The Incredi-bulls

On this week's Red Hand Podcast we discuss the Connacht clash, look forward to getting one over the Ospreys this weekend and chat all things Ulster Rugby. I'm joined by Fergus, Ian, Nathan and Dan. Enjoy.

A tough day at the office against the Bulls at the weekend, but the lads got the all important 'moral victory': a spirited performance from a young and inexperienced side against a team packed with Springboks. Can Richie's men bounce back this weekend against Connacht? The lads discuss this and more on the pod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkYXptY0fs4

We have a great episode in store for you this week. Legendary European cup and Premiership winning out-half Gareth Steenson joins the panel to talk about what he has been up to recently and gives his take on the Ulster 10 jersey. Always great to listen to Gareth. The lads discuss Ulster’s game against the Lions last weekend, look ahead to the clash with the Bulls and go through the Red Hand Mailbox. Enjoy.

We're baaack! Richie Murphy's men pulled off the great escape against Glasgow and now face a tough tour to South Africa. The gang discuss all things Ulster Rugby and listen to the Red Hand's first ever poem - An ode to Marty Moore. Enjoy.

After the successful summer interview series, the gang are back and talking about the season ahead! I'm joined by Nathan, Fergus, Dan and special guest, former Ulster player and European Cup winner, Andy Park. We talk all things Ulster Rugby, pre-season, new signings, overall trajectory and predictions for the 24/25 campaign.

Really enjoyed chatting to Robert, David, Alan and Ian Whitten about their respective rugby careers and their time playing together in the same team for Instonians (which included a Senior Cup win and incredible unbeaten streak).

I am delighted to be joined on this episode by former Ulster and Ireland centre Kevin Maggs. Kevin was known for his hard hitting, physical style in defence and attack, making him a fan favourite for club and country. In this episode, Kevin charts his journey from taking up the game at a relatively late age to going from laying kerbs and playing for his local team on Saturday to playing alongside midfield partner Brian O'Driscoll. Was an absolute pleasure to speak to Kevin and I hope you enjoy listening.

Loved chatting to former Rainey, Ulster, Dragons and Wales hooker, Bradley Roberts, a while back for this episode which is being re-released following the announcement of his recent retirement. His story is like something from a far-fetched Hollywood script. From club rugby, to pro rugby to international rugby in less than a calendar year. Remarkable.

This is the first re-release of some of my favourite episodes. Sean Reidy is a very common answer when you ask Ulster fans for their favourite player of the modern era. Sean typified the 'fight for every inch' mantra. Despite not being born here, Sean always fought for the jersey for Ulster and Ireland and is very fondly remembered in the province. There have definitely been times recently when we've needed players in his mould and hopefully the man himself returns to these shores at some point in the future! Really enjoyed this chat with him.

After all the interviews I've done so far, this is one of my favourite episodes ever. Neil Best is an Ulster legend, fan favourite and one of the most abrasive and physical players who has ever played for the province. He’s a big character and I know you’ll love listening to our chat.
