la mecque 83 did get into the swing of things with a few thoughts on Ulster though:

On your current team:
even having lost a few very good players - Afoa to Gloucester, Court to London Irish, Ruan Pienaar injured and Ferris to forced retirement - you will definitely be very difficult to play against at home - or you are almost unbeatable.

Ulster players I would like to have in my team -
Rory Best
Jackson
And Tommy Bowe

On Toulon - Honestly , no, we do think we will win; winning away would be a feat. I would take a Defensive Bonus (LBP) - that would be nice.
given the way the game played out this is perhaps a little surprising - however it's nice to see how the team / stadium is thought of by a fan of probably the strongest team around. ah well.

I don't think I'll do one for Dragons as I've a bit of an impossible few weeks coming up; next one is likely to be Ospreys in a few weeks time. :red: :fleg:
Ah don't worry Loki, there's been plenty of 'entertainment' from other avenues this weekend anyway.

Ospreys will be interesting... Hopefully they'll be nicer than that horrible Cardiff lot :stir:
