It came after Ulster crashed to a heavy defeat to Clermont in the Challenge Cup
Stephen Ferris has defended a tweet he posted in the aftermath of Ulster's heavy defeat to Clermont after coming under fire from current star Stuart McCloskey.
He claimed Ferris was being childish with the tweet, and stated on X: "This is honestly something a 12 year old would do @StephenFerris6, helps absolutely no one." Ferris replied to McCloskey's tweet on Sunday, saying: "My tweet was to start a trivial debate between 2 teams that lost a quarter final, but 10 years apart. Fans have favourite players from the past & present, who you are one of. Your reply has turned this thread into something it was never supposed to be."One fan said on X: "Very valid point Stu. Both teams have had their moments but at the end of the day neither team has won anything which hurts the most.
