Gilly will probably start on bench after his holiday. Louis rarely lasts the 80 what with sticking his head in places where it doesn't belong.

Wild horses wouldn't drag the Prince off the park on Saturday.

I didn't realise William and Kate were such big fans.

Not a huge surprise they are playing the 2s after last week.

Will Ulster be good enough to get the 5 points to keep Edinburgh honest minus Deysel, Cooney and Piutau?

Family reasons stated.

Piutau has been a waste of a shirt for the past few games. Just how he kept his place in the starting 1V is beyond my ken.
He takes a pass, stops, feigns a pass, does his hitch kick, then runs into two tacklers. Every time.
Defences are no longer afraid of him as he’s dialling it in and marking time.
Shananananah worries me. He’s always looked like a a Thompson’s gazelle caught in the spotlights from one of Wiehahn’s night time safaris. He’s ok coming of the bench, but starting a must win game, away to the Munters might be really dodgy .

Munster side is a disgrace.

Great to see Cave being rewarded yet again for daring to be a 13 ...

All part of a cunning plan to lose on the Turnip Patch then we get the home playoff which is more funds on the gate

It's the 1872 cup decider. By no means a dead rubber.

Indeed, derby game and a trophy to play for. Edinburgh could finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the conference. A Scarlets BP win and a lack of an Ulster BP win will see them locked in 3rd place pre kick off.

Can't see us getting near a BP win.

Agreed but will probably still win. However nobody in Ulster can say that we Munster folk did not give ye every chance.
