Last few years been grim as an Ulster fan. Team way below sum of its parts; lads not enjoying playing; and failed coaches holding on for grim death. I’m a stoic but it’d been a long time since I really enjoyed watching Ulster. Start of this season is just such a breath of fresh air.
Possibly the best half of rugby Ulster have put together in years? It wasn't a good Racing side (are they ever?) but that was full on foot on the throat and zero mercy shown!
Need to be incredibly careful of those slow starts, a more accurate side will happily take advantage of those mistakes!

People are upset by disabled people they believe to be abusing the benefits system. But they are nothing compared to these insulation contractors paid hundreds of millions (paid through our fuel bills) for botched work that now needs more millions to undo bit.ly/4rDjg7D
30,000 homes fitted with botched insulation under government schemes, ministers admit
The government has documented the number of homes blighted by sub-standard work for the first time.

Sounds like Ulster last year.
That killer start yesterday holed the game below the waterline. Can't concede 28 points, essentially, off four ruck entries.
Lineout was a disaster. Calling and structure was all off.
A chastening defeat. Everything we needed to hit (lineout, contestables) all fell away to nothing.

Good. Now leave that platform.
Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA.
We're holding X accountable for:
🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’
🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository
🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers

We listen to Welsh fans crying about how shite the URC is and yet Glasgow, Ulster and stormer's have all won tonight. The URC is only second to the top 14 IMO as the best northern hemisphere league. The reason Welsh clubs struggle in the URC is purely down to the WRU and it's lack of funding.
