What's wrong with Baloucoune???

[rumncoke]

I have said previously I think Stockdale is starving on the wing — I think it is a case of experience and game forces shortness forces Balacoune’s absence and he doesn’t provide variety on the bench .

[Dan Dare]

nice move to see stockcube at FB

[Neill_M]

Bookies have Ulster 11 points favourites for this one.

Surprised to see Baloucoune behind Gilroy and Faddes but I guess he's only been back for one, despite how well he played against Scarlets. Looking forward to Stockcube's lines from FB.

[10 or 15 only]

Looking forward to contest between E O'S and Sinckler.
We'll soon know how far our number 1 has progressed.

Agree Stockdale has been starved of ball for most of WC & 6 nations too. Maybe more responsibility at 15 & opportunity to attack in space will pay off. Obvious concerns are he is prone to brain fart catching errors, & his boot is big but not accurate. If I was quins I’d definitely put up a few bombs. That said it’s an attacking selection. LL on the wing covering itoye is defensively sound.
Balacoune is unlucky but CG has more credit in the bank and faddes offers multi cover.
Quins will have to do demo job up front, don’t think they have it in them. EOS & MM have been very very solid come scrum time. The rest week for several players last week will be a bonus.

I’ll never understand why they don’t have the pints ready at the back line bar!
