Re: Ulster vs Saracens
Good to see Reid, Doak and Sexton get starts- all three could establish themselves in the first team. Allison, McCann and Sheridan on the bench hopefully we get a chance, McCann obviously a bit more established but all three could add to our back row stocks over the season and Rea Jr at 7 is a great choice -thought he looked excellent last season when given the chance.

Looking forward to seeing Greg Jones split Billy V in two with a big hit.

Re: Ulster vs Saracens
So basically a full team on the bench to come on in 2nd half....easier to spot who is not involved etc.
The below statement is interesting (from today's email):
"All public bars will be closed, in line with NI Executive COVID-19 restrictions."
Was my understanding the Executive had passed on responsibility to the councils and the individual clubs to decide crowd sizes & facilities etc?

Re: Ulster vs Saracens
Been in bars in England and Scotland in the last few days so getting a bit confused!
Is it because there is still a requirement for table service here??

Re: Ulster vs Saracens
Looking forwad to the match. As always, it will be interesting to see how things are shaping up, with the actual result not of any importnce (although a win would be nice!).
I hope there'll be a bit of atmosphere.

Re: Ulster vs Saracens
I'm looking forward to it too, but can't get excited about the rugby. Just looking forward to seeing how many old familiar faces I see on the terrace or elsewhere in the stadium. Looking forward to a bit of craic again. Hard to believe how long its been.solidarity wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 7:08 pm Looking forwad to the match.

I managed two of the three(???) games when 500 or 1000 or whatever was permitted, but it wasn't the same being spread out around the ground with most of yer mates not even there, let alone near ya.
I'm hoping the rugby might get me interested again ....
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

I'm the same Cap'n. Can't get excited about the Rugby. Combination of dire Lions series, a friendly with likely multiple changes, no new signings and pessimism for this season.Cap'n Grumpy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 7:54 pmI'm looking forward to it too, but can't get excited about the rugby.

More interested in the test cricket right now.
