    Ulster look to continue an unbeaten run at the start of this season's pro12 campaign.

    Predictions:

    Marshall to struggle, Pienaar to kick the ball at every opportunity, Payne to be found out as a useless import and the Ulster scrum to be under serious pressure.

    :pac:
    or exactly the opposite. Ulster massive favourites for a reason, hopefully the team isn't too broken up by the Irish call ups.

    Ulster XV & replacements to face Edinburgh, RaboDirect PRO12, Friday 2nd November, Ravenhill (7.05pm):

    15 Ricky Andrew
    14 Chris Cochrane
    13 Jared Payne
    12 Paddy Wallace
    11 Craig Gilroy
    10 Ruan Pienaar
    9 Paul Marshall
    1 Callum Black
    2 Nigel Brady (c)
    3 John Afoa
    4 Lewis Stevenson
    5 Neil McComb
    6 Stephen Ferris
    7 Mike McComish
    8 Roger Wilson

    Bench
    Niall Annett
    Richard Lutton
    Adam Macklin
    Robbie Diack
    Nick Williams
    Niall O'Connor
    Stuart Olding
    Peter Nelson

    This will be a real test of depth for us. The back three is a bit light in experience and while McComish has done okay this season we'll need another big game from him tomorrow. Other than that the starting XV looks pretty good given the number of players missing. Diack and Williams aren't bad players to spring from the bench and Nelson and Olding are two exciting young talents who should have no fears.

    I love Jim Neillys barely concealed biases!

    Ulster very disrupted in the pack. They need to settle before the set piece will work

    Marshall under commands to show that he can kick as often as Kidney would require?

    Paddy Wallace and Jared Payne are such classy players. Hopefully they get more opportunities.

    Stevenson doesn't look great there.

    Hopefully he's grand, he's had a great start to the season tbh.

    poor defence so far from Ulster really, would be behind but for genius from gilroy and a chargedown. Need to tighten things up considerably
