Focus has to be on brining through young Irish talent , guys like Lorcan Mcgloughlin, Postelthwaite, Henry Walker , Mcnabney, Lukas Kenny, Telfer etc

So American here, nothing will replace our Football in my heart, but starting to really like Rugby, is Ulster the team to root for, and why? Greetings from Miami by the way to beautiful Ireland!

ulster a team made up of mainly local players, plenty of young talent in the squad but not been able to get silverware in 20 odd years. just signed a very exciting coach and a slight overhaul of the squad for next year. Very fast paced attack that's developing and a defence that's finding its feet I quite like watching them

[@johnmurray2995]

Leinster or Munster would be more reliable Irish picks if you are looking to see a team win silverware. Ulster are a classic club who have a distinguished history, particularly in the old amateur days, but in the professional era have been in a perpetual cycle of rebuilding, nearly looking like they'd actually win something, and then having to rebuild again. They have a very dedicated fanbase though who deserve a more successful team.

Hope he gets a fair chance to do his job and get to hold on players
