Tane Edmed picked out a smart option for a pre season coffee, talking code with Cleary. Not a bad man to learn from.

@mattyhoran They were opening the full stand so could have filled it which wouldn’t have taken any extra security. Also mad to ask people to shell out for a season ticket on a losing team and not including that game in it

@mward1246 @NSWWaratahs Ulster generally well attended, and from what I can gather people had to purchase a seat separately from season ticket.. My Dad went and said an absolutely brilliant game, so it's a shame many youngsters who could have been fans missed it.

Great piece from @NathJWilliamson on the reality of Joe Schmidt's decision and why family always had to come first.

@jondonaghy @UlsterRugby @Reds_Rugby To be fair this is pretty much a full strength Reds team containing a good proportion of wallabies that will take on the Lions. Also they’re right by round one of Super Rugby so primed.

@IBloodyLuvRugby @gus2033 Two European cups as a head coach abroad, also strong knowledge of Super Rugby via time at Crusaders as assistant. Plus good relationship with Schmidt. Definitely up there. Plus JS came to Ireland via Leinster not via international rugby.

Lovely piece from @admckendry, would be great to see a school like Rainey go on a deep run. Competition needs it.

For anyone in Belfast definitely get to Reds v Ulster on Friday, decent proportion of the team to take on the Lions in July will be playing at Ravenhill including 2/3 of the Wallabies backrow. Also Hume/McCloskey centre pairing will be fun.
