FOLK (B2D4)

What the fcuk is he doing with the back row?

Surely, SURELY, it should be 6. Deysel, 7. Henry, 8. Reidy. Y'know, playing players in positions they actually play?

Henry at 6? Why? Reidy at 7? Why?

Henry at 6? Why? Reidy at 7? Why?

Maybe we've switched to South African backrow numbering?

Is his head ok after those knocks? Could be a similar situation to Deccie Fitz?

Reidy is a 7.
Henry used to play a lot at 6.

Personally though I'd go , 6.Deysel 7.Henry 8.Reidy

Probably just to scrummage as left/right flankers. Henry might give better ballast to McCall.

In fairness to Les Kiss - FOLK.

Decides that Tommy can't hack the Scaaaaaaaaaaaalets at 13 so he reunites the fu'cking Pockle Brothers, Big Stu & Luke, who provided an entirely unsatisfactory midfield for the early part of last season, not a bit of guile between them so our "gameplan" if you can call it one, is to bash up the middle and no Marcell to do it properly, no Charless to give a hint of unpredictability behind.

At least there should hopefully be nobody running up to people to say hello and hug them with Saft Rab benched, though doubtless he will be brought on just in time to confirm Ulster have nothing to offer.

A vision came to me last night, in it, Ulster actually fought like King Billy at the Battle of Kilwaughter but they couldn't score in a brothel, Scaaaaaaaaalets, without getting above 3rd gear, deny Ulster the LBP.

May I say loud & proud: FU'CK THE FIRFU AND FU'CK THEIR PLAYER MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME.

One of the key matches of the season and we go into it 6 of our best players short.

I declare the Scaaaaaalets strong favourites, however, That is my opinion, the coach or players have no business in saying the same thing publicly.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter Spanners. Humiliation beckons.

Fixed

[EastTerraceUR]

I'm excited to hopefully see a pack of;
1. Merwe
2. Best
3. Herbst
4. Treadwell
5. Henderson
6. Deysel
7. Henry
8. Coetzee

That pack coached by Gibbes can win things.

We all know the chances of getting all 8 of those on the pitch at once though.

Unless DC still has issues, it's disgraceful he's not even on the bench. I'll houl' my wheesht until it's clear there is no underlying injury issue, then it's FOLK to infinity.

[Dave]

With over a million pounds worth of Marquee signings injured, what do you do with your uninjured Lions?

Don't play them of course. It's a complete motherfcuking JOKE!!!

FCUK THE BAND.

[big mervyn]

"Pockle brothers" Love it Baggy

Useful word that, especially if your Limerick is about a young man from Ahoghill

6-8 is just a different number on your shirt till it comes to scums...

Nope, a friend of a friend tells me he has been good to go since round one when he did get 12 minutes. He's aged 30, is our best 13 & amongst our best 12's but Schmidt doesn't rate him, Kiss works directly under Schmidt and his mate Nucibasterd , so with his contract expiring at the end of the season you can rest assured that Cave is being excluded & left with no option but to find himself a contract elsewhere.

Shameful treatment for a guy who has signed contracts on the first offer because he's never wanted to play anywhere else (source: a friend of a friend) and who, other than 3 wingers (Bowe Trimble & Gilroy), has scored more tries than any other Ulster player in history and god knows how many he's created....... not to mention saved.

I am convinced we will not see Cave again unless there is an injury crisis or Schmidt needs a pile of Ulster centres & Darren gets a few games with the Daves.
