As much as the heart wants to disagree, the head knows you're right. The ecstasy with the agony and all that other bollocks that comes with being a present-day Ulster supporter. Couldn't agree more about NOC. We could do with that bloke Steenson back. Won't happen though, received wisdom is...

The outhalf in question is Niall O'Connor (No relation to JOC (James O'Connor). If only!). Don't know why he is preferred to Humphreys really, Defensively just as bad and without the flair. A poor goalkicker too, desptie having that "kicker's mask" (Look at M. Steyn's or ROG's face to get an idea of what I mean...

As a part-time Wallabies fan that was agony to watch in the 2nd half. Like one of the posters on the match result blog post, I feel that the turning point of the match (and defining moment of the game) was AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) spilling the ball in Hougaard's tackle. After that my heart sank and I knew that there...

No problem, it would be my pleasure. As far as Ulster doing well this season goes, if our first choice team is on the park I think we'll compete with any side we come across but below them the depth is looking a bit shallow. Injuries and IRFU player management rules on internationals like...

Apologies for hijacking this thread again all, but I was at the Ulster vs. Leeds (pre-season friendly) game tonight which one Adam D'arcy happened to start at fullback. He did virtually nothing wrong all night, was a constant threat when running and caught all his high balls to boot (He wasn't...

The Irish-Qualified thing is more about keeping to IRFU squad restrictions rather than the prospect of him playing for Ireland someday anyhow. We've used up all our Non-IQ spots in our current squad with messrs Danielli, Pienaar, Wannenburg and Muller. Shifty was a big loss when he left as...

He sounds like what we need, particularly if he can kick goals. We're having a small crisis at fullback with Bryn Cunningham crocked and with Clinton Schifcofske gone to Super League. The fact that he could play for Ireland is a big bonus too due to the IRFU restrictions on non-qualified...

Not sure whether I should post this here or not, but anyhow, Adam D'Arcy has come up to Ulster to trial with the club for a fortnight or so. What's the lowdown on him? Would he be worth signing up?

Thought Hougaard grabbed his chance with both hands and looked to be the goods today (his theatrical turn with Rokocoko aside). Heir apparent to FdP's jersey at the end of the world cup perhaps?

Ulster have signed Pedrie Wannenburg from the Bulls: http://www.ulsterrugby.com/11910.php
