[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1010666, member: 45598"] It's all either out of necessity of that they're the best players. It's no big deal picking Hume and Moore when there's every chance that they'll start Marshall and McCloskey who are, in my opinion, a worse pairing than the two young lads. Why has Coetzee played all but one game and McCann not had a look? A genuine future international there who's more than ready to stand in for Coetzee against Zebre or the Dragons but hasn't. Stewart hasn't had a chance ahead of Cooney and Shanahan either. I don't think playing your best players is going out of the way to develop talent when you have a few lads who could make an impact on the international game before long holding tackle bags. There's far two many seasoned pros in that Ulster squad with 6-7 pro 14 appearances blocking younger talent in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
