  • True Grit
    Jan 7 2026

    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.
