I've reverted the vandalism that removed the flag icon from the infobox. But would it be more appropriate to use the
instead? It is used instead of the tricolour at away matches, and is flown beside the tricolour at home matches.

But the point is, ulster is a cross border province, the team represents the 9 counties, so using the non-official NI flag would also be incorrect. It should be the yellow flag of the province seeing as its provincial.-- 89.242.110.44 ( talk) 17:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
A discussion was held at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby union as what symbol should be used to represent Irish rugby union (see also Ireland national rugby union team talk page.
The upshot of the vote was that a
Shamrock should be used. I shall be replacing any other flags with this [[Image:Irish clover.jpg |{{{1|20}}}px]]

I find the use of 'drastically' here rather odd: 'Ulster rugby has developed and progressed drastically over the past decade'. How can something progress 'drastically'? Surely that is akin to saying that it progressed 'fearfully' or 'scarily' or 'violently' even. Perhaps 'phenomenonally' might be better here. As for flags, neither the Tricolour nor the Union Jack should appear in the article as the team represents territory in two states and especially not the old Six Counties flag. The team represents the entire province of Ulster and not just the partitioned Six Counties. An Muimhneach Machnamhach 12:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
As for flags, I believe there are two possible solutions: a) display both the Tricolour and the Union Jack together, as the team represents territory in both the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom b) display the Flag of Ulster, as this is the only flag that represents the province as a whole. The Ulster Banner, in spite of its name does not represent Ulster but only Northern Ireland. An Muimhneach Machnamhach 12:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Image:Ulster rugby badge.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hello,
In Huw Richards, A Game for Hooligans, Edinburg, Mainstream Publishing, 2006 (ISBN 978-1-84596-255-5, [1]), p. 45, the author states that "the first inter-provincial club clash, between Belfast's North of Ireland Football Club (NIFC) - born to a cricketing parent in 1868 - and Dublin University in 1874 was followed by Ulster vs. Leinster a year later and the debut of Munster in 1877."
I see that this contradicts Peter 1999, but what do you think about that? Shouldn't it be mentioned?
