its some embarrassment of backline riches that you could very well have a 1 st choice 23 that didnt contain Gilroy, Marhsall or Olding

The way Bowe has been performing in the past season he could be in that list instead of Gilroy

Super backline. Surprised to see Callum Black on the bench. Good looking team for home game.

would say theyre missing FVDM and a kicker but Treviso at home theyll be grand, McCloskey scores anything less than a hat trick in a man of the match performance and its a let down

[Ruckedtobits]

He will have competition from Gilroy and Trims if previous games against Treviso are anything to go by.

Gilroy scored one scintilating try, rest all mauls

Reidy went pretty well at 7 but they need to magic a 6 and 8 from somewhere

Gilroy scored try of the season so far

He does that 2 or 3 times a year

with Payne out for a few weeks McCloskey definitely gets an even longer run in the team

[simonokeeffe]

Cant see them doing this with no kicker/real outhalf and Edinburgh's backrow

This is a game for the Coach to win. Ulster should get enough ball to give rhat backline a chance. They'll be disappointed if they don't do the business this rime

They will need to be a lot better than the last time they played, we don't have a proper place kicker except one on the bench who has yet to play this season

Luke Marshall out for 6 weeks, some players get all the bad luck

Olding on the mend but no timeframe yet

When does Les Kiss start?

Olding on the mend but no timeframe yet

When does Les Kiss start?

Contract starts at the start of November.
Payne out to January, Olding probably back January as well, Bowe not known yet but if ligaments could be very bad.

Cheers, If Bowe was out for less than 5 or 6 months I'd be amazed

Still, Ludik Trimble Cave McCloskey Gilroy not too shabby a 3/4 line, Jackson back in a week or two too

There is also the chance that small Paul will miss the outhalf and send the ball straight to him, by accident more than plan though !

still works
