Misses out the fact that we have done really well in racking up sponsorship deals since the new backroom team took over, while say a player like Payne might be one what is considered a tiday salary but less than what he could have got in France he get's a free car from our Mazda worth about 25-30k a...

In the last 5 games Best has started we have won more than 94% of our lineouts, in the last 10 games it's greater than 90%, in 6 of those 10 games we have lost no lineouts.

There is no issue with his throwing.

earl the beaver

Not Best's finest performance, and the lineout wasn't perfect, but I wouldn't want him dropped by any means. i agree although Cronin looked very good when he came on, he is so dynamic. Cronin's a sub though. He's the best hooker we have at Leinster or Ireland to bench. He's not good enough to start...

Earl,have you only watched highlights if the game? D'arcy was very good yesterday. I watched extended highlights last night, game condensed into 50minutes, so pretty much all the play Ah ok.

D'Arcy was brilliant today. Definitely worth his spot. (For the first time in ages.) Easy now, let's not get carried away, I managed to watch extended highlights in the pub last night, he was better than his usual for Ireland over the past two years but there was still errors in there, brilliant is...

The thought of Earls at 13 against Manu gives me nightmares, England might actually score a try in the 6N. Who else? That's the problem. All other options have their defensive deficits at 13. http://www.irishrugby.ie/images/news/DarrenCave_Ulstertraining11.jpg You mean the guy who is injured and un...

earl the beaver

You know fine well it won't count for anything despite the fact D'Arcy is no longer just a weakness he's a liability. As for Paddy's pace, he's always been pretty quick but Ulster have head specialist sprint trainers in over the last few years from all over the place, including one guy who works wit...

earl the beaver

It's all about earning £12 a day.

But when you consider that food, accomodation, lift pass, ski hire and various staff outings are covered it's all spending money.

earl the beaver

So yeah Gordon D'Arcy is apparently better than Paddy Wallace

earl the beaver

Meh, it's getting to the point where I only go out for a couple of hours when it's not day off.

Also considering doing another season.

earl the beaver

He's 26.

The Howlett re-signing makes it pretty clear Bowe won't be going there.

Hopefully they give JJ some games next season. He s...

Do not ski along roads.

It fucks the edges and base of the skis something shocking, did it on tuesday and used them for the first time since today, rubbish doesn't beging to describe how it was skiing on them.

iHumph is lucky to be involved at all after his masterclass in shiteness last week.

Niall Annett could be going to France for a season apparently, Pro D2 would stand him well for the physicallity required, also toughen him up a bit.

God yes.

Jackson's kicking off the deck has been extremely disappointing, something to do with a coach at Ulster (Doak again) changing his technique, he was a f**king metronome until he moved up to the senior Ulster squad.

earl the beaver

Two outhalves on the bench for the u20s

earl the beaver

Fair point re the forwards coach Armchair. I dont think our current coaching set up is right at all but the target of most of my anger is Doak. Gilroy is a hell of a lot more solid than last year in terms of his all round game but his attacking instincts seem to have been blunted as a result. I get...

earl the beaver

The pack can still serve up ball but our backline when missing atleast 2 of Paddy, Cave and Trimble can be a bit toothless despite having some talented players in there. The pack still has some carriers but Wannenburg's injury robbed us of a workhorse last week to ease the load upon everyone else as...

earl the beaver

Had a wee glance on the supporters site there and Dean ryan's name was mentioned. Apparently he wa in Belfast this week. Like him as a pundit and was I think a fairly decent forwards coach. Not sure about ability to run the whole show. But if he had a good backroom team then who knows. Yeah I don't...
