Do you not mean LH if you are referring to Court etc.? The one game I saw him playing for the Brumbies he was playing at LH but I distinctly remember the commentators mentioning he could play both sides, but he favoured LH. Besides, is PaddyMac not swapping sides? If so that leaves us short at LH.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Ffs, Paddy Mac will NOT move sides, and if he does it is ridiculous. We have three young THPs coming through, and Lutton. If he moves over, we have 5 THPs presuming Fitz leaves, and only two LHPs. Plus with Court getting old, MacAllister could be first choice LhP for Ulster and Ireland within a couple of years!

This is an interesting one, does anyone know the definitive answer? From memory, I remember watching the Ireland U20s (Henderson was playing second row) beat France, away (in Grenoble I think) and the Irish scrum was being absolutely caned until the THP was subbed, with McCall switching to tighthead, and the Irish scrum immediately solidified, in fact IIRC it was dominant for the last quarter or so. I'm pretty sure I've also seen him pack down at 3 for the Ravens a couple of times? But I have no idea where he plays most regularly in the AIL etc?

He is seen by Ulster as a LHP who can also play THP if required but his specialist position will be loose head.
