B & I Cup 16/17

Not the Ravens in same group as London Scottish, Jersey and the Cardiff Blues Premiership Select.

Old Boys Butterworth and Adair at Jersey. McCrea was there but seems to have been released by them. They have signed Regan King for this season.

I might go to London Scottish...its just a few tube stops to Richmond for me.

On strike

Might go to jersey

Best place for you scout, full of ould Tories who like living near France, just not in the same community.

I could have done with a jersey (or 3) the last time the Ravens played in Ravenhill.

Unless he's re-signed for Jersey, Butterworth left in Nov 2015. He played for Lansdowne in the AIL at the end of last year and for the Irish clubs' side .

The Ulster A team, sponsored by CD Group, will take on Leinster A on Saturday evening at Donnybrook (kick-off 7.00pm), which will serve as a final warm-up game ahead of the British & Irish Cup opener next weekend

Dan Tuohy will return to captain the Ulster side, in what will be his first appearance since being sidelined with an ankle injury in December 2015.

The side includes 7 of the starting XV who defeated Canada A 48-38 in a 13-try thriller at Kingspan Stadium at the end of August, including openside flanker Nick Timoney who picked up the Man of the Match award that night.

Ireland U20 stars Jonny McPhillips and Jacob Stockdale will play at out-half and outside centre respectively, while Kyle McCall will add additional senior team experience to the front row.
