A Message for Friday Night’s Ulster Team

,

I don’t know if any of the guys will read this ahead of Friday nights game against the Scarlets, except the boul Justin, the FRU Presidente of course! I am going to eschew the normal banal good luck messages to the Ulster team that proliferate on other forums and instead exhort them to victory.

Luck should not have anything to do with winning a game of rugby.

It is the best prepared, most motivated, most highly committed, most tactically astute team that will win the game. This game will not be about performance at the expense of victory,.

WE’RE ULSTER, WE CAN WIN UGLY!

A win, any win will do, we have the potential to beat any team and now is the time to demonstrate it.

I believe the team can do it.

Friday night will show whether they, possess that belief. No one, least of all the support wants to be haunted by the spectre of the long faces on the terrace that became de rigeur last season. Banish those blues and the support will get right behind you.

We have a new coach, new backroom staff, new faces in the team and new, ever more creative ways for UR to motivate us, the supporter. Ultimately it will be points for a win that will be paramount whatever spin you apply.

To quote the immortal words of Ulsterman, Lieutenant Tim Collins on the eve of battle:

“I expect you to rock their world!”

The Ulstermen expect.

It’s now up to the team to stand up for the Ulstermen and deliver!!
