Edinburgh v Ulster Fri 4th Nov 7:35pm BBC ALBA/BBC2NI

[Neill_M]

Both sides coming off the back of home defeats last week. Ulster were v poor v Munster, but losing to Zebre at home is not great to say the least. The Library will have its usual non-atmosphere. Tricky to speculate on the Ulster team, until we see the casualty list and see who is actually fit and available.....

Referee: Andrew Brace (IRFU, 15th competition game)
Assistant Referees: Dudley Phillips (IRFU), Lloyd Linton (SRU)
Citing Commissioner: John Kirk (SRU)
TMO: Gareth Simmonds (WRU)

Deadly and the man who got the Shingler Brothers mixed up last week as ARs.....

[Jackie Brown]

Lloyd Linton, the third Changalang?

I see the Gunners are making a fair attempt at re-building Ravenhill at Myrside!!!

Paddy Jackson will not be available for Ulster this weekend against Edinburgh due to IRFU player management according to Les Kiss

Hopefully we have Luke then since no mention of him.

[The Boo Radleys]

We're doomed...

More game time for Herron, could be a painful process at times, but it will speed up his development.

Black, Herring, Herbst, Tuohy, VDM, Diack, Reidy, Wilson
Pienaar, Herron, Lyttle, Marshall, Piutau, Stockdale, Bowe

Missing Paddy, Cavey, Big Stu, Olding, Lou, Giley, AAt, Girrid

We are just so lucky we have small Paul who can play anywhere in the backline

[Wee Woman]

We need to win this.

I'm worried.

[Dharper]

Stockdale has a broken finger I think? Might have to end up playing Windsor at 12, Luke 13, bowe and little on the wings with CP 15. The AI break can't come quick enough.

I'm not too concerned if we start to drop in the league, I think we'll go on a big run post Xmas if the injuries ease up, and qualify top 4. I actually think for UR to move forward mentally we need to win an away semi, as opposed to finish top 2 for a home game. Sets out wrong mindset of we can win at home but not away....a championship team can win home or away.

Wilson is injured according to BBC.

Diack Ross Reidy

[Eggs]

Surely Ross has done enough to start on merit over Diack/Roger??
