Forecast this Friday

Belfast 11c day max, 5c min night

Treviso 6c day max, 1c min night
It's colder than that where I am... I'll look forward to a balmy evening in the shaft then on friday...

Has the strange sub zero area around Ravenhill left along with Logan ?

2 THP on the bench?

Or has TO'T been previously playing "out of position" on the tighthead side?

There are only two fit LHs in the squad. I'd imagine Herbst might be trying his hand but I'm not sure.

Herbst covering, played there for the Sharks apparently. Confirmed on twitter by Adam McKendry.

Started for Banbridge on the weekend, also available were Marcus Rea, and Joe Dunleavy. Supposedly Matthew Rea travelled with the team last week so should be fit.

:thumleft: Correct. The guy on the other wing is a hard running big lump also.

The team is a bit make shift but I feel we have plenty there to beat thon Benetton team. Confident of a win, that's a strong enough team.

Nagle in the back row does seem odd but if his positioning is okay at set piece defence then he brings another good lineout and ball carrying option.

Excited to see more of Jones and what Lowry and Bobby B are capable of against lesser opposition.
