Welcome to the Red Hand Podcast.
Are there dark clouds gathering at Ulster? Is a storm coming for the current head-coach?
Following defeat at the weekend, Dan McFarland slammed the standards in training and, by extension, his own ability to coach the team.
I’m not sure the words went down well with Ulster supporters, many of whom seemed not best pleased by the performance or Dan’s reaction.
It’s just a game at the end of the day – a frivolous game, a bit of fun – entertainment – so there’s no point in getting too worked up about it.
At the same time, Dan and the CEO of Ulster Rugby are paid vast sums of money to deliver results to fans who invest a lot of time and money into the team and want to see the team play to their potential.
It’s hardly been a disaster of a season, but an unexpected home loss has ruffled a few feathers. Maybe the winds of change haven’t yet started to blow, then there is a stiff breeze in the air.
We have Bath this weekend and, because of the fickle nature of professional sport, a win obviously means everything will be sunshine and light once again.
Or does it?
To discuss, I am joined by usual panel Ian, Nathan and Jack.
