FOMO: #16THMAN
The stands are awash with bright yellow and blue,
A few pops of red white and black are there too,
The buzz of the crowd gives way to a roar,
The match has begun; we’re determined to score.
As studs grip the grass we shift in our seats,
Each back weaves past near every player he meets,
Tackles are heavy but the forwards truck in,
Protecting, defending, determined to win.
The pace of the game carries thousands along,
And the hits and the chips and the kicks don’t go wrong,
Thundering legs reach for the line,
Urging them on, we know this is the time.
The bubbling cauldron of Stad Marcel Michelin,
Is the only place for the 16th man,
Fear of missing out is a terrible thing,
Put me on the plane, oh how loudly I’ll sing!
By Basil Haires
THE 16TH MAN
Standing on the terraces
in the hail and the snow.
Come on number eleven,
GO – RUN – GO!
Standing on the terraces
come rain or shine.
Just willing that final try
to get over the touchline.
Standing on the terraces
the crowd goes quiet...
Converted try scored!
The crowd goes WILD!
Standing on the terraces
THE 16th MAN
Ulster Rugby’s greatest fans.
