[QUOTE="coonor, post: 502983, member: 39776"] So pumped for this game can't wait, it's the first Heineken Cup game I'm going to see! On the McLaughlin v Jennings combo, I certainly thinks he selection is down to the line out. McLaughlin may have a bit more grunt in attack but lacks the tackling ability of Jennings and Ulster should target him around the fringes. However his line out skills are necessary when playing Thorn and Cullen so I agree with the call. Henry will be a key weapon for Ulster, his may have the vital ability to tie Leinster in. If Ulster can gain an upper hand in he set piece, they will spoil Leinsters first phase ball, from there Henry will be key if he can shut down any second phase ball threat and slow the game down Ulster will be able to defend. Now this is easier said than done especially with Leinster's attacking ability and set peace that I believe will stand firm. In my opinion though I would argue that Ulster's kick chase game is one of their major assets, I would play a territorial game if I were Ulster and pin Leinster back forcing them into making decision and then mistakes.
