We'll have to do for sure without four starters (and them without three) : McInally, Toolis, Gilchrist, Watson. Hopefully, McCallum, Cochrane and Kinghorn will be available for us.
But we'll have to deal with this situation.
Ulster are now out of Europe, they know we are chasing them and they will probably feel that if they beat us, the third place will be theirs. So there won't be any lack of motivation.
It will be a real summit of our season so far, and we'll have to face it with Carmichael, Crosbie, Fenton, Hunter-Hill, etc... They weren't able to grab a win in Paris : will they be able to get a win at Ravenhill ? Mind a bonus point for us and none for them could be good enough.

Surely if Edinburgh want a stage 3 kid in the side the prem team can't say no we'll have him. Renwick was playing for Hawick when Edinburgh was in SA. Don't know how else to see it other than Cockers prefers Matthews....

Its sad to say but the court case being very public could have an effect too. Its only the opening parts but it doesn't sound good. In particular the point being made of Ulster looking after their players.
