Good to see Oscar Egan back in the mix after a horrific injury. I rated him highly at age grade.

You could argue they were missing a few also. Tom Stewart and Reuban Crothers obvious omits.

Thats a great result- thought they were on for a hiding . I hope there's a match report -it would be good to know who played well etc. Interested to see how Allison and Egan got on. Zac Ward reappearing is interesting.

Quite a few names I would be unfamiliar with truth be told, but great result. Is Conor McKee a scrum half or am I confusing him with someone else, would be interested to know how the forwards all got on, and Hump junior hopefully looked better than he did for the Irish U20s.

Conor McKee is a scrum half. First time playing on the wing I believe.

Match report- https://www.ulsterrugby.com/2021/09/mat ... ent-xv-34/

Doak seems to have been a major factor but it sounds like a really good team performance-
Victory was ultimately deserved by Ulster, who started the game like a team possessed and full of hunger as they pinned Leinster back in their own half and forcing three penalties inside the opening five minutes.
Encouraging stuff although Zac Ward being on as a replacement so early sounds like Allison didn't last too long - hope he's not injured, but very good result overall.
