[lucky number 7]

Ok mate we aren't looking for trouble ...

Says chap from Gorey wha?

 

[lucky number 7]

A quiet respectable little town...until the dubs arrived and caused every 10-16 year old to sport a psuedo north sider accent..

 

[Logorrhea]

Try reading the other thread again instead of making yourself look the fool.

Was an honest question. No need to go all leave brittney alone on me.

I'll take it that you are indeed going and looking forward to it .................... but only as a once off.

 

[durbutter]

Was intending to go, but have a horrendous amount of work on. Tend to avoid MK like the plague anyway though. The strangest, most depressing place in the world?

Even worse - It's across the boarder in Bletchley!

 

[Duckdee]

Bletchley won us the war!

My poor fellow. I am so very sorry to hear it.

I'll be there. Currently debating what train up to get. How long does it take to get from the station to the stadium?

For a second there, I thought there were going to be some surprises. Nope.

 

[munstermuffin]

I actually look at them teams and worry for Ulster.

 

[monkeypigeon]

Ulster are going to get 'dicked'.

That or they'll play ok for 5 minute bursts, have a ref that pings NH off the park and a last second drop-goal from Pienaar.

Either way I'm happy becauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse I LIKE NORTHAMPTON!!!!

 

[coonor]

To be fair to Ulster they have reached their target and anything else is a bonus. Of course they will want to win but I think Northampton need to win it more.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Anyone else look ath the Northampton scrum half and immediately scan the teamsheet for Winterburn, Keown and Adams?

 

[Duckdee]

Seeing as it's spelt differently, no.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I don't know who any of those people are...

 

[cyRil]

And Steve Bould.

 

[Peat]

I am not worried because of the team sheets. I am worried because this team clicks together less often than Northampton, which is unsurprising when you consider time as a team spent together. Whatever happens, Ulster appear to be on an upwards trajectory.

But come Sunday, we've got the beating of them, and that's what we're there to do. They'll be saying the same, this could all go disastrously wrong... but here we find out how far Ulster have come. Hopefully we'll do to them as we did to Cardiff...

 

[Jockstap]

A match up that's really gone unnoticed here is Wallace v Downey, finally we'll be able to gauge just how good Downey really is, if he comes out on top why not bring him to the WC.
