The Red Hand The Red Hand

Plenty to chat about as always!
Ulster’s whipping boys Leinster fall at the final hurdle in the Champions Cup Final once again  - what does this mean for Irish Rugby - does it create room for another province to rise like a phoenix from the flames to take their place?
I’m maybe being a bit tongue in cheek about Leinster, but we will be talking about the ways in which the IRFU may seek to change things to level the playing field with the other provinces
In other news, Ulster have secured the services of a new 10 - 22 year old Aidan Morgan is the chosen one. He looks impressive in the miserable weather in Wellington, New Zealand, but the question is, can he do it in similarly cold, wet and windy conditions at Ravenhill.
Ulster Rugby leadership met with fans this week at Ravenhill where they were grilled by the Jeremy Paxman of the rugby world, Cool FM’s Pete Snodden about the state of the club.
We’ll talk about all of that plus the small matter of the final game of the regular season against our provincial rivals, Munster this Saturday.
To discuss all of the above I’m joined by a balanced panel - Nathan and Fergus as well as Munster Rugby fan royalty - writer and host of the Red Army Podcast, Caolan Scully and  podcaster with the Provincial State of Mind Rugby Podcast and creator of Three Red Kings - Tom Savage.

The Red Hand pod panel is joined by an unbelievable panel this week - former Leinster, Connacht, Sales Sharks and Ireland hooker and now one of the top pundits in the country, Bernard Jackman, and former Connacht, Leinster, Zebre and Ulster second-row and pundit Mick Kearney.
We discuss all things Ulster Rugby including questions such as: how will the season finish up? What comes next for Richie Murphy’s young and streamlined squad? Indeed, what hopes and expectations can we hold for the province over the next number of seasons?
Enjoy.

Life’s never boring as an Ulster fan.
Big news this week as Richie Murphy is now permanently at the wheel after successfully getting his feet under the table during his temporary time in charge.
Now, the question is whether he’ll be able to turn this ship around in choppy waters.
Richie’s at the helm but a number of his crew have jumped or been pushed overboard - nine of them in fact.
It will certainly lighten the load financially, but  where does that leave the squad?
There’s also the small matter of the match at the weekend and a massive clash with our provincial rivals coming up on Saturday as we continue the race to secure a play-off place.
To discuss all things Ulster Rugby I’m joined by Nathan and Jack.

In this special bonus episode Dan and I are joined by legendary Exeter Chiefs out-half and Ulsterman, Gareth Steenson.
Gareth chats about how rejection from Ulster spurred him on to better things.
The European Cup winner also discusses why he is coming back to his native Norn Iron.
One of rugby's most inspirational and interesting stories. Enjoy.

The gang are joined by top rugby journalist Brendan Fanning as we attempt to tackle some of the big issues facing Ulster Rugby.

The lads chat about the win over Ulster, who might be joining us from our feeder club in Dublin and what we need to do to salvage the season.
To help us in our quest to answer all the big Ulster rugby related questions, rugby analyst and expert Jason Lear joins us.
