The familiar mixture of poor and very good there. Honestly we didn’t deserve 2 BP but still disappointing to have one taken away on the last kick. Bul…
Izzy squeezed out by the return of Ryan Baird I think. Ireland view him only as a 6. Still 9 players is a great contingent from Ulster (second most…
