Quiz: where will he play?
Hopefully at FB!

But probably not given that Craig, Charlie and Cube are likely to form the back 3.
Ludik at 13 then

All depends on the attitude of La Rochelle on the day (classic cliché). If they are in the mood....mon dieu!
La Rochelle -1 is like printing money.

If they show up in the right head space, yeah it is.

They may not play as open as usual and instead focus on using their giant pack full of Kiwis and Fijians.......

Can't see a side based on the West Atlantic Coast of France not being used to the wind and Rain. It is not exactly the Riveria.

Ok let's play a game called.how could Ulster win this game?
It's clear that we have been targeting this match as we have been holding back for the last number of weeks.

In Best, Hendy CP, CL, Stockdale and Cooney we have at least a spine of a side of class performers.
All of them will need to up their game and bring the rest up to a level and intensity to compete with these guys.
They will need to be off their game in about a 20% performance swing
Some may well not be too used to the hostile atmosphere and conditions the Kingspan can generate

Every side is capable of producing a one off performance.
Its the quality sides that back it up and we can't do that.
We can assume that our management know that too and have put our eggs in one basket.
I struggle to explain why else we have been so bad of late.
I hope the reality isn't proven that we are actually that bad.

Hostile?
We have a band, Q radio, twunts in onesies, an anthem played 7 times per night in G.A.Y.

We have an artisan food village, a selfie competition, half time kicking balls over posts

Nothing hostile about UR

Need the various supporters clubs to step up to the mark this weekend. Organise their various troops and get guldering

They could have a man red-carded in the 1st quarter.
