Ulster have confirmed that Glasgow second row Tim Barker has signed a two-year contract with the club and will be returning ahead of next season.

So not only do we have to contend with fears that we're goning to be used as a development team in Scotland, it now seems we're a development team for the Irish!!

All the best to Tim he's put his heart and sole into his rugby this year and a longer term contract all be it with Ulster is what he deserves. Good luck.

I am very sorry to see Tim go but there may be a positive note to this. Tim isn't qualified to play for Scotland. The SRU may have decided that the only non-qualified Scots will be those of genuine quality as opposed to genuine potential. Let's see who his replacement is.

I am sorry, but in my opinion Tim has proven that he is 'genuine quality' and will be a big loss to the team. Will his replacement be of the same calibre, well we lost sean lamont and got hefin o'hare....need I say any more?

Sorry, by genuine quality, I meant an established internationalist. Tim has had an excellent season.
