OK, Adair and Atkinson have me beat, who are they? Great to see the young talent given a go. That leaves another 23 players to have a run out!
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!

Re: Ulster v Exeter 22nd August
Has the man who ruined Ulster's season on 5th April 2014 facked of to Mexico or did I miss him in all the names? Can't be arsed checking back.
One had heard tales of his extra training, short break ...................pity it wasn't his bloody neck, and how he is raring to go. No one said he was raring to go to Mexico, maybe Glaws have put in a late bid.
He has yet to apologise for his gross stupidity, he has so far just wallowed in a bit of self pity. Until I hear the words, "I probably (that means definitely) cost Johann the chance of a glorious ending", Windy is dead to me.
SKY covering this game is good news mind you................. if they actually were .........sorry, just teasing.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Re: Ulster v Exeter 22nd August
Not that surprised at the mix and the number of forwards included .
Firstly we have lost two of our primary fronts rows
Secondly possibly two of our primary second rows may be missing on Ireland duty and likewise possibly three primary back rows one player Ian Henderson being considered as both a second row and back row option with Diack as the third back row who may be called up if others were to be injured
Therefore there are a number of forward places up for grabs .
The back line is again make piece due to the resting of Internationals and injury recoveries and nothing like the back line which might take the field next week or be on the bench .

This is why I am always in Spain for the friendlies, barely worth bothering about.

Re: Ulster v Exeter 22nd August
Ok thats there positions which is fine and danny but Age ? CLub ? Previous form such as representative rugby schoolboy ? U19s U20s ? height and weight?
from the above one might assess if they are contenders for either the squad or the academy or are the coaches just trying to assess progress in their development ?
Are we going to see the next big hope to hype and ruin by over expectation ?
To read some of the schoolboy assessments of their peers you sometimes wonder where all the guys they think are wonderful disappear to one fears it is into the brown vapour of the schoolboy opinion .

Atkinson is 20,played for Instonians last year and is about 6ft1 and 95kg (just a rough guess). Played Ulster u20.

Just hope that someone half as good as Olding or Hendo pops his head up this season. I am hoping Big Licence makes further strides this season, I love a good prop me.

Haven't got my head round all the nicknames yet. Who's Big Licence and where does the name come from?
Obviously haven't got my head round how to quote either
