Meh - a lot of the academy would be a bit full of themselves anyway - would do no harm for them to see just how far they have to go before having "made it" when they still have time to do something about it before being cut loose.

Why would (A) Ulster do that and (B) Why would U20s let him go when there is at least two fit 10s available to Ulster (C) McPhillips is a great prospect but have you actually watched him play .

Calm down bigman The provinces have the right to take players from the 20s for games, i.e. Stockdale last week. No one is sure who will be available for Friday - Jackson probably in Paris, Hump and Olding HIA, leaves The Duke and Ruan who prefers to play 9. No - I have not seen him play, is he any good?
McPhillips is a bit on the light side and it would not do him good to throw him in so early. He may actually be dropped for the Irish 20's based on the Wales performance.
Said it before, there is a big difference in putting in Stockdale on the wing (6'3" built like a tank, got a season of irish 20's last year) who still has a lot to learn and putting in a lad playing at 10 who has way more decisions to make.

Nothing to be calm about, why not play Kyle McCall at 10? again have you seen McPhilips play ? your assumption he is good enough to play PRO12 is based on what?
I think Ulster Rugby are getting the management of McPhilips right so why mess it up, Kiss you are not.
IHump to start with Windsor on the bench covering 10 and 12. Olding RTPP applies.

Marshall and Pienaar may well be our only viable option for this one. I really don't like it, but it may be our least worst option.
I don't agree that p at 9 and Ruan at 10 is a viable option. Ryan should never play 10. Play iHumph, Luke Marshall, even Barbara or McCoooooommmassshhh at 10 before Ruan.

What is this deception you speak of Rocky .... sure haven't we had to endure months neah years of being helped by the Messiah of the internet that it's just a number on your back ... can he not play 6 also ... ????
You're absolutely right BTW, to have a chance he must play 9.
Always ask yourself, "What would Big Rodney do"... And every time the answer is... "Eat It"

Would be harsh on Reidy who has played really well of late but suppose Henry needs gametime. Can Reidy play 10?

I think Diack, Browne, Olding are all on the protocol. At least they all looked fine when the match finished. Not sure about iHumph but he's also doubtful, apparently.
