Zebre v Ulster

[Deckard]

Is anyone else absolutely over the moon that theres two matches on? I'm buzzing and I have to get up at 4am on Monday morning to watch the Ulster match!

wow are you really?? That's kind of like something I would do, and I count myself a strange obsessive!! Thanks, I can now tell my missus that there are others like me

and happy viewing..

[Gael]

Hey it's gotta be done! Better than watching all these forward passes and missed tackles here in the land of the long white cloud!

[KingLuba]

Only two matches?!

My plan of attack this w'end (if wife and kids don't get in the way) is Wales v Samoa tonight, try and sneak a look at the scots game, obviously watch 'Ulster' v Fiji then the highlights of the England match on bbc3, then hopefully Ulster's reserves v Zebre on the iplayer some time on Sunday evening!

Never quite works out that way but I get close

[Kofi Annan]

Ran into a few Quinns boys tonight after training they reckon Lutton, Annett and Darcy have been released for AIL rugby.

Darcy at 10 this weekend for Quins.

Feck Ballynahinch will be miffed at that

[rocky]

Has D'Arcy moved from the Hinch to Quins?

[AyeYerMa]

Earwig oh!


(15-9): R Andrew; M Allen, J Payne, P Wallace, C Cochrane; N O’Connor, M Heaney;

(1-8): C Black, N Brady (capt), J Afoa, R Diack, N McComb, N Williams, M McComish, R Wilson;

Replacements (16-23): R Herring, T Court, D Fitzpatrick, J Simpson, A Birch, B McIlroy, S Olding, P Nelson.

[SparkyClarky]

Team more or less would pick itself given our resources.
Best of luck to Andrew at fullback, was the only thing I personally would have changed!
Suftum

Zebre will be missing at least 5 players as they are in the Italian team + bench v the All Blacks. Venditti (wing), Orquera (10), Giazzon (LHP), Geldenhuys (SR) and Bergamasco (BR).

So what has Adam D'Arcy done or not done? I really thought he would fit in well with the new style of play - have we forgotten his contribution in the HEC last year at home to Clermont?

[Big-al]

Andrews getting a 2nd chance to redeem himself. Fair play to Anscombe, pretty sure he'lo put Nelson on if Ricky is disappointing.

He has been both injured and sick hence he has missed chances to start.

Please forgive me if this has already been covered in this thread, but I haven't had the time to read through them all. I know the game is reported as being on the red button on Sunday, but for those who may not be able to access it but do have internet access here is a link which might work.

It's worth a try (no pun intended) and it is free.

[ColinM]

And is therefore not fit
