Best case scenario team:
Sutherland, Herring, Moore, O’Connor, Henderson, Mar Rea, Timoney, Vermuelen, Cooney, Burns, Lyttle, McCloskey, Marshall, McIlroy, Lowry
Subs - Stewart, Warwick, O’Toole, Treadwell, McCann, Doak, Moore, Stockdale
Likely team:
Sutherland, Herring, Moore, O’Connor, Henderson, Mar Rea, Timoney, Vermeulen, Cooney, Burns, Stockdale, McCloskey, Moore, McIlroy, Lowry
Subs - Stewart, O’Sullivan, O’Toole, Carter, Treadwell, Mat Rea, Doak, Moxham
Seems like Ulster are confident either Sutherland will be fit/Warwick will be cleared as Callum Reid is playing for the A team the day before. Can’t see Warwick escaping a ban tbh.
Apparently Hendy and Cooney should be grand, but Marshall and Stockdale are doubts. Think Stockdale will probs be ok, but Marshall probably not, based on Gilroy’s inclusion in the A team. Regardless of Stockdale’s fitness, I would be starting Rob Lyttle, criminally underused player.
If Hendy is back and Marshall is out, think Dan will go with a 6/2 split and start Stockdale and have Doak and Moxham covering the bench. Hopefully we could have 3 of Treadwell/Carter/Jordi/McCann but Matty Rea will probably be one of those.
Hume, Addison, Baloucoune all ruled out apparently -
