Cullen making the right noises in the Times imo, I'm pretty excited to see how he gets on with us.

Also add some more names to the Official Random Journalist-Guessed Backs Coach Candidate List:

Some of the talk in the press the last day or so has been interesting. The "Leinster Way" has been mentioned a fair bit.

That's a potential Pro 12 backline. Although I don't think we'll see Adam Byrne remain at 11 long, I guess McFadden is still to return.

We'll almost certainly see Ferg back, and let's not forget Isa. We may even get Kirchner back, but from what I heard of his performance against the Argies that's looking less likely. Certainly the halves and the centres are the Pro12 ones though so hopefully they click sooner rather than later.

We're in for a good ol' fashioned ass-whupping.

I think a lot depends on who we see on the bench. We'll get a bit of a beating but just how much I don't know.

"The Leinster Way" is a painful enough soundbite tbh.

Leo on 'off the ball' kind of chuckled at that as well... and described the 6 - 5 win over quins as probably his most favourite game because it typified the hard slog type game where you do it for your teammates

I don't know who is, but I think Lacey is somewhat over- qualified for this game.

Not so sure about that!

Skys EPG is showing the athletics as being on BBC2 NI tomorrow ?

It's on the Ulster Rugby Periscope tonight. https://www.periscope.tv/

The highlights are on Final Score NI tomorrow (5pm on BBC 1 NI). Though Final Score highlights are usually only about a minute long (it's mostly a football show) and just consist of a guy in the studio talking through a very short clip like "Ulster went 50 points ahead with this try from Craig Gilroy, the man who scores too many tries to be an international winger".

Can you access it from a pc or does it have to be via the app?

There is a website called onperiscope but I've no idea if that has everything on it or what.

Ah there's a tonne of players that could've started... Kelleher, McGrath, Isa, O'Shea, Crosbie, Byrne etc. but there's only 15 starting places...

I'm sure they'll be involved off the bench or atleast next week.

i havent done this, but i believe you can download an android emulator to a windows desktop... and then download the periscope app to this.

But it's live streaming of video from someone else's phone, no?

Sounds like a grim way to watch a game.

Usually yeah... but I think Ulster Rugby may have something a bit more advanced for streaming it.

The best bit is listening to all the conversations. I wonder do the people sitting around him know their conversations are being broadcast to the world?

Is that a Leinster try?

You can turn them off on the phone by clicking on the video, then clicking the three dots beside share broadcast.
