Ulster v Glasgow (19:45 BST)
It may only be September but Richie Murphy and his fellow provincial head coaches are already having to consider international call-ups.
The senior side won't be in action until November but the Emerging Ireland panel for a three-game trip to South Africa has already been named with a six-strong Ulster contingent included.
Cormac Izuchukwu, Scott Wilson, Jude Postlethwaite, Jack Murphy, Harry Sheridan and Zac Ward have all been named in the panel that will be led by Simon Easterby.
The latter has certainly garnered plenty of column inches this summer having impressed in the Olympic Sevens for Ireland and then been brought in by Ulster on trial.
"He's really exciting and one we are looking forward to working with," said Easterby.
