Yes, make it Ulster in the Magners league
Yes, and I'm gonna post which team I think it should be
Yes, so long as it ain't an English team
Yes, so long as it ain't a French team
Yes, I'm not opposed to the idea, but let someone else work out the details
No, too much Rugby *is* enough
No, we should stick with the Force and the Wallabies
No, its a bad idea
I don't know or don't care...
What do people think of us adopting a Northern Hemisphere club to follow and support during the off season? Perhaps even strike up a "brother fan club" gig with their support base?
If you think it has merit, please suggest which clubs and then we'll put it to a poll and try and get in contact with the contenders too.
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
Is there a new kid on the block in any of those leagues like our FORCE?
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
we don't have enough rugby to follow already???
S14, APC, Pacific Cup, Tri Nations, Local ... dunno how much more I can fit in Coach hehe
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
Coach you know I would obviously have a bias for Ulster in the Magners League (messageboard very welcoming) or Bath in the Guinness Premiership (messageboard not so tolerant of non-English), and can't see myself wanting to be associated with any rival club in either of those leagues...I guess other NH Force fans (are there many?) would feel the same about their own favourites.

I am willing to put my hand up and say that I am ignorant to the world of Northern Hemisphere Rugby, but I will say this
In my humble opinion our good mate Flat-top has never steered us wrong, so I will back his idea for Ulster in the Mangers League, this should keep TLH happy as well, I have heard a whisper that he likes Mangers, not sure if this is true or not.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you!

Stanners came from London Irish, Dave Fitter has just gone there
His Bro plays for Glascow Warriors (I think)
It doesn't have to be UK based either...
Welborne came home from Brieve, Brock James has just gone there (and is there leading try scorer I think!!)
We won;t become a supporters site for any adopted club, just give us something to follow as a group

A very well supported team Shaun with very good facilities, one of my good friends is a Saintsman. You probably wouldn't find it too daunting on their board (as a Bok fan) but I warn others that English messageboards do love to bash anything to do with Scotland, Wales, Oz, NZ and to a lesser extent Ireland. To be fair there is sometimes a little bit of Pom bating on here but trust me it is nothing to the sledging you will experience on GP messageboards (IMHO of course).Originally Posted by Shaunmarn
Irish fans are widely accepted (along with the Scots) as the most welcoming of other nationalities, sure doesn't everyone have Ireland as their second teamIf this is to be a success I would suggest either an Irish (not necessarily Ulster) or French team (Beaver struggles with English I think the spellchecker would overheat if he had to post in French
).
Ulster have two messageboards, you don't need to register to browse so take a look and see if the type of debate appeals.
http://www.ulsterrugby.com/forum/ - the official one
http://www.uafc.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php - the unofficial one
Between us neither looks as professionally run as TWF but then they don't have Coach![]()
Yeah both my cousins living in England are members of the Saints... I took a look at the ground when I was over, pretty good... wish the Force had something like that...
Every forwards dream is to become a back...
I think that one looks to full on.. i much prefer the TWF layout.. i dont really like the GTT layout eather.. and it dosnt show you which threads you have posted in.. that really shits me!
Good point, Happy... and all the NH rugby comps don't finish till May - so it will crossover with pretty much out entire season....Originally Posted by Happy
Mostoy it will give *me* more stuff to post about - I hate it when this place goes all quiet like...
I might make an executive decision and just say Ulster (nothing to do with the fact that they are top of the ladder :p )
I'll add a poll
POLL ADDED - Multi choice, vote away!

Its got to be Ulster for the following reasons;
With a surname like Donnelly i aint going to follow some candy arsed pommy team.
Flat- Top is a good egg!
Im addicted to Magners!
I support 2nd tier rugby( sorry FT)![]()
That's a top idea Coach, I'll come over here and enjoy reading about Ulster and learning something about the Magners comp too![]()
Good news for you Coach, they've got an RSS Feed here !
The Heineken Cup kicks off on Saturday with Ulster taking on Toulouse, should be a cracker. From what I understand the Heineken Cup is a relegation based tournament taking in the top teams from Europe based on where they finished in their own leagues plus last years winner.
I've gone for the more traditional summer approach over at GTT of jumping on the cricket... go the BaggyGreens![]()
Is it Ulster that Justin Harrison plays for? Or Munster? Or Leinster... Oh bother...
It is Ulster though isn't it?
So you like the allblacks for the World Cup then?Originally Posted by The Lone Hydrangea
