In the pack Ed Taylor is back and Alex Rae is at openside.

Replacements: Jacob Fields, Camilo Parilli-Ocampo, Dave Spelman, Will Carrick-Smith, Josh Buggea, Jordan Burns, Elliot Clement-Hill
I’m glad that we seem to be holding our own in the league/ cup without help from the ‘special relationship’ down the M1. Just an observation on the season so far. The recruitment of experienced ‘old heads’ has been another key factor along with enhanced leadership on the field. Onwards and upwards

Absolutely agreed JW, in fact a stand out feature of this season Even when a couple pulled out of the Ospreys match at short notice, we still had it covered. Although we may need a short loan to cover Will Hooley's USA spell.
Speaking to those more knowledgeable than I; apparently Ulster cannot put in 1st teamers unless already included in the B&I squad at the outset. This was a B&I stipulation to prevent such an occurrence.
