo...

Ulster have been treading water in the regular season for a few years now. Usually get proper humped in the knockouts (aside from that robbery in the South African semi-final a couple of years ago). We need to quit with the perennial band-aid fixes and sort of shit out properly. Just as long as the...

Paddyor - seem hopeful of an Ulster collapse anyway!!! Fcuking hell :lol: No. I said Earls talk of collapse was a little over done. Not the least bit surprised you read it that way though. Murphy has a good track record of getting a new team playing good rugby in short order and I think he could ha...

15/16 you came second in the league 16/17 you came second in the league. Ulster do what you propose and we'll miss out on NTHCNLSBH rugby, a massive loss of income and pushing us into a cycle of non-competitiveness for years. You didn't just throw the baby out with the bathwater, you had 5 test lio...

Ulster fans like Willie are notoriously fair weather it has to be said.

Casey's flawed and may never live up to JGP's shadow. But it's worth the trying. Sure as feck won't learn any other way and Murray....has probably peaked.

I always want the best 15 to play, however, a number of posters find it incredulous if I disagree with a selection or God forbid suggest an Ulster player should be in that 15. It's usually a bit more than though. You'd Henshaw ready for the knackers yard before christmas for example. I don't think ...

Yes, that’s our new (currently temporary) head coach.

He's the man in from HQ to do the branch review. Will be reporting back to Dublin who's for the chop etc.

KInd of what you'd expect in 4th or 5th choice fullback is what you're saying?

Is Henderson injured or was he dropped for Baird? Didn’t make a difference anyway. Didn’t need him.

No2 to no 5 is some fall from grace though.

paddyor

I thought Larmour was fine. Won’t trouble the coaches with selection at the same time imo. Think he’ll still be behind JOB Frawley and Hansen at 15. And I think Nash is a big winner from the 6n so behind him anyway for wing. That said he’s ahead of a few people like stockdale(hasn’t been mentioned y...

Yeah Murray was like the anti closer in this game. The old experienced head who comes on to close out the game? No

Hellraiser wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 12:14 pm Ultimately the buck stops with Farrell. Murray shouldn't have been on the bench, and he shouldn't have gone for a 6-2 split. If Ringrose had come onto the wing for Nash, we'd have won imo.

And POM, who got carded(again) as we were about to use the bench(again).

Just to refresh our memories, here’s Radge’s contribution to that Scotland game. https://youtu.be/s6ytZ77KaFU?si=EkgEQh_fnyDE9H5c I mean, we could argue till the cows come home about what Sexton did or didn’t do against the ABs, particularly in the end-game, but none of his contributions actively g...

Sexton's was arguably worse - old man shuffling around in a RWC quarter final - desperate. Is your memory that bad? ROG was shot after about 2009/2010. He struggled on playing second fiddle to Sexton apart from the 2011 QF. He finished his career on the bench in a loss to Scotland, in a campaign we...

I saw the most in-depth review into the funding model of the Irish teams today, it’s on the Irish examiner? I think, and twitter. It’s paid for so I’ll sum up. The ‘ers’ operate on a salary budget above the top 14 before the tax breaks are taken into consideration, whereas Connacht is above the Eng...

Borthwick should have done a Gatland. Throw in a bunch of kids and that would have gotten the media off his back for a while. He should have done a Gatland, but that's nothing to do with the media. Is he even allowed do that? Like isn't there a limit on how much he can change the EPS or is that gone?

It was certainly interesting that Dillane wasn’t it the big renewals lost from La Rochelle. Still reckon he’s more likely to end up in red than white if he did come home.

Stephen Jones is going for the "they don't like it up 'em" approach. He seems to think that Billy V and Manu will make Ireland quail with fear. What's even better: He suggests that "English" Manu Tuilagi is the man to take on "New Zealand born" Bundee Aki. I don't think that he can even see out of ...
