[QUOTE="coonor, post: 541903, member: 39776"] I disagree, Ulster have played three away games with virtually a half strength team. They have gone to Italy and beaten Zebre and Treviso (which is a difficult game). Last week they beat the team in the position below them, it was a crucial game and they came away with a win. Yes it was an understength Scarlet's team but none the less it's never easy to win in Wales. Look at Leinster, in the Rabo they rarely look particularly brilliant but when it comes to the H-Cup they step up and play to their potential. That's what Ulster have to do. I don't really understand why you would make so many changes to a team that is undefeated. Court, Best and Afoa have to play considering the scrummaging power of Northampton. Touhy and Muller are top Heineken Cup class, this game is a level above McComb although i'm fine with him on the bench, probably more likely that Diack will be though. Henderson has been one of Ulster's best forwards so I don't see why you would not start him. Wilson knows the Saints very well, his knolwedge on the pitch will be invaluable. Wallace and Cave are a well tested and successful partnership and Trimble has done nothing to drop the Ulster shirt. Don't get wrong, Ulster will have to play a whole lot better to put them selves in a position to beat the Saints but Ulster are the team to beat in this pool. [/QUOTE]
