Because we've gone into the middle of the AIs match undercooked in the past especially against the welsh teams who come in off the LV and we anticipate that Alan Solomans has spent the break working Edinburgh so that it won't be the usual "gunners" dross?
Exactly, I have always thought the provinces should play a couple of friendlies with each other during this time to keep all fresh

A bit disruptive for the Ravens though - maybe they should have a Ravens' A fixture ...

As an aside,

the Leinster A vs Munter A game for tomorrow night has been postponed.

I am posting it here, as nobody else will give a feck.

Connacht Team news, expect a strong Ulster All Stars Team probably announced on Monday:
While the Autumn Internationals have taken centre stage these past few weeks, the Connacht Eagles have been busy preparing for tomorrow’s trip to Belfast to face the Ulster Ravens at Deramore Park – home of the Belfast Harlequins – at 6pm.

Head Coach Nigel Carolan has named a strong matchday squad made up of Senior and Academy players.

Most notably, Galway-man Eoin Griffin makes a welcome return from injury and is paired in the centre with fellow returnee Dave McSharry.

Academy out half Jack Carty will once again captain the side and makes up the half back pairing with the experienced Frank Murphy.

Up front, Ronan Loughney is named at loosehead prop while Nathan White starts at tighthead. Aly Muldowney will play at blindside flanker – a position he covered two weeks ago against Glasgow Warriors – and is joined in the back row by Mata Fifita and recent Academy recruit Eoghan Masterson
Connacht Eagles:

15 Darragh Leader
14 Fionn Carr
13 Eoin Griffin
12 Dave McSharry
11 Tiernan O’Halloran
10 Jack Carty (Capt.)
9 Frank Murphy
1 Ronan Loughney
2 Dave Heffernan
3 Nathan White
4 Dave Nolan
5 Mick Kearney
6 Aly Muldowney
7 Eoghan Masterson
8 Mata Fifita

Replacements (from):

16 James Rael
17 Denis Buckley
18 JP Cooney
19 Danny Qualter
20 Paul O’Donohoe
21 Conor Finn
22 Shane Layden

I see the Ulster website is very good if you missed the first view of the Ravenhill Development but not if you want News :roll:

Expecting a very strong Ulster Team to line out :fleg:
