Interesting that Reidy is neither in the match day squad nor unavailable. Gone already? Hope not.Neill_M wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 1:01 pm Ulster team to play Munster Rugby, United Rugby Championship Round 10, Saturday 8 January at Thomond Park, 7.35pm kick-off, live on RTÉ and Premier Sports:

Moxham at outside centre for first start of the season? Shirley the munters will target that all night.
Re: Munster v Ulster Sat Jan 8th 7:35pm KO RTE/Premier Sports
Is Reidy leaving or retiring? Seems odd as he's been excellent any timeless played but has been largely absent for the squad this season.StandUp wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 1:26 pmInteresting that Reidy is neither in the match day squad nor unavailable.

Moxham at 13? Wonder how that will go, Curtis at 12 with Hume at 13 would be more dynamic but the young lads need a chance. Great to see Jack starting but we need a good few of those lads back that are unavailable.

Saffer free Munster team and the lesser spotted Zebo gets a game.
We can win this for sure, although POM seems to bring the best out of them.

Reidy's lack of involvement has been one of the few negatives for me this season, I'll be sorry to see him go if he's off as KOTH and others suggest.
EOS definitely stalling at the moment after a fairly rapid rise - hopefully just plateau'd a bit, I still feel there's a very good player in him. Interested to see how Moxham goes...I'm a bit skeptical of that selection, but at the same time I don't quite think Curtis cuts the mustard at this level post injuries, so fair play to DMcF and the rest for trying something different.
Fairly even line up in parts, hopefully we go at it with the same mindset as we took to the RDS rather than that which we brought to the Aviva.

Just really glad to see this match go ahead.
Maybe preferred to see Marcus Rea to start and Angus Curtis at 12 Hume at OC.
Munster were a hard watch against Connacht but with the flak they have taken by supporters & pundits alike we need to get of to a great start.
Hoping for another memorable away win of the season!
Hoping being the word!

Anyone know the lowdown on Sean Reidy ? He is not mentioned in the available or the unavailable.
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!

If McGrath struggles in the scrum again we can bring on Warwick with confidence that we will at least stop going backwards.
