Really happy to see Crosbie and Damo back, I just hope they are up to speed.

WP off the naughty step, too.

We could really have done with Graham back, but otherwise that has been our first choice backline

Well, first choice apart from the ones I overlooked, obviously :P

Mores seriously, Boff at fullback, Graham on one wing with Moyano and Hoyland duking it out as first choice other winger would be my selection.

Going to be a very tough game, always are against Ulster.

I have grown to appreciate Laing's game at 12, defensively good and can carry hard into traffic but he is like having a second stand off, very good hands and takes the pressure off of Kinghorn at 10. I must admit I had my doubts when he arrived but he has grown into the role and the team and I think Bennet has really benefited from his arrival. We missed him against Zebra when our attempt to use Hutchison as a sledgehammer didn't really work.

Edinburgh are getting very close to having a very strong first choice team all round.

Same for me, but this selection is not a bad one considering we have three back three players missing.

Jaco is maybe our 3rd/4th best fullback but he's a solid option there I think.

That move we do with Lang passing it out of the back is really effective.

Great to see Hoyland Back and Crosbie too , the latter brings a bit more to our lineout and maul but such fine margins between him , Muncaster and Boyle who have been terrific.

Agree on Lang , he has impressed more consistently in last couple of shows but again small margins between him and Dean who probably produced one of the best attacking displays of the season with Kinghorn vs Connacht. We have much more quality now across so many positions.

Hope the rain that is forecast doesn’t compromise what should be a fantastic match .

Strong squad Boyle perhaps unlucky to drop out, been playing well, but great to have Crosbie back.

Looks a decent Ulster team but their results not been great of late.

Hopefully Schoe, Rambo and Nel can get on top in the scrum and the pack gives us the platform

Huge match for both, looking forward to it.

With a sell out crowd could our noise be the 16th man? Need to drown out the Ulster fans as the guys do seem to get something from the backing. Going up to Knockhill to watch some bike racing first to take my mind off the game for a bit.

I'm feeling somewhat similar to how I feel before an International. Excited anticipation and nerves. This game is huge for us, and stadium should be jumping.

I am maybe feeling more nervous because I have more anticipation for this one. I am stuck in Belfast (ironically) due to Covid, so will miss being at the DAM; it is good that season tickets are transferable.

We really need the crowd tonight to drown out the Ulstermen.
