Just shows his work rate and commitment. No wonder Zebo was dropped for him...



:pac: kidding!!

Would prefer to see McGrath start but I suppose he can't play every game during the 6N. Other than that given all the unavailable players, that's a good team.

My thoughts exactly. I think the * denotes academy players....my Italian is limited!

Big Caffini could run riot here. Azzolini, class!

scott1974

Their pack is decent enough... a few Argie props and ex Italians... most of that pack played in the 12-16 loss to Munster..

thomond2006

Dion Berryman will hopefully get a good reception from the terrace after his heroics in the same game last season.

errlloyd

Does those Asterix indicate contract players? I heard Zebre had to bring in some club heroes.

The funniest part about this post is that Zebre's starting 10 this weekend is probably better than Ulster's

You're probably right. :mad:

Saw it wasn't on TV, bought tickets on ticket exchange.

This made me realise that I am the problem - I am the armchair fan who prefers to watch at home. Anyway, gonna sort out some prawn sandwiches and a nice knitten jumper to watch the game from the grandstand.

Is there radio coverage?

Well just got a FREE upgrade on my ticket. Nice. :cool:

However I read on and I can only do it by phone (and my 8 year old Nokia just aint going to cut it)

errlloyd

Bit grey and wet here in D18, do we think it's going to be a night for good rugby?

I thought 25 on the spread was worth a go (on Leinster), but if the weather gets any worse it might be about right.

How did you get the free upgrade? I'm dithering about my usual spot in the North stand.

Email came through - got one too, but was too late to accept it (only noticed the email 15mins after it was sent) and I lost the offer :mad:

I see your rainfall radar and raise you a short range forecast. This is usually accurate enough and it suggests that it'll be light rain for the duration. With an already wet surface it won't be ideal conditions, but we should be look at a TBP here anyway. I would hope....
