What are the main injuries affecting Ulster's team?
Off the ball.
GAA. Yeah, it was a very high scoring game. I suppose we were seeing a lot of work from Division 1A this year and we know that they were playing a level of bubbles and I suppose the first half was even but we know they're a serious side.

Right now, turning our attention to Robbie with Keytracing, myself, Alan Quinlan's live on the line and Dara Smith. Nothing. Gents, good morning. How are you?
Good morning.
Morning, lads. How are you?
Dara, looking cool. Cat backwards.
Yeah, I'm having a good time. I won't lie, lads. I'm having a good time. Sunny Claremont. I'm also wearing shorts, but I'm actually quite cold. It's... I did this, I was in Portugal earlier this year, and I kind of just assume it's sunny all year round in France and Portugal, those type of countries. It's actually quite cold. So, let's get a move on here, lads. I'm absolutely freezing.
Yeah, we will take our time. Looking quite nice with the fashion here. Alan Quinlan looking very golf presidential, dare I say. And Dara on the other side of it, finding himself across Europe. Are they going to find themselves in a tasty encounter with France tomorrow, Dara? Yeah, exactly.
This is a massive game for Ireland. I suppose over the last couple of fixtures between these sides, Ireland have been left heartbroken. Particularly that last outing at the World Cup has been built up as a bit of a revenge game, which the players have shot down this week. But very much can be thought of as that, because obviously in that World Cup game, there was only a try between the teams, but... A couple of decisions went against Ireland. Obviously, there's the infamous incident between Aoife Wafer and Bartholomew, the French back row, where she allegedly bit her at the bottom of her ruck. So, yeah, there's plenty to settle in this one.
Quinny, how are you feeling ahead of this one?
Yeah, I think you've... I think Scott Beeman spoke about the gap being closed, closing a little bit during the week, and they're not really focusing on that. But I think, look, everybody who's been watching the Irish rugby team the last couple of years has seen improvement. There's excitement around this current group, the depth in, you know, even coming off the bench, getting Erin King back from her long-term injury, Dorothy Wall back, who starts tomorrow. There's only one change. yeah I think they have a really good chance obviously France same as their men's teams you know if they get their confidence up and they get their flow into their game they can be extremely dangerous so I'd always be nervous again if I was a player here
I was a little bit surprised. You know, Stacey Flood saying they should be worried. I think you don't want to give any sort of motivation or edge to this French team if they're listening into anything that's been said in the press conferences during the week. But the reality is Ireland have a really good chance here and you never know. You've got to perform, Colm.
