The UAFC

One week out from Europe, will we see Dan going full bore for the 1st time this season, injuries allowing?
Expect spicy plum to get a start this week but who else deserves a run out?

Who is Spicy Plum?

I ordered a spiced plum yoghurt from Sainsbury’s last week but it wasn’t delivered.

They must have had a run on them over the last week or two.

It's an xhosa thing but the actual rational behind it it unclear.

Spicy Rum? I much prefer CIman's 'Kid from Mad'.

Have they got the leaf blowers out yet?

Looks like the first maximum layers cold weather day on Saturday.

I plan to save the thermals for a colder day.

Maybe it will snow at Quins again.

That part of London gets bloody cold - the Grand Slam game was absolutely Baltic.

The fake grass next door is looking a bit frosty.

Ulster Rugby v Edinburgh Rugby, Saturday 2 December, 5 15pm, Kingspan Stadium, Round 7 BKT United Rugby Championship, live on Viaplay and URC.tv.

(15-9): Will Addison, Rob Baloucoune, James Hume, Stuart McCloskey, Jacob Stockdale, Billy Burns, John Cooney;

(1-8): Steven Kitshoff, Tom Stewart, Tom O’Toole, Alan O’Connor (C), Kieran Treadwell, Matty Rea, Nick Timoney, James McNabney.

Replacements: John Andrew, Andy Warwick, Marty Moore, Cormac Izuchukwu, Dave Ewers, Nathan Doak, Stewart Moore, Ben Moxham.

Great to see McNabney get another start and Izzy on the bench, pretty happy with that considering the injuries, although I'd have had Sheridan over Rea but this does keep him fresh.
