No sign of Bowe anywhere near the squad, can anyone explain this? He isnt injured because he didnt get a mention on the "Players not considered due to injury" section of the press release.

Should be an exciting game. Its on BBC2W and Setanta Ireland.

Tommy Bowe is playing with the Neath-Swansea Ospreys now.

A big surprise is the omission of Humphreys from the team and even the squad.
A drop in the Ireland pecking order for him.

Yeah will be watching this one.

Saw Bowe earlier with the Ospreys walking into the changing rooms. Wonder if they are gonna let him do the lap of honour with the other Ulster Grand Slam winners?

Ulster to win this one I think... Don't think the Osprey back line will threaten too much. And right on cue the rain starts in Ravenhill!

They certainly lost rather than Ospreys winning. Wonder how many more gears Ospreys could have stepped up if Ulster had played better. Far too many handling errors and a lack of cohesion again.... very very poor.

Totally agree, wouldn't fancy being in that Ulster dressing room, facin the wrath of 'gorgeous' Mattie....no invention, no creativity and precious little ambition...did enjoy watching that dominant scrum performance though (for all the good it did them)...God, how they need a decent place kicker...
