Good to see Gats finally appointed for the Welsh and Irish Lions tour 😀
As an Ulster fan I’m really looking forward to this season. We have had a good preseason and a solid start to the league against A strong Glasgow side. Considering we have Court, Best, Tuohy, Henry, Ferris and Wilson to return to the pack then I believe we will really dominate teams up front. Nick Williams also is a bit of a beast at 8.
In the girls we have Pienar, Wallace, Trimble and Bowe to return along with a good mix of young guys coming through. My only worry is at 10 as Jackson and O’Connor are quite young and don’t have a huge amount of experience.
However I think we will reach the last 4 in both the league and Europe. As for Prem I think Sarries will be hard to beat however I’d like to see Exeter do well as young Ian Whitten from Ulster has moved over there.
From an international pov Ireland have Eng and Fra in Dublin which we can win. We have Wales in Cardiff as the first match so if we can win that and get a bit of momentum then we could lift the 6 nations.
Just noticed Ferris and Trimble are in the Ulster squad for the Ospreys game on sat. Should be a cracker.
If any STW’ers are visiting Ravenhill let me know and we will have a few pints of the black stuff!!
