## Resource

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.
