Agree Snipe. Every time I have seen Rea jnr play for Ulster he has been pretty decent but it seems like he is not rated that highly by the coaches.
Rea snr and Jones are fine for home games against the likes of Dragons and Zebre but not beyond that.

May have changed in regards Rea Jr -he got a lot of gametime in both preseason matches and did pretty well. Hopefully he'll keep kicking on, I think he's a potentially a real gem at 7- smart, fast and pretty tough.Bart S wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 9:51 pmAgree Snipe.

Sadly yes.
Jack Dempsey packs quite a punch from what I've seen of him.UlsterNo9 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 1:48 pm A bit early, however I'm ever so excited.
Looks like Glasgow have been fairly busy in the off season on the transfer front. Notables out include Adam Hastings, Darcy Rae, Leone Nakawara, Huw Jones, and Niko "The Cheat" Matawalu. You add the likes of Hogg and Russell who left previously and it's not great for the league. Notable incoming include Duncan Weir, Jamie Bhatti, Jack Dempsey (Oz, 14 caps) and Sebastián Cancelliere. Not a great return against players leaving.
Glasgow beat Worcester away 22- 27 and lost to Newcastle at home 7 - 12. Not that there is much to read into these.
You would like to hope with home advantage we should win this and comfortably.
I hope we start with young McCann in the back row and persist with him.
Is Henderson injured?SUFTUM_19 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 10:03 am Expect to see a good mix of youth and experience, would go for a team like this: Reid, Herring, Moore, AOC (c), Carter, Reidy, Murphy (if not Rea Jr) Timoney, Cooney, Burns, Stockdale, McCloskey, Hume, Baloucoune, Lowry
Subs - Roberts, O’Sullivan, O’Toole, Kearney, McCann, Doak, Madigan, Addison
He will be "rested" no doubt after all the games he played in South Africa.solidarity wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 8:09 pmIs Henderson injured?SUFTUM_19 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 10:03 am Expect to see a good mix of youth and experience, would go for a team like this: Reid, Herring, Moore, AOC (c), Carter, Reidy, Murphy (if not Rea Jr) Timoney, Cooney, Burns, Stockdale, McCloskey, Hume, Baloucoune, Lowry

We may get Hendo by week 3/4 mid October, we play Connacht in Week 5 (Oct 23) with both unlikely to have Irish internationals as Ireland going to Vegas for a game v USA to fill the bank the week after
