Ospreys v Leinster should be good. What kind of team will Lesinter be putting out, will any of the players in the Ireland squad be playing?
They might get a few. Ulster have just got Small Paul, Gilroy and Ferris back, giving us...
Ulster squad: Rob Herring, Nigel Brady, Niall Annett, Callum Black, Ricky Lutton, Adam Macklin, John Afoa, Lewis Stevenson, Neil McComb, Mike McComish, Stephen Ferris, Robbie Diack, Ali Birch, Roger Wilson, Nick Williams, Paul Marshall, Michael Heaney, Ruan Pienaar, Niall O’Connor, Stuart Olding, Paddy Wallace, Michael Allen, Peter Nelson, Craig Gilroy, Chris Cochrane, Jared Payne, Ricky Andrew.
Unavailable for selection (14): Rory Best (injured), Tommy Bowe, Tom Court, Darren Cave, Chris Farrell (inj), Declan Fitzpatrick, Iain Henderson, Chris Henry, Paddy Jackson, Luke Marshall, Paddy McAllister (inj), Johann Muller (inj), Andrew Trimble, Dan Tuohy.

Ricky Lutton - never heard of him (I'm ashamed to say), is he any good & what age is the guy?

Would love to see Stuart Olding start at 10 for Ulster instead of Niall O'Connor. Suspect Mark Anscombe will pick Paul Marshall and Ruan Pienaar as his halfback combo though.
Don't know much more than you! Think he's about 25, spent a spell in England, went to Belfast Harlequins and got picked up this season as cover. Loosehead I think. Might be very wrong here though.
Speaking of Ulster front row news, Black and Herring have both extended their deals.
Snoopy - Agree with both of those, and would agree with Anscombe too.
Will be interesting to see who out of Andrew, Cochrane and Nelson loses out on a shirt for this match.

Probably not. I'd imagine we'll send something like this out:
D Kearney
A Conway
E O'Malley
Goodman or Reid
F Carr
Madigan
Boss
R Ruddock
S Jennings
J Murphy
D Toner
Q Roux
J Hagan
T Sexton
H Van Der Merwe
Problems at 12 and 2. Having Rhys, EOM and Kearney Jnr. back are huge bonuses as we'd be fecked without them. Goodman should start imo. You might argue that it's a bit soon, but he's just off the back of an ITM season so he should be sharp, and this is exactly the period we need him for, ie. when Dorce and Ferg aren't available. I'd expect EOM to make it through about 50 mins and then Macken to come on. John Coshould also get considerable game time as there are still questions over Boss' fitness.
EDIT: Scratch that, EOM wont be back for another week or two. Macken to play the 80 in that case.

Squad for Edinburgh game:
(15-9): R Andrew; C Cochrane, J Payne, P Wallace, C Gilroy; R Pienaar, P Marshall;
(1-8): C Black, N Brady (capt), J Afoa, L Stevenson, N McComb, S Ferris, M McComish, R Wilson;
Replacements (16-23): N Annett, R Lutton, A Macklin, R Diack, N Williams, N O'Connor, S Olding, P Nelson.
Still a pretty strong team I guess considering the amount of players away - however if it was up to me I would not be playing Ferris.
Wheres Rob Herring? Is he injured? I'm also glad Cochrane is playing he's quite good.

Who do you think will win this match? Both teams have lost some of their better players and look weak. Can the Cardiff Blues get any worse than they were last week?
