It should happen anyway, even as a benefit friendly. Fill the place and FIRFU

Depends on how Clermont approach the game re their team selection. They are struggling in Top 14, only 11th and 4 points above Montpellier who are 13th in the relegation playoff.

Cheetahs I assume will take it seriously, if they want to justify possible reentry to URC etc. Love to have them back. Should never have been dumped. Clermont- who knows- you would expect Bouclier to take priority given their position. Ditto Monpellier

That would be a great occasion.

Fill the stadium for one of the best players to ever pull on an Ulster shirt.

If by the Bouclier, you mean staying in the league Yes, both are miles off making the Top 6.

Few heavy hitters in the pack. George Bridge the ex All black?

I make that 2 starters from the game v Stade Francais last week, the hooker and Willemse the lock. Apparently 5 regular starters in the XV according to those on Twitter who know more about their squad.

10 of the Clermont starting XV v Pau at home (last home game) are starting v Cheetahs.

A poor man's Paul Steinmetz...

Montpellier picking a weakened team, would be interesting to see what the bookies make of the selections.
