• Daily role will be hard to resist for Worthington
When I was a kid I remember watching international football and more often than not seeing what looked like old men in suits barking out instructions from the bench.
• Play it again Ulster and stand up to intimidation
So, last Saturday the Stade Francais chat was “We’ll see you next week” then. Not really inspirational stuff. In fact, looking at the fixture list, it was pretty much stating the obvious.
