22. Ronaldson
23. Poolman

would stick Faloon ahead of Heenan for this one. He'll be up for it against his old teammates.

I'd like to see Ronaldson start..... in all seriousness I want to see him start a match and the sooner the better, it probably won't be Ulster or Ospreys though. Also think Poolman needs to get back on the field soon although I would not complain if lam stuck with Healy and TOH. When is McKeon back?

john lacey is the ref

(you'd kinda miss dudley philips, NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT)

Who's reffing this

Hopefully John Lacey.

If it's Clancy/Rolland/Fitzgibbon we're up against it

I want a win here and i don't think that is asking too much.

Last week was an insult.

Team need to get the finger out.

at least the Ulster supporters add their voices and should get the home crowd chanting, the leinster and munster fans have been very quiet at the sportsground the last few seasons.

My main concern is that Parks won't be able to control the game if they dominate us up-front however Ulster are far weaker without Pienaar controlling things. They also come into this game with a below stength backline. They've had the upperhand at set-piece against us before but I get the impression they won't be as dominant this season.

Big task for Clarke to step in for his first competetive game.

We need a result , we need some luck , we need all 22 on the day at their best , we need the clan roaring at full voice to drown out that horrid 'Stand up for the Ulstermen' shite , we need a solid ref , we need touch judges who open their eyes , we need Parks to kick everything , we need Clarke ....................WE need tries!!!

Rabo Direct Pro 12 Round 3
Connacht v Ulster
Saturday 21st September Kick Off 18:45
On TV: RTE / BBC NI

Connacht and Ulster meet in the first interprovincial clash of the season on Saturday. Ulster have made a stuttering start to the season but the Sportsground will hold little fear for them as they enjoyed a comfortable 34-18 bonus point victory on their last visit. Connacht's defeat (and the manner of the performance) at Cardiff last Friday evening did a lot to dampen pre-season enthusiasm. With both sides in need of a result its unlikely to be a game for the faint hearted. Below are some stats on Ulster:
