Izzy in at 6 caught me off gaurd but great to see
McAllister as Tighthead replacement is interesting tbf could be McAllister or O'Toole don't think numbers apply to them lads... but amazed Bello or Scotty Wilson isn't in the Team ahead of McAllister.
Benson at 13 will be interesting to say the least.
This Saturday at Dexcom Stadium
Connacht Eagles Vs Ulster 'A' at 2pm.
We probably won't hear any team new's or result's but seen on Connacht media as its on the same day as their preseason match againt Ealing.
However heres my shot of the team only condition I used was must be IQ.
Also, We have our own preseason game against Edinburgh away so any players there are unlikely to feature here.
Assuming that most of the Internationals who seen limited minutes are available for preseason match.
- 1 Jacob Boyd
- 2 James McCormick
- 3 Tom McAllister
- 4 Paddy Woods
- 5 Joe Hopes
- 6 James McNabney
- 7 Jon Rodgers
- 8 Tom Brigg
- 9 Mathew Devine
- 10 Owen OKane
- 11 Chay Mullins
- 12 Ben Carson
- 13 Jonny Scott
- 14 Aiztol King
- 15 Dan Green
- 16 Henry Walker
- 17 Tyrese Alboringham

McNabney Likely to feature in the Pre Season so move up Ben ODonnell and maybe Adam Boyd on the bench ?
Also maybe swap Devine and McKee.
Ulster:
Tries: Nelson, Z Thompson (2),
Cons: Kennedy (3).
Pens: Kennedy.
Grabbed from Campbell College Socials so excuse what I can only presume is AI creates Team Sheets ...
With Jack Best ... in the U18s is Simons lad and his Brother is Hooker in the 2nd team in the U17s Sam.
Ben Best Flyhalf in the 1st Team is Rory's son to my Knowledge.
Serious amount of former and in Stuart Moores case current Ulster representation in the schools coaching ticket indication of Rorys & McCaugheys pledge to strengthen the schools teams ...
Team set to face Leinster U19s these would be Ireland U18s missing Alex Stinson "RSA" & Lewis Robinson "Regent" the two props away in South Africa.
Also missing Charlie O'Connor who would also be away with the Ireland Squad whos out injured for the next few months with a lower limb injury.
Anyone else missing due to Injury please feel free to comment with there postion & School / Club.
Not Sure if Owen OKane is injured, past the age limit or away abroad at Uni.
Notable Players I.E who i think is unlucky not to be in the Schools Squad ...
- Archie Graham
- Cian McClean
Good to see he found a club and Ealing play a decent level only for there grounds lacks of size and being beat by Worcester Warriors this year they are as close to prem as one gets ... without promotion.
I'm sure none of us expected Edinburgh .... as our preseason friendly ...
Few Ulster Lads on the Team Sheet.
Paddy Woods U19
Dan Green "3 Conversions"
Blake Mc Clean
Sad to see Dalton go he grew on me after his MOTM performance at 6 and of course KOK will be missed.
Few changes Paddy Woods promoted to starting as Joe Hopes drops out and Callum Johns comes onto the bench.
On the wing Moxham comes in, with Ethan Graham dropping to the bench fairly pissed about this personally tbh.
Angus Graham tighthead prop comes onto the bench to even the number with Leinster who also have an additional prop.
No Reinach at 9 and Willeemse playing centre not at full back seem favourable atleast but still a strong stormers lineout.
Good to see DeKlerk back and on the bench.
Hopefully McCloskey is only a strain and edging on caution and really hope McCann is a light injury fear when knees are mentioned in injurys ....
