Yep. And Wilson at 8. Said that at the bottom of two of my too long posts!
Don't think he will though.
yes, I've come round to that way of thinking. Hendo can cover lock from 6. The advantages are:
1. He's a dynamic ball-carrier who compliments henry and wilson well.
2. He's a lineout option and will help secure set-piece ball
4. It's means Ferris and Williams can both can be on a 5/3 split bench for maximum impact.
The disadvantages are
1. He hasn't played a huge amount of rugby at 6
2. He's young and prone to giving away the odd penalty
3. We have no fresh legs from the bench for the engine room
You could compile a similar list for each of the options at 6. it's not clear cut with advantages and disadvantages with each. At home, in the HEC, I think Henderson can keep a lid on his enthusiasm and provide the required performance.
Why not a 6/2 split on the bench as we need the power up front ?
Which 3 backs would you even put on the bench ?

From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!
Front row picks itself
Muller and touy
Diack, Henry and Wilson
Back line picks itself
This is going to be tight. Saracens have all the form. I see this as a dead even game. I think we will have the edge in the scrum they will have the edge in the lineout. We need to pray, do a rain dance or sell our souls.
Muller and Henderson, Ferris, Wilson and Henry. Tuohy, Williams and Diack on the bench 6:2. Might even put Heaney, McCloskey but that's a long shot.

“We have never seen anything like it,” said Federico Bertilotti, of Saracens Supporters Services. “What do you call 2,500 Saracens supporters gathered in the same place? A crowd. What do you call 2,500 Saracens supporters all heading in the same direction, to Belfast, with one shared goal? An army!”
mmmm really
