First topic message reminder :

Game on Friday, another sell-out crowd, but like everyone else we're scrabbling around with the Six Nations and injuries, trying to make ends meet. Declan Fitzpatrick, Rory Best, Chris Henry, Iain Henderson, Paddy Jackson and Craig Gilroy are all with the national side. John Afoa and Jared Payne are on leave to ensure they stay fresh on the home straight of the season. And Adam Macklin, Paddy McAllister, Stephen Ferris, Nick Williams, Roger Wilson, Tommy Bowe, Chris Farrell, Peter Nelson and Adam D'Arcy are all still injured.

Selection is further complicated by the news that Darren Cave and Andrew Trimble have been called into the Ireland squad as cover for Earls and D'Arcy- they are included here but aren't likely to be released from tacklebag duty until Thursday.

Forwards (14)

Nigel Brady, Rob Herring, Niall Annett, Callum Black, Ricky Lutton, Andrew Warwick, Tom Court, Lewis Stevenson, Dan Tuohy, Neil McComb, Johann Muller, Mike McComish Robbie Diack, Ali Birch.

Backs (11)

Ruan Pienaar, Paul Marshall, Niall O’Connor, Stuart Olding, Paddy Wallace, Luke Marshall, Darren Cave, Michael Allen, Andrew Trimble, Chris Cochrane, Ricky Andrew.

There is some good news- Johann Muller, Dan Tuohy and Luke Marshall are back and available for selection. But it's a squad with no recognised tighthead, only 3 recognised backrows and only one recognised fullback. Of the props, it is to be hoped Tom Court stays at loosehead- the joke of trying him at 3 is testament to how we will fail to get the best out of him in that position and would further damage his international chances. Of the 4 looseheads in the squad the burden will probably fall on Richard Lutton to wear the 3 shirt with 21 year-old Prop/Hooker Andrew Warwick covering for him on the bench.

I would move the hard-grafting Neil McComb to the blindside flanker as a lineout option and a ball carrier, given how light we are in the backrow. With Jackson missing at 10, it's a good opportunity to look at Stuart Olding outside Ruan Pienaar and Luke Marshall to come off the bench.

Notchs XV;

1. Tom Court
2. Nigel Brady
3. Richard Lutton
4. Johann Muller (c)
5. Dan Tuohy
6. Neil McComb
7. Mike McComish
8. Robbie Diack
9. Ruan Pienaar
10. Stuart Olding
11. Andrew Trimble
12. Paddy Wallace
13. Darren Cave
14. Michael Allen
15. Ricky Andrew

16. Rob Herring 17. Andrew Warwick 18. Callum Black 19. Lewis Stevenson 20. Ali Birch 21. Paul Marshall 22. Luke Marshall 23. Chris Cochrane.

Gill has been injured recently and not played much.

I have been very impressed with Bevington recently, I would not be surprised if he was starting for Wales in a few years.

Neil

The way I saw it was he was in the ruck and struggling for footing, but thats the difficulty the IRB have given the refs, you see it as he's not in the ruck, I see it as just rucking, the ref went with you but couldve pinged any player rucking in the 10 mins before for anything theyve done also.

I definitely agree with that.

I suppose my point was that, regardless of actual form (presumably that's Howley's sole selection criterion...), if a player isn't playing international rugby he's not likely to get picked for the Lions.

Phil Davies will be hiding behind his bar style hinged board (again) tonight. He and Rob Howley should join forces to produce a wonder coaching team, maybe Holley can back them up too!!!

When are the prem coaches who show some nous for the game going to get their chances, similarly to players we are trying to groom a very certain few coaches through to int standard as quick as possible, whats wrong with highlighting succes before making decisions???

Ah I hope thats not too serious for Pienaar, Herring did not have a good night hopefully Annett will show us the form he has showed when brought on so far.

I was amazed that Evans resigned for the Dragons recently, he was on of the few receiving offers. Although he doesn't want to leave Newport, he definately shouldve explored his options, he should be in the Wales squad, but today it seems you have to promote your reputation not perform well!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Ulster manage to get through here, great O's defence mind.

And the O's discipline lets us down again. Yellow...

Second man, over the ball, Ulster player holding on - and the second man gets a YC.

Cruel for the O's they have been the better team so far.

What a dire decision that is, match winning for Ulster but such a bad call, Allen assists at best, never holds the player and is carded for not releasing?!?!?!?!

Bevington runs it in from 20m out!

Excellent try, brilliant interlinking.

Well deserved for the O's

That's why Bevington should be 2nd choice for Wales - outstanding support for a prop forward.

He has had a good 30 minutes of intense rugby tonight - especially down to 14.

Some excellent O's desperate defence.

Fantastic defence and a bit of endeavor wins the O's a penalty.

Risky stuff, but they are doing it well - they deserve a win.

Can't believe we didn't score, let it get to scrappy and that let them in and then makes it hard for ref to know whats going on too. Poor by us our backs look tired.
