Three losses in January to Scarlets (controversially); Exeter (disappointingly); and Bordeaux (meekly) were followed by bonus point wins over Edinburgh, Glasgow and Zebre. Another plus was the welcome sight of Marcell Coetzee wearing a white jersey! » » Sean Reidy – consistently impressive » » Marcell Coetzee – the only way is forward » » Louis Ludik – I play anywhere.com » » Ruan Pienaar – after a quick service the Rolls Royce is back purring » » Jacob Stockdale – the kid is a try machine » » Darren Cave – defensive organisation and bravery... and a couple of tries However, you can vote for any Ulster player at the Info Point tonight. DATE FOR YOUR DIARY BUS TO MUNSTER Ulster play in Munster on Easter Saturday – 15 April at 3pm. URSC will run a bus to the match. Register your interest at the URSC Information Point.

The URSC Player of the Season gets to hold, for a year, a magnificent bronze trophy (worth £10,000) and a watch (to keep). We have joined forces with a local company, Gardiner Brothers, to sponsor the award, which means that come the end of season Awards Dinner, one of the Ulster squad will get a couple of serious prizes to take home. In addition, we usually commission a caricature of the player drawn by our resident cartoonist. Gardiner Brothers will also provide a watch for one of our members (drawn at random from all those who voted for the Player of the Season Award). Get voting and good luck!
