[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 554092, member: 13611"] Without Payne, Ulster's back line is still very good but he has the ability to hit a great line and rip teams apart taking Ulster up a notch. I don't rate Ricky Andrew one bit as an alternative. Very soft in defence and not up to much going forward. Muller is very like Leo Cullen for Leinster. He's a great leader who allows others to shine by doing the dirty work. I'd like to agree with this but don't just yet. Olding is clearly ahead of Niall O'Connor now thankfully. He'll get plenty of chances to start while Jackson is on international duty. Jackson is the more polished of the two young flyhalves but Olding brings more spark to the action. They could become an excellent 1-2 tandem. [/QUOTE]Henderson is just a horrific freak of nature. At 20, he's already about the most powerful man on any rugby pitch he goes onto. That's just sick.[/QUOTE] It'll be interesting to see how he develops. Given Ferris' injury, Henderson will remain at 6 for the remainder of the season. Longer term second row is the position Ireland most need help in and given Henderson's size, he'll probably end up there. I'd like to see him partner up with Muller as soon as possible to see what he can learn of him. [/QUOTE]
