It will all be about the fight in the dog tomorrow night when an injury ravaged Ulster face a strong Leinster side at Ravenhill.
The official opening of Ravenhill should ensure the biggest crowd of the season and the home team will need to draw on that support if they are to see of PRO12 table toppers, and champions elect, Leinster. It’s not the sort of game that you want to be missing World Cup winners Ruan Pienaar and John Afoa as well as the talismanic Stephen Ferris and Rory Best but such is life, the rest of the squad will just have to have to raise their game to accomodate!
Ulster will take some comfort that Jared Payne returns, even if he’s playing at centre (at the request of the IRFU?) and it’s good to see Dan Tuohy back in the squad after recovering from his hand injury but, and I keep coming back to this, the whole team are going to have to front up if they are to win this one.
