Sharks v Ulster Saturday 25th February Noon Viaplay Sports 1 / URC TV / Super Sport

I think Doak is starting and Cooney is finishing because that worked against Sale and the Stormers, and you don't change a winning formula. As a fully paid up member of the "Doak for 10" campaign, I'd be happy to see them both play. Having said that, I think Stewart Moore also has the attributes to play 10, and it might be worth trying him there some time. Not this weekend though, we need him at 12.

From the BBC NI website - Ulster 'have learned from previous South Africa trips‘

of course they have. I have full faith.

From the article

Robert Baloucoune and Sean Reffell remain out and Michael Lowry is rated doubtful.

So BBC saying Lowry is doubtful, Belfast Telegraph saying he is good to go. They also say Sexton is available again, but Lyttle is doubtful.

I wonder what work ons Greg Jones has been knocking out the park?

[CIMANFOREVER]

Ruck inspection and falling over ineffectively tackling from the side?
Exploding onto pop passes like a perished rubber band?

Buthelezi is great number 8. Should be with the Boks

Tshituka is a great athlete also. I can't see us getting much from this with the travel and squad availability. Gilroy and McIlroy on the wings? Moore to full back? Cooney needs to start to give us some level of control.

[Dave]

When are the team flying out? How many stops?

3 changes to their starting team from last week v Lions - Richardson and Tshituka were on the bench last week and Boeta Chamberlain has recovered from the injury he sustained against Union Bordeaux Bègles in their Heineken Champions Cup clash in mid-January.
Chamberlain, his team’s top-scorer (with 66 points) replaces the injured Aphelele Fassi at fullback.

Check your socials Dave. They're there.

[Setanta]

When weill our squad be announced?

[Big-al]

Midday usually.

Hopefully Lowry is fit

[StandUp]

Someone needs to put a massive hit on Kok early on. Put some manners on the little b@stard.
