Will be good to see how Vakh gets on

He's a strong scrummager and good carrier.


Whether he gets around the pitch is another question - will be interested to see him in this regard tonight.

I haventseen him start yet, maybe he has but most times he has got 10 mins at end of game

Will be good to see what he can do from start

Porter's down to start and Bent was on bench so he'll be benching tonight.

I've seen him play loads and there's definitey nothing on the interenet to say otherwise - Michael Bent has never been injured.

His interplay with Porter could be a sight to behold.

You guys do know Vakh is on the bench not starting yeah

Clegg

Larmour, Ringrose, Toner and Conan all injured on international duty -_-

Starting to get a bit hairy for Ulster. Hopefully they recover before that.

Well, we know Toner won't.

Ringrose was close to making this and will be fine for Ulster. Larmour injured his finger. Even if it was broken, he should be available for Ulster.

I don't know what the story is with Conan. He has had a few niggles at this stage and missed several important games this season.

Do we know that Toner won't? I remember them saying that it was going to be very tight but I didn't realise he was ruled out.

I think it was reported as an 8 weeker.

It would be extremely touch and go for the quarters

He's not officially but one of the recent press conferences Fogarty/Easterby or whoever said they're hoping to have him back for the final matches of the season. I would imagine the end of March is highly unlikely.

?

Select Daly, O'Loughlin, Fardy and Deegan.

Like, what's the problem?

Personally, I'd have Daly ahead of Larmour on the right wing. Fardy is a capable replacement for Toner, and Deegan is exceptional. Ringrose would be a loss alright.

Saw Toner yesterday in The Fumbally Cafe. Looked in good heath.



Looked a bit incongruous in such a hipsterish joint.

stephen.scrum

very easy for Reid.

good start from Kelleher.

Clegg

Kings have clearly never watched video of Reid.

P.Walnuts

Jesus the Kings LH is tiny for a pro level prop

Clegg

Ferg was done badly there.

stephen.scrum

Ferg...

mangobob

Commentators curse.

stephen.scrum

7-12. to the kings.

stephen.scrum

good tactical kicking from Byrne.

mangobob

Toland just said the outcome is not in doubt. Now we're fupped.

Clegg

That should be a yellow for Kings imo. Professional fouls stopping a surefire try.

stephen.scrum

Conor O'Brien really looking a class apart.

Nice offload from Kelleher to Ed Byrne for that try.

14-12.

dregin

Could someone pm a way to watch...

Clegg

Deegan is showing up very well tonight.

Heymans

Conor O Brien is looking really really comfortable out there. Potential superstar. Byrne pulling the strings nicely. He's really learned how to pin a team back and punish them with kicks in behind. Kelleher going well

Clegg

Daly looks shagged.

Clegg

That Kelleher down on his knees?

accensi0n

Osullivan seems really like redden the way he moves around and passes.
