I would have liked Annett to start as well, but not because Herring was poor or anything. Simply because I feel he's worth a start.

I dont remember him being on the pitch !!!!!!
It was Diack and McComb in the 2nd rows as far as I remember.

Heard at the time that McComb was getting calls wrong.

Also include Zebre filming all the lineout calls in the warmup,this most definitely didn't help matters.

I pulled the old calf quite badly once upon a time and then after it "healed" and I got back to trying to train I ended up with some mild but annoying back problems. At the time the physio/kinesiologist (spelling?) told me that these two muscle injuries were at times uncomfortable bedfellows. Perhaps something similar to DT?

Anyways what a difference a week makes in terms of selection. Looks like D'Arcy's small fracture is a bit more serious as he ought to have been back by now? Andrews gives me the yips at fullback but not much that can be done. Glad to see Fitz and Cochrane both start. Deccie needs game time and Cochrane is a potential option in the back three with Payne's ongoing troubles and he is a lethal finisher to boot. Hope it goes well for him. Herring a lucky boy to be included this weekend after last weeks abysmal showing. Not all was his fault granted but there were a number of overthrows even when people had got into the air....not good enough.

D'Arcy I think is out for the season. Spoke to him after the Scarlets game and he said it didn't look good, however they'd have to wait and see.

I did state I thought Touhy was holding back last week

It may be Interesting this week but I fear a similiar sort of game to last week

the packs cancel each other out and we lack the grunt to finish within the last 10.

Baggy you must like cuban cigars sealed with the sweat of the maidens thights .

Have to disagree rum, not with Baggys taste in cigars but your fears about the game.
Should be ideal conditions for us and with Henry, Henderson, PJ and Afoa back we are starting to look like a familar team again with balance in the back row and leaders on the pitch.
Williams and Payne are still big misses though as we particular miss their ability to finish and line break and no one has stepped into that role of late.
Each player will be motivated to prove a point for various reasons such as justifying selection for Ulster or not being selected for Ireland.
I think with good conditions tonight could well be the night we get our season back on track so I am expecting a convincing win by 20 points plus.

Bookies have us at 1/41 and 26 points on the handicap.

You can get 33/1 on Zebre.

With dacent weather today it really should be a 5 pointer.
