With another week to go before the game I will get myself right up to speed and will be throwing my hat into the ring for selection.
Meanwhile, Ulster will are due to confirm the return of Ireland A fly-half Niall O’Connor to Ravenhill. The 24-year-old from Limavady moved to Connacht on a two-year deal at the start of the current season, but has negotiated a return to his home province.
