Well the Mexicans definitely are crossing the border and taking all the jobs.

I thought he was referring to spring break, where all the Gringos go south of the border to get f@*ked up.

I think you'll find Ulster winning in Thomond to become Ireland's third best province was only 7 years ago.

Second best team, third best province if my memory serves new right. Got to love Thornley.

Good to see we've kicked on so well since then!!!!

Was it Thornley who said Ulster beating Munster in 2012 would be bad for Irish rugby?

Jeeesus I had totally forgotten about that. Criiinge. As noted above, it was Hugh Farrelly in the Indo.



But an Ulster win this weekend would definitely be bad for Irish rugby.

It is a reference to the days before Michael Cheika, when Leinster-of-old (contrary to the popular belief in Mexico, rugby was not invented in 2009) used to take the field to the sound of the mexican hat dance, and do the dance itself as a sort of Leinster version of a pre-match haka, before being resoundly beaten by the opposition.

Good times. Before we sold out and it all became about "results" and "trophies".

I think that's why we have a soft spot for Ulster. They're obviously not bothered about having good players or winning stuff and maybe we see something of our younger selves in that.

Stockdale must be the new Dennis Hickey in this scenario

Would certainly explain why so many former Leinster players are arriving up North. Longing for the days of yore.

It's like the way some senior executives/developers from big companies leave and try their build own startup companies, they get bored of being so successful and want to start again right from the bottom.

Poor awec. This is all setup for a boards meltdown on Saturday night and a perma ban.

But who will mod the mods?

By the sounds of things he’s been going to Leinster games since before 2009, think he qualifies under residency rules at this stage.

I’ve never seen him in an Ulster Jersey, so couldn’t comment.

There's a rumour on Babbling Brook that Rob Kearney will miss the game. Back three will be Larnour at 15 with Dave K and Adam Byrne on the wings. RoL to start at 12 and Jack McGrath not in the squad.

So JGP on bench and Lowe misses out due to the Toner Inury (meaning Fardy has to play)

sydthebeat

I expect JPG to start

Dave_The_Sheep

Lowe's really not having much luck this season with injuries not his own keeping him out of the team.

He has to make the squad anyway, ****e that Lowe won't be involved but just has to go that way without Toner.

The Indo are reporting Sexton is a doubt and interestingly are saying Kearney is not injured but will be left out.

Reliable poster on UAFC reckons Ulster team is

O'Sullivan
Best
Moore
Henderson
Treadwell
Timoney
Murphy
Coetzee
Cooney
Burns
Stockdale
McCloskey
Cave
Balacoune
Lowry

Ross Byrne was pulled from the team to face Edinburgh due to a foot injury. So was he genuinely hurt or was he being kept back due to a Sexton knock?

Frawley will p1ss all over Ulster if needs be.

Battle of the midgets at full back :pac:

So per the Indo

Larmour
D Kearney

Byrne
Sexton/Byrne
McGrath
Healy

Furlong

Fardy

Fardy certainly has the hands to be an outside centre.
