Bit of rotation but it's still a decent looking team on paper. The team two weeks ago had Sordoni and Bean starting in the pack and this is a much better lineup.

Unavailable: Luke Crosbie, Wes Goosen, Jaco van der Walt

So, still no recognised goal kicker.

With Vellacott starting it looks like we will be looking to play more to Edinburgh's quick game. Big Bill Mata is a huge loss, Haining is a hard carrier, but Bill is a bit special.
Muncaster is going to be very good in a year or two.

We're away to the champions, on paper we will do well to come away with a couple of points, but the optimist in me is hoping for more.

Kinghorn may not be a first choice goal kicker but he's a better option than we had on the pitch last week.

I'm disappointed not to see Big Bill, I wonder if they are easing him back into it after that long lay off?

I'd have preferred taking Muncaster out over Haining and starting hum this weekend with Haining on the bench. Much more confident with Kinghorn starting and, hopefully, kicking.

In Cyprus and might actually try to find a bar to watch this.

There would be a bar showing it in Cyprus???

And very well done to the Lions. I really like the look of their team, some great young talent.

But both games were so hard to watch. I'm not sure if its the officiating, but they just never seemed to get going. No rhythm at all. Neither are good adverts for the game.

Ulster had enough possession to do more but were very wasteful. That McCloskey turnover towards the end is why he won't be anywhere near the Irish team barring a load of injuries.

They'll be pleased with that score at half time.
