Big Ginger 8, he's about the same size and weight as O'Callaghan already (depending on who you believe, heavier). His natural position in life appears to be lock, but I think he'll play more of next season at 6 as we're shorter there than at lock.
Having now watched the game, he did a couple of poor things and seemed caught out by the pace of the game/as to where he should be a few times, but his line out was flawless, his carrying very good and his tackling solid. Good work rate and athleticism too. My excitement levels remain high.
Looking at our ball security at the ruck, which I think let us down most other than individual errors and not for the first time this season, I think they see why they might have picked a Kiwi Forwards coach. Reasonably happy other than that. Tuohy and Spence the pick of the Ulstermen to me, Spence is an absolute animal.
