Sports day today. Wearing a 2012/13 Ulster season Peinaar , Bowe, Muller , Trimble , Payne and Aofa . 15 games unbeaten at the start of the season. Replace the football part itโ€™s Ulster rugby heritage.

Iโ€™d say my quick typing whilst walking to work is to blame for the spelling error ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚. Lions are a bit of nice craic especially when tests are around the corner. Wednesday games however arenโ€™t as fun when Iโ€™m working ๐Ÿ˜‚ just had to watch highlights and catch up with the score that way.

We seem to have more involvement playing against the lions with past and future Ulster players ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah being an ulster fan in the other poolโ€ฆ itโ€™s like a champions cup pool from 4 years ago.

I think that loins have so much riches in the back row. Iโ€™d say heโ€™s definitely somewhere on the pecking order if we loose a flanker. Or it might be that he doesnโ€™t fit the #cohesion that Faz wants.

He was a classy operator. Glad he retired with us.

I mentioned Duncan Williams being a ache for Munster over the years.

Another man to add to that listโ€ฆ Dennis Buckley how that man doesnโ€™t have at least 20 Ireland capsโ€ฆ

He is one that fit the mold of the IRFU didnโ€™t play internationals but he could have kicked on for Fiji and or the allblacks. Very interesting career.

Both used to send my head west when we played them. Iโ€™d say my biggest nuisance from a province was Duncan Williams from Munster.

I have said Isa already. However another player I admired through the ol system is Ian Madigan we had him yes.. but I would rather have him before the likes of Bristol

Leinster I can name a few players. A few very niche players aswell. Iโ€™d say Isa Nacewa incredible back three player who have pushed Leinster into the pro era

Right as a nice weekend question. As an opposition fan who was the one ulster player through the years that caused you a massive headache. Iโ€™ll reply with your teams one for me.

Bit of a professional rename. Itโ€™s still me still full of rugby opinions. It allows me to be a bit more freedom on this website.

Leinster playing the way they do and Bulls have not left the bus yet. I think they need a change of tatic asap if they where to try contest but as I have typed it Leinster have brought on RG Snyman....

FairPlay to Connacht. But I agree. We have the most average coaching set up compared to the other provinces.

So who is this guy, and what is he doing on-field in a Boks polo, jeans and no accreditation?
Shouldnโ€™t be anywhere near red Zone (which is basically pitch and run-offs plus tech zone), even in an official capacity.
