How is he described? |
A big powerful forward who has captained several of his age grade teams. |
A useful hard working professional. Irish qualified through Sligo connections. |
An unknown quantity in the big time but has been tracked by several clubs since U21′s |
|
Who’s he replacing? |
A heavier and more powerful Kieron Dawson but will he have his cunning? |
Much more experienced than Stuart Philpott with good game time with Sale, Leeds and Saracens. |
Not as experienced as Carlo Del Fava but has shown a lot of promise and may be a rough diamond! |
|
Oh dear! |
Somewhat injury prone and has taken many blows to the head. |
Played for Munster |
Also somewhat injury prone and lacks big team experience. |
Looks like there is plenty of beef coming our way in what should be valuable additions to the squad which has tended to look a little light compared to the opposition.
These boys will need plenty of burgers and pies if they are going to survive a bruising season so make sure we can afford it and go to Ulster Rugby now and order your season ticket.
