This week, we’re joined by legendary rugby commentator Mark Robson for a deep dive into Ulster Rugby’s season, the evolution under Richie Murphy, and whether this side can finally deliver silverware.

From the dramatic Stormers finish and the Nathan Doak controversy to Ulster’s new attacking identity, Jude Postlewaite's potential, Jack Murphy’s development, and the challenge of balancing Europe with a huge URC run-in, this is a proper rugby conversation with one of the game’s most recognisable voices.

We also get into Mark’s broadcasting career, frustrations with TMO and TV directors, why Ulster are simply more enjoyable to watch again, and what success this season could mean for the province moving forward.

On this episode we discuss the Stormers clash, with Angus Bell returning, squad depth being tested, and predictions for another huge night at Ravenhill.

This week, we sit down with the CEO of Ulster Rugby, Hugh McCaughey, for a deep dive into the province's future.From long-term squad development and building depth across every position to the realities of ticket pricing and competing in the URC, this is a rare look at how the club is run behind the scenes.We also get into the CEO’s appointment, how the role evolved from interim to permanent, and the long-term vision — with plans that could take 4–5 years to fully embed.If Ulster are to return to the top end of the game, this is where it starts.

The brand new Stand Up: Ulster Rugby Show launches today.

I’m hosting it alongside Gareth Steenson, and for episode one we’re joined by Ulster legend Alan O'Connor.

We get stuck into Ulster’s young side and their brave defeat to Munster Rugby, hear the opposition view from Munster man and journalist Pat McCarry, and look ahead to a season-defining semi-final against Exeter Chiefs this Saturday.

We also catch up with Al on what he’s up to now.

If you’re into Ulster rugby, this is for you.

New episode of the Red Hand Pod: Sorry for the delay on this one but better late than never!

Ulster beaten 26–19 at home to Connacht… not exactly what anyone had planned for a night at Ravenhill.

Dan is joined by Fergus and Nathan to chat through it all. Where it got away from Ulster, the moments that swung it, and the bits that probably had everyone in the stands scratching their heads. There’s a bit of frustration, a bit of perspective, and the usual honest chat on where things are at.

Ulster show true grit on a snowy night at Ravenhill.

On this week’s Red Hand Podcast, Peter Lockhart is joined by Fergus, Cal, Bill and debutant Issy to break down a dominant interpro win over Munster, delivered with real true grit in testing conditions.

We discuss the performance, the atmosphere around Ravenhill, standout players, Ulster’s improving attack and defence, and whether this team is finally clicking. There’s also listener questions, a look ahead to the Cheetahs and Stade Français, and a wider chat about what success looks like for Ulster this season.
