Should be strong enough for slaughter, I would like to see some indication of getting back to some sort of form mind you, the last 2 or 3 have been modest in terms of performance irrespective of OK results.

Maybe trying to get Hendy game time before they break him the following week against the Englanders?

Ed Zachary. Oh and welcome back Baggy!
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Undoubtedly but why keep Tredders? I mean there is no way he will feature against the Lionels, must be needed for some XXXL tackle begs.

It's a selfish system. It always suits the Oirish team rather than the player or provinces. The player in this case, gets 10 mins off the bench. Sits out the game with his province, then doesn't get a sniff in the big fixture.

Look, maybe that's what is required. Semi final glory now beckons with Andeh Farrell getting his 'I'm better than Joe' statue in central D4.

You could potentially make the same point about Ryan Baird, I wonder if they just wanted two sets of a front five for some live scrum practise and/or line out work.

I suspect they will have kept him due to (a) uncertainty as to whether Hendy will get broken playing for Ulster, (b) uncertainty as to whether Baird was going to get cited for his allegedly high tackle and (c) uncertainty as to James Ryan's recovery following the injury that kept him out of the Italy game. Treadwell could be required for the bench if more than one of those problems materialize.

On paper we should be much too strong for Cardiff at home but they have had some good results this year, including beating Leinster so we need a good performance to be sure of putting them away. They have a decent mid field for us to be wary of. They will be missing a few to Wales international duties including Josh Adams who is one of their better players.

Don't think we've had Hollie Davidson on the whistle before.

Welsh but learned to play rugby in NZ. Therefore, decent.

I expect nothing less than a BP win.

I've seen her on the box a couple of times and thought she was better than most. Clear decision making well explained but we'll have to wait until we get home to watch the recording before we can appreciate that.
