Bookies have it Leinster 1/5, Ulster 4/1 with a spread of 14 points. That's not the way I see it without our internationals. Ulster are missing very few.

Ulster have a fair few injuries:

Iain Henderson (hamstring)
Will Addison (lower leg)
Cormac Izuchukwu (knee)
Jack McGrath (hip)
Luke Marshall (knee)
Jordi Murphy (knee)
Jacob Stockdale (ankle)
Ben Moxham (groin)

Depending on who Faz selects for Sunday, we could select a very respectable team of players who need game time and could be in contention against Bath. Putting players used/ required by Ireland in brackets, it could read something like:

15. J O'Brien (Keenan), 14.Adam Byrne (Larmour), 13. T O'Brien (Ringrose), 12. C Frawley (Henshaw), 11. D. Kearney, (Lowe), 10. R Byrne (Byrne H), 9. L. McGrath (JGP), 1. E Byrne (Porter), 2. Sheehan (Kelleher), 3. M. Al'a'toua (Furlong / Healy). 4. D Toner (Ryan), 5. R. Molony (Baird), 6. R. Ruddock, (Doris), 7. D. Leavy (JVdF), 8. M. Deegan ((Conan).

As availability is identified, it is becoming clearer that we should certainly have a strong team on Saturday evening, not a million miles from that suggested above. Dave Kearney is clearly one absentee but Jordon Larmour is a potential addition. Dan Sheehan could be missing but Cronin and Treacy could be available.

Henshaw, Baird and Clarkson would be nice additions to the match-day Squad also.

It's a fair bet that, the team to be selected will have been training together in preparation for this game.
Looking forward to how they perform.

At 12?! As in inside centre?!

[mildlyinterested]

Listed 12th in squad list of 24, team not named yet.

That's a big loss if he isn't available. Vakh/Clarkson are a big step down.

Surprised he's allowed to tbh, this is a massive game in the context of the league. We could go 8/9 points ahead of Ulster/Munster with a win.

Is it up to us? International window.

I'd say we're good. We have 3 international in reserve if we needed to. It's a good time to get back to Vadk

Not if it's not agreed in his contract, but would've assumed that was a stipulation that was discussed. And I would think if Leinster said 'we need you for a top of the table clash' he'd choose not to go play the BaBas.

None of Healy, Porter, Furlong likely to be available, so we'll have Vakh/Clarkson. Which is fine but a step down from the others for a top of the table game.

Fairly certain the international window is only three weeks in November and finished last Sunday.
