I wonder every time I read "let's have Lowry at 10 " what those who seek to see him play 10 expect him to do .

If it is magical breaks every time he gets the ball -- Gaps don't happen very often in pro rugby and when they do -- the person making the break gets isolated about 70 % of the time .

Thus the ideal "10 " is basically a player with a delicate boot ( dropping the ball within 3 metres of his target whether short or long -- and finds touch when necessary ) a sound reader of the game with vision to see opportunities -- and possesses a consistent strong pass .

Speed and an eye for a break is really not a high priority -- a bonus but not essential.

Apparently Jacob is having an MRI on his ankle, not the one that kept him out last year. Fingers crossed.

Squad update:

Stockdale injured his right ankle - it's not a recurrence of the injury to his left ankle that kept him out for most of last season. Herring was concussed in the first half on Friday night and is going through the protocols.

Addison ready to play come November.

He was interviewed pitch side before kick off, went out over the PA system. He was more specific as to when in November he would be back playing but I couldn't make him out. Anyone else confirm?

Yes. He specifically mentioned Zebre in his BBC interview.

So what kind of a backline are we able to put out next week? From last nights substitutions we could be without burns, madigan and McCloskey. Could we see flannery and doak given a chance to continue their partnership in SA? Baloucoune should come straight in, is Hume travelling?
It could make sense to play quite a few of the youngsters who have had 2 weeks acclimatising at altitude in the 23 and are able to hit the ground running this week.

Will be interesting to see how we manage the next two fixtures, first stop the Lions on the Highveld followed by Sharks back down at sea level in Durban. Would be tempted to forgo the first game and go full metal jacket in the second. Valid point the lads already out there have been in Bloemfontein, which will put them in good stead for going to Jo'burg, another 350m odd higher up.

The lions could be our better chance of victory as to me they are the weakest of the 4 SA sides. The sharks will likely have reintroduced their springboks and add their performance against leinster means it will be a very tough game. 2 wins out the next three will be a good return although by the time munster play us they could be in desperation territory.

Need a strong side for Lions for the win and aim for a couple of bonus points vs sharks.

The Munster game in 3 weeks time is the most important for me. It’s a 10pointer (for Europe qualification). Ulster need to be selecting their best available side for that match and go for the juggler. Ulster lost both Munster league fixtures last season, and they can’t let it happen again.

Cooney Flannery
Moore Marshall
Lyttle Lowry Baloucoune

Something like that? Having said that hopefully subs were just precautionary.

That’s a cracking attacking back line but might be a little light weight for those big saffers.
