    Love it. Led by a good Sullivan man in Peter; Nathan, Ian and Daniel always good on analysis, comedy Fergus too, with the odd guest to add value. Only waffler is cynical Jack, but the others make up for it. Thanks for the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ulster Rugby, Art and a Life Less Ordinary: Niall Conlon
Q: Talk to me about that decision. It can't have been easy.
Conlon says he knew that if an Ulster career did not work out, he was not keen to pursue other rugby options. Cambridge offered a meaningful transition, after which he moved into finance in London and later found a new creative outlet in painting.
Ulster Rugby, Art and a Life Less Ordinary: Niall Conlon
Q: What sort of advice would you give to people then?
Conlon says it is important to find something you love doing, listen to the feeling that a path is not right, and try different activities until you find one that gives you a sense of purpose.
Bulls Fightback and a Stormers Showdown
Q: How encouraging did you find that? Because battling back 21 points down and in that heat and that altitude, how hard is that Gareth?
Steenson says the players' style is built around attacking with the ball, and that the team stayed committed despite the physical collisions. He adds that the Bulls' size and the conditions can wear them down, creating opportunities for Ulster to score.
Bulls Fightback and a Stormers Showdown
Q: What did you make of the game anyway? How pleasantly surprised were you?
Steenson says Ulster's four tries and bonus point were encouraging given the travel, heat, altitude and the Bulls' physicality. He praises the team's resilience and attacking ability while acknowledging the challenge of going 21 points behind.
Ulster’s Italian Job and Bulls Run
Q: Even against Zebra, I know it was an away game and all that, but are we asking too much to have one 80-minute performance? Because they did drop off quite substantially. What do you think the issue is there? Is it mindset or what's going on?
Steenson says the drop-off reflects natural reactions after building a lead, the home side's response and a team still finding its feet. He adds that winning can become a habit and that Ulster must pair their try-scoring with better defence.
