That’s not the worst side to visit Belfast.
Worth noting that they’re ten points behind Connacht with five games in hand.

Moore at fullback a bit of a surprise, I assume Lyttle is injured as I expected him there after his performance last time out.
Hope Hendy & Jordi have a stormer.
Enough worries in Cardiffs Backline should be a good watch especially for the neutral!

Two reasonably strong teams, our bench even looks decent, should knock their wine in. 5Pts? Less would be disappointing.
Stu Moore at 15 is a bit of a Hail Mary, his kicking doesn't inspire confidence maybe he'll just run in a few 80-metre tries.

He’s waiting to find out when the team will be announced. Anyone know when it’ll be?

Only, and I cannot stress this strongly enough, ONLY if the program contains the correct starting XV!

Tommy is in Ukraine but he’s not sure who he’s gonna fight yet. I’m sure he’ll find someone.

I believe he ended the rant with happy Xmas and well done Ulster or something else equally pissy.

That's only a few players away from Cardiff's first XV. Their back row is an area of strength, as is their midfield.
Interesting Ulster selection with a decent bench - Dan is clearly trying to manage Vermeulen's minutes in the hope the starting players can do the job. Our back 3 is concerning - Moore out of position and Moxham who has had mostly poor outings so far.
Bookies have Ulster by 13 on the handicap bet which looks a bit generous. I might have a wee traitor's bet on that one.
