    I just did that.

    And while doing it I realised he must have been the outgoing coach for the Aussie 7s. You might have heard that their captain got attacked on a night out recently, it was actually the leaving party for their coach, who I guess is Andy Friend. By some accounts that coach chased down the assailant.

    So if he has past experience of looking after players after nights out...

    Did you see how the captain was dressed? Totally brought it upon himself.

    I've no doubt that this will become a cautionary tale for the ages, for both genders and for very different reasons.

    I very much doubt this is the last threesome involving a professional rugby player.

    No, but it will be the last time a player can plead ignorance when it comes to repercussions for their off-field behaviour. It will be the last time we hear having done nothing illegal as an absolute defence against sanctions.

    Yes, if they get into circumstances where their sexual activity or private communications become public knowledge, it was their own fault for putting themselves into that situation. No one to blame but themselves.

    In fairness, after all that's been said and written over the last 12 weeks, here and elsewhere, it is very, very clear that things are not that simple.

    I have blue hair spray left over from the Quarter Final against Saracen's, if you want to borrow whats left you should be able to slip past the protesters unnoticed...!

    Do Ulster need a good coach, or do Ulster just need a dedicated hard ass?

    A Michael Cheika in 2005 type signing.

    I thought Gibbes was going to be that man but even he must have realised the clusterfùck and decided enough is enough. God knows who's going to come in.

    The protest looks fairly tame from pictures on twitter. 50-100 people max. Could be more than that in other pictures though or this could be early in the evening. I know people were saying on facebook they arrived at the ground at 6:30 and there was no protest to be seen.

    Outside, the photo above is across the road from the turnstiles.

    The Newsletter had a live stream, they described it as a "few dozen".

    I'm not downplaying it or saying it's meaningless, but compared to the level of outrage from the twitter types this protest is a huge anticlimax.

    Can't imagine so if they dont have tickets.

    Can't see them being allowed to protest by emergency exits either

    I was expecting hundreds from the outcry that's been ongoing on social media etc.

    Seems like a fairly weak turnout considering.

    Glad they aren't inside with potential to interrupt the game

    Yeah they look like they could beat up the Ulster pack pretty badly.

    The IRFU are making an announcement in it tomorrow. I'm assuming you've heard some rumours as to how it will go?
