Ulster 2015/16

[Laighin Break]

Stringer is available.

That would be interesting actually. He's of course Irish qualified, but will not be playing for Ireland again. Therefore what would the difference really be between signing him or Pienaar from an IQ pov?

Yip we have some good young props in the academy and also sub academy plus a couple in the underage setups with Ulster and Ireland.
There are also a few potent 10's but the scrum half situation is a a year or so behind with one with promise still in school.

I think you'll manage at 9. Cooney is good and Lloyd has impressed in his couple of starts for Munster in the Pro12. That young lad has a bit about him.

However, the ideal mix would have been Cooney, Pienaar and Lloyd IMO.

Pienaar on a lot more money, I'd say. IQ and possible international aren't the same thing

Common sense seems to have prevailed and we have dumped the Arno Botha signing for next season over dodgy knee issues, probably find another dodgy one to replace him now.
