Team for Dragoons

[justinr73]

For me this looks to much like a Dan selection to be honest

Hume as Capt his showing last time out was a failure the decision making ,was questionable, at best. There is also a problem identifying who is the pack leader . When Ireland had an out side centre as Captain ( BoD) ,PoC was the pack leader, this Ulster team lacks a PoC

McIlroy should never be selected on the wing -- he is not a try scorer ie a winner in that position -- if he must be selected it should be at full back -- a position he played as a schoolboy where his running ,with the ball style , is less defected provided he heads for support.

The bench looks stronger for this match and with Burns at out half i don't expect as many backline errors as against Ospreys

It is a Dan selection.

Although Soper drew the line at including Matty Rea again

McIlroy should never be selected on the wing -- he is not a try scorer . . .

So that's at least one try, hopefully more for McIlroy then!

I think Sheridan has the makings of a great captain if he can make himself a regular starter.

He will start more games now McFarseland has gone.

A reset and a clean slate for anybody in his bad books is one of the plusses

Lads is the sound screwed up for anyone else on this? I can only hear the commentators but no crowd.

[justinr73]

That’s their loan signing that just went off injured.

Hard to get excited about a mismatch

First half:

Scrum porn
Postlethwaite looks class
Lowry is back
Better skills and cohesion
Players less tension
Lineout steals

*I know dragons are shyte

[Dave]

Fading in the second half. Is this team fit enough?

[Dave]

Cutting loose now. We are brill.

The Dragons average less than 2 tries per game and have scored 3 the'night
