Life as an Ulster fan is anything but boring and, as usual, there's plenty to discuss on the podcast this week.

Let's start with the positives:

Ulster Rugby have an incredibly large and loyal fanbase, a fancy new stadium and pitch and a talented squad with a number of really good prospects coming through.

So, this begs the question why Dan McFarland's men are struggling on the pitch and why Ulster are in such a precarious position as an organisation.

There's a saying that a fish rots from the head down.  Something to think about....

However, there's also a saying 'SUFTUM til I die'.

Real fans support players on the pitch. Indeed, no proper fan could complain about their team when the players are giving 100%. That includes whether they win, lose or draw.

There is no doubt about the effort of the current crop of players - they are a passionate and committed bunch.

So, What's holding them back from achieving their potential as a squad?

Is the issue that needs to be fixed with the Ulster Rugby management and head-coach or is it just a matter of time before everything starts to click on the pitch and everything is rosy once again?

To discuss all this and talk about the games themselves I'm joined by Ian, Jack, Fergus and delighted to be joined by a name that will be familiar to Ulster fans: Humphreys... Daniel Humphreys.
