Charlie has to start - in Donaghy's sweeper role - and he should be captain too.
Paul Hughes to mark McVeety.
I was tempted to put Charlie in at 6. If he starts he probably is captain.
Paul Hughes was man of the match for me the other day. Prior to that I wouldn't have viewed him as a great man marker.
No matter what 15 start we have strength on the bench.
I can't see Grugan starting. O'Neill has made dead ball his own at this stage. Another reason for Grugan to make way.
Hard to name a 15. Very hard.
1. Hughes
4. Hughes
7. Forker
8. Burns
9. Grimley
10. Nugent
12. Hall
13. Clarke
14. O'Neill
Those are 9 I think will all play in those positions. Although Hughes could move into 3 and O'Neill will undoubtedly drift out from the square. Not a natural 14. Too much to offer out the field.
For all the strength we have we haven't got a certain spine.
3, 6 and 11 aren't exactly jerseys nailed down by anyone and our 14 is best suited to 11.
Instead of building a team around our spine we are filling the 'gaps' in those central areas in many ways.
I'm not too concerned. It's far from a 15 man game as we all know and changes will be made throughout to get back to an Ulster final.
And that we will do.
