"From a character reference point of view, this is completely out of character for Tadhg. I can't even remember him having a yellow card, never mind anything else, in the years that I have been working with him. Hopefully that will be taken into consideration"

3 - Jamison Gibson-Park assisted 3 tries v Munster, the 6th time he's recorded a hat-trick of assists in a URC match since his debut - more than anyone else.
He threw a 38 metre pass for his first assist v Munster, the longest try assist pass on record in the URC.
Quarterback.
Tadhg Furlong cited following an alleged incident involving Munster's Gavin Coombes ๐ต ๐ด
Law 9.27 states: 'A player must not do anything that is against the spirit of good sportsmanship including but not limited to grabbing, twisting or squeezing the genitals.'

'This is the Dan Sheehan at 8 era. I'm fully on-board'
โIโll never forget the first Ulster session. I went up in a Gaelic jersey, a Dublin one. Really stupid of me! They had no idea who I was. I have never, and Iโm not joking, been tackled as hard in my lifeโ

โNot many teams have come to South Africa and won two Test games against them, back to back. I donโt think any Irish team ever has, so there is history in that.
"Weโd love to come over and win them two Test games and create a bit of history."

Nice to see me pairing Stu McCloskey and Tommy O'Brien up as starting centres is gaining traction (and support) ๐
Embracing the Dan Sheehan as No.8 era, I'd love to see those two lads team up in an Irish backline, next month ๐๐
