The UAFC

Neither Hond nor Cooper are registered if the Champions Cup website is anything to go by.

Warwick, McCall, EOS and Rodney (who may be banned after the A game) listed.

I wonder is the great Rodney at loosehead experiment back on.

I wonder if there is any allowance to add a prop due to injuries?

The provision for the nomination of Emergency Front Row players is not intended to allow clubs to improve the quality of their squads, and is designed to cater for illness and/or injury in the relevant positions. The players added to squads will typically come from a club’s academy or similar.

We would be better going uncontested.

We've been going uncontested for most of the season.

No problem getting the Hond in as rules state that registering an additional player should not be done to improve the quality of the squad.

When's the last time the Hond played? Has he been training?

He warmed up on Friday and has not been listed as injured. He played a half in a preseason friendly.

He was in trainers the other day moving the cattle down the road to a new field for a bit more grass.

Ground is still fierce dry, no need for the boots.

Is he really that bad? Does anyone really know ?

He can hardly get a game for the Ulster As, that doesn't speak well for him.

He's NIQd so won't get a run out for the As as is the new policy

I am sure a couple of people on here who were at the pre season game he played said that was ok. Yet he has disappeared again without a trace after that.

Strange.
