Do you think they’d give Stevens a place solely as a specialised open side? Fine player & I know he’s strong but he is pretty small in the world of back rowers these days - would he even be 5ft10?

Maybe a move to hooker also a possibility?

Surprised no Ellerby, but guessing he needs a year fully fit before anything.

The difference a day makes times 365.
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!

We might need Reid and Sheridan for the QF surely it's a bit of a risk to play them in an A game?
