Chris Henry: The Game of Life

The Red Hand ·

2020/12/30

Chris Henry tells his story of developing a passion for rugby at Malone and then reaching the peak of his playing career with Ulster and Ireland, what it was like to play in one of the greatest Ireland teams, one of the greatest Ulster teams of the professional era, suffering a stroke which could have ended his career, and the process of transitioning out of the game. I really enjoyed speaking to Chris - he was an unbelievably good player – an old school back row who put his body on the line for his

Andy Ward: Ulster's Flightless Bird

The Red Hand ·

2020/12/07

On this episode of the Ulster Rugby lad podcast I’m delighted to say that I’m joined by Ulster Rugby legend Andy Ward. Every Ulster fan will know Andy Ward – I remember watching him as a kid and thinking that he was hard as nails - I was, and still am, a huge fan of his. A rock solid and unflappable presence for Ulster, he was, like all good flankers, the heartbeat of the team and had the respect of his team-mates and fans. Andy was part of the legendary Ulster team that won the European Cup in 1999

Evan Kavanagh: Rugby Guru

The Red Hand ·

2020/11/30

In this episode I’m speaking to Evan Kavanagh – a font of rugby knowledge and the man behind a twitter account called EK Rugby Analysis. He has really good insight and a huge amount of knowledge about rugby. Everyone these days has an opinion on rugby – who played well, who didn’t and why. Sometimes it’s hard to know exactly why teams win or lose, why teams can drop in performance or why certain players don’t seem to fit into teams. Evan sheds some light on this as we discuss Ireland and Ulster and

The Red Hand ·

2020/08/13

In this episode I speak to Old Belvedere, Ulster, and Ireland scrum-half, Kathryn Dane. Life in women’s rugby in Ireland is tough and a relentless cycle of training, playing and work. Kathy embraces the lifestyle and is positive about the future of women’s rugby in Ireland. It was an absolute pleasure to speak to Kathy and you’ll enjoy listening to her inspirational story of pursuing greatness on the field while juggling this with her job as a physio. I hope you enjoy it.

Mark Blair: Engine-Room Hero of '99

The Red Hand ·

2020/07/14

My next guest was an influential member of the history making Ulster team in 1999, who, as we all know became the first Irish side to win the European Cup. In this episode of the Ulster Rugby Lad Pod I’ll be talking to Mark Blair. Mark was one of a number of players brought back from the mainland to bolster the Ulster squad ahead of their European campaign. After a shaky start, Mark became a key member of the squad and was a huge character both on and off the field. Really enjoyed chatting to Mark

Jan Cunningham: Ulster's Legal Eagle

The Red Hand ·

2020/06/29

My next guest was part of Ulster's European Cup-winning side in 1999. This was the greatest feat in Ulster rugby history — achieved by a squad made up of a mixture of full time and part time players. Indeed, his career straddled both amateurism and the professional era. Having been a key part of the squad that season, unfortunately, Jan’s memories of the final itself are not particularly pleasant for reasons he’ll explain. He played for Ulster to end of 2002/3 season and we discuss his transition

Sammy Arnold: Life in the Centre

The Red Hand ·

2020/06/25

My next guest is Sammy Arnold. He spoke to me on his birthday which was at the start of lockdown. At the time he was still a Munster player but he has now moved to Connacht. You’ll remember Sammy Arnold because he played for Ulster, having chosen us over Harlequins because he wanted to play at centre for Ireland (which he did by the way). He made his debut for Ulster at the age of 18 and won the Academy player of the year award that season. After moving to Munster, his performances were so good they

My next guest is a former Ulster, Ireland and Northampton Saints player. His career spanned over 15 years, earning over 350 professional appearances. He recently moved to Texas with his family which is where I caught up with him on zoom. You all know who it is. Roger Wilson. Hope you enjoy it. I spoke to him a few weeks into lockdown.

The Red Hand ·

2020/04/14

Great chat with former Ulster and Ireland second-row, Dan Tuohy. The 34-year-old played 136 times for Ulster before joining Bristol in 2016. He sustained the hand injury that ended his career at French club Vannes. Here, he talks about falling in and out of love with rugby and discusses his retirement twitter essay in which he said ‘rugby is now rotten from the core’ and how "the values that made me fall for rugby have nearly disappeared". Great discussion with a great lad. Enjoy!
