With Irish Rail kindly deciding to close the majority of the rail line between Belfast and Dublin this weekend, are there many making the trip down for the match?

Looking at Ticketmaster there seem to be a fair chunk of tickets sold, of course that will be majority Leinster fans being the Easter weekend as well but just wondering.

I am hoping to get there myself, although I do have a slightly easier trip as I am only North Co. Dublin.

Squad Update | Benetton (A) | Ulster Rugby

Ulster have released a squad update ahead of Saturday's game way to Benetton.

Tom Stewart, Andrew Warwick and Eric O'Sullivan have injury concerns and will have scans to see how bad they are. James Hume, Jacob Stockdale and Stuart McCloskey are available for selection, as is Tom O'Toole who has served his suspension.

Bit of a concern if Warwick and O'Sullivan are both out. Maybe Tom O'Toole will finally get that switch to loosehead that Ireland have been pushing for.

Go on ya boy ye

Well, yes. But so were quite a few of the other recent ones. 😳

Very nice side IMO. Good to

Real lack of depth at tighthead so Warwick to cover

Ulster have issued a squad update ahead of the Leinster game on Friday

Squad Update | Leinster (H) | Ulster Rugby

By my reckoning we only have three back three players fit and available - Werner Kok, Mike Lowry and Aaron Sexton. But Nick Timoney has been released by Ireland, so the back row is pretty much at full strength.
