You can get 10-11 on Ulster if you’re happy to give the Scarlets a 15 point start!

Is young Lowry now our first choice fullback?....barring WA injury. Great to see real consistent gametime investment in him. Ditto Stewart Moore. Glad Lyttle back.
Let’s hope This yr is the one where Andrew & McBurney really develop.
It’s bubbling along v nicely.
UR must be a great environment to be in......building hard nosed excellence.....loving the BP clinicalness!!

Another game Ulster should be winning if they're to stake a claim for the title this season.

Looks like a couple of late changes for the match tonight, McCloskey and young Sexton on the bench, in for Moore and Madigan, Faddes to 13 Gilroy at 14.

Hope Sexton gets 30mins - let’s see how far he’s come so far.

Shame to lose Moore but great to see Sexton on the bench and Lowry is covering 10 then as well.

Great if McCluskey is getting game time after number of weeks with Ireland. This is why Faddes was signed , his experience and versatility will allow the backline to function properly. It is good to see the way the need for changes can be absorbed without any real panic. Hopefully Sexton’s pace will be evident to night.

Anyone know the reasons for the changes? Anything to panic about?

Nothing official from Ulster confirming any changes to the team, the alternative team may have been an error etc.

It's a full rewrite of the team as a graphic put out on the official Twitter, I get people can make mistakes but this isn't last week's one being reposted, someone had remade it. Feels more likely a too early release of information than something incorrect.

Apologies, absolutely no idea how it happened but this seems to have been entirely in error
