Is it not a Wolfhounds side that is playing Fiji?
I suspect that Henry, Cave, Touhy, Trimble will all be involved in the senior 23.

Paddy Wallace needs to be at 10 with Luke Marshall at 12, when the time comes.

Also is this the first time that Ulster have the largest representation of players in the Ireland squad?

Largest number in squad and smallest number in team probably.

Wouldnt think they would take it that lightly Snipe. It will be a strong Fiji side we play, bit too much of a test for the Wolfhounds.

There were two 'Ireland XV' matches last season

v Connacht - Cronin, Cullen, Boss, P Wallace, Cave, McFadden, G Murphy, Leamy all started and Henry, Murray and Ryan were on the bench

and

v Barbarians - Earls, Cave, Wallace, O'Gara, Murray, Touhy and Henry all started with DOC, Trimble and Rory on the bench.

I would take a guess and say we will see the same again, a few younger guys in the mix with some older heads dotted around as well.

I don't expect to many central contracts to handed out before next September thus many are there to hold tackle bags and put through the attitude test, with 14 there I expect at least 6-7 to be on the train home thursday afternoon at the latest.

The team against Baa Baas had no Leinster players as far as I remember as they were playing in PRO12 final

No, he is sabotaging us of course. The aim of this evil is too try to open up the Rabo by completely screwing with our preparations for the Embra game. Doc Dave may have to get the boots out to make up numbers for any significant preparation.

Hope you are happy now that your gurning & bitching has resulted in emptying our squad. I know Deccie reads this forum, he told me himself.

If so, feck.
In theory no, its a heinous offence to sidestep the fullback, ooooooooooops sorry, the word censor, however in the normal course of things moderators overlook - fook, fack, fock, feckers, fecknut and many other variants.

Welcome to the world of nearly fecking sweary words, you ould focker. Just remember never to say ># , completely frowned upon.

Not strictly true as you can type feck and it is not changed.
Probably due the fact that a drunken priest is a moderator and along with drink and women the word is pretty high up his vocabulary list.

No, in the sad absence of Cables, I don't have exact details but in the good old days before subs were allowed our magnificent province to provide 8 of the 15 more than once.

I believe Fecum is therefore in Gaelic although I wouldn't bet on it and Faugh a Ballagh, which definitely sounds like something else means clear the way (approx.!) plus at least half a dozen other pronunciations that could be misconstrued; that leaves feck as part of the Irish conversation. ;)
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

We had some pretty impressive numbers back about 2002-ish....
