It is heart-warming to see young Baloucoune getting a start. I have yet to see him play but he seems very pacy and a fairly big unit from the try videos I have seen. I like Dan's approach. Just hoping Mike gets a go at 10.

The subs bench suggests Lowry will get time at 10. Had wonder if young Sexton might get a go, almost certainly will during AIs, but I too look forward to seeing Baloucoune.

I'd imagine that's French for Balaclava, the garment so beloved of terrorists everywhere?

Baloucoune and Addison.....

When is the last time two men from Enniskillen RFC started for Ulster?

Sexton can't play, school means he is unable to make training surely?

The plan I understand is that he'll next play for the senior team in the friendly against Uruguay.

Sexton at school level must be frightening. Fasted guy in irish rugby.

Good thing he's only playing for Bangor now.

Agree 100%. When I watched the Racing game. although the scoreline looked bad, we actually played pretty well in patches. Most of the young players are getting a chance and Baloucone looks handy enough. My disappointment at seeing the likes of Arnold/Farrell flourish having been let go by us is offset by the number of young players getting, and frequently taking, opportunities this year.

Heard that as well. They don't want games to mess up his A levels so his appearances will be rationed till next season.

Ruining his RWC 2019 chances

Sexton scored 2 tries and charged down a conversion against Campbell on Wednesday for BGS. Unfortunately they still lost think it was 42 40. Though not bad considering they were up at Campbell and it was Aarons first school match.
Wonder if they could get a decent run in the Schools cup this season??
