Ulster ‘A’ v Leinster ‘A’ Fri 15th Jan 3pm KO Live on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport NI website

[Neill_M]

Looking forward to a bit of Gusher "comedary"

Indeed.. "Robbo" just doesn't match up..

it's true, but in defence of Robbo he's a bloody enjoyable commentator all the same. Definite master and apprentice but the younger is golden-tongued compared to the one-dimensional scutter offered by a great deal of others and their ditchwater co-comms.

Thanks for the age-grades Neil - lots of exciting players there it'd be good to see. the 3pm start is a dig in the chops but to echo justin maybe the nippers (or the junior streaming team) need to get home before it's too dark.

Bayern posted the Ulster team, he deserves the

Why have Ulster 2 hookers on the bench?

There’s some footage of the lads training for today’s game against the senior players. Rob Lyttle was involved which is good news. McCann was looking lively.

I'm on iplayer but I believe if you go to bbc.co.uk/sportni you should find it.

[for dog and ulcer]

An awful lot of possession being kicked away by Doak. To be fair he is not getting clean ball or protection.

Doak-ball, you mean?

[Cap'n Grumpy]

VERY satisfying thwack of leather on laminated leather.

[for dog and ulcer]

Yes I was fearful of encouraging its return by publicising it.

[justinr73]

Was that an injury at the end of the half then? Bottom corner of the screen. Maybe Rankin. Arm or shoulder.

Entertaining enough stuff overall.

[HammerTime]

Doak needs to be more focused his kicks are poor, some passes are like a bullet and some are slow and loopy. A bit slow at getting the ball away from rucks also. Good to see some big boys in an Ulster pack cutting through Leinstermen for once. And to think they’re nearly all youngsters. Leinster backs living offside yet again ffs choking everything going out side from Ulster.

TBF, it's difficult for someone of his experience to play and referee at the same time.

Sometimes he's concentrating on the former, sometimes the latter.
