The two sides to Paul Marshall.

Who knocked that on?

Deccy Fitz got battered in that scrum.

I wonder where else Ulster folk are glued to the telly?

Dublin here. Not quite as exotic.

Just a minute, before you feck off and enjoy your afternoon. I want so so badly for Ulster to win, it hurts. No one (except maybe some of the players and their mums) will be happier than me if we stuff the Tigers. The realist in me however sees value in a Leicester win and recognises that they'll h...

Starting to get nervous about this game - think we really need a win. The home loss to Northampton last year screwed us a bit - need to be winning all our home games.

Anyone else Dublin based watching the game down here?

thecrouch: In part, you are right but since Cave broke into the Ulster setup, a large number of alternatives have played in that Ireland 13 top against strong opposition. Most notably, Keith Earls played much of a 6 Nations in it. Cave, to my mind, has question marks about his suitability to intern...

Does anyone know when Afoa is meant to be back?

Really strong pack and really strong backline - it's up to Marshall and PJ to orchestrate things. If the two of them click and have good games then I'm confident - hope they do! Big opportunity for Marshall.

I'm with Baggy side of the great Cave debate. He's rarely been outpaced and never outfoxed at provincial level and is a real leader/decision maker in our defence. He can quite justifiably pi$hed off about his treatment in the Ireland setup. He's probably on first name terms with his tackle pad. Not...

Good strong team that with a pretty strong bench.

Would have liked Henderson to start though.

so williams and ruan take up 2 berths. 2 more to fill and a project? Don't think we'll make 3 NIQ signings - I don't think there are enough positions we'd be allowed to sign players for. If we're allowed to sign another NIQ back I'd be surprised given the plethora of Irish talent we have there. Tig...

Agreed.

In the long term I think Henderson will be the main player in Ireland's second row, and so he'll end up playing there for us a lot more.
