The Whitewalkers were back with another packed show and they had plenty to discuss regarding WhiteWalkers Chat & Craic!!

On this months show, the lads looked at the state of rugby's finances, the URC games in SA, and a big look towards the clash with the Munster lads  at Thomond Park.

The BKT United Rugby Championship CEO Martin ANAYI has started to lay the ground for the possibility for SA teams to get the points for the games that were postponed due to the illness which swept through the Ulster and Glasgow squads - but does he have a point? Could this derail the plans to have a league for Irish and SA side?

There is talk that the contracts offered to the Irish Women's squad contain a condition that the player must play in Ireland - is that a reasonable stipulation with the womens game as it stands?

Hosting last night's craic filled show were the Night King himself, Nigel QUIGLEY along with our resident South Wales URSC leader, Chris BROWNFIELDl!!

WhiteWalker 1 David TOPPING will be somewhere on the pitch, between the TMO truck and will appear for a round up of the Danske Bank Schools Cup games!

Hey Fellow WhiteWalkers & Global Rugby Family,

Recorded LIVE 28/10/2020:

The Craic:

On this months roundup of all things Ulster Rugby from Grassroots to Test level at home and abroad, we have been casting an eye on what effect the latest lockdown is having on Grassroots & Community Rugby within Ulster.  Our special guest was former Leinster, Benetton & Italy star, Ian MCKINLEY , and we asked him what roles he has taken on since retiring from elite level rugby including his appearance on TV as a studio pundit last weekend.

We will look at the recent Irish Academy 7s competition and what we can take away from that and the ongoing issue about the Ireland Rugby selection process, rationale and what some players within the Ulster camp need to do to be included! 

The Team:

Hosts The Night King of The WhiteWalkers, Nigel QUIGLEY is joined by co-host Wing-Man or rather "Wing-Nut", David TOPPING and the great Ian MCKINLEY
