Ulster's back row 2010/11 the strongest in the Magners League?

With the addition of Xavier Rush to the the Ulster squad announced today, their back row is could potentially be made up of:

Stephen Ferris (arguably the best blind-side flanker in the world, if not, the northern hemisphere)

Xavier Rush

Chris Henry (up and coming young talent, captained the Ireland Wolfhounds to there trashing of, on paper, a very strong Scotland 'A' team)

Robbie Diack (young South African talent who is Irish qualified)

Then all of their young back row players like TJ Anderson, David Pollock and Willie Faloon

So potentially:

6.Ferris

7.Rush

8.Henry

Very strong indeed, any other teams with such strength and depth?

Update:

Ferris has never had a real chance to play against the other good 6s. He missed most of the Lions with injury, never played against Rocky while he was at Leinster. The man is a monster, and when fit, is certainly top 3 in the world.

    Leinster?

    Heaslip... Top 3 number 8s in the world

    Sean O Brian... more than adequate replacement for Ferris when given his chance hopefully at this six nations

    So many up coming young players... Jordi Murphy for example

    Munster have great up and coming flankers too

    And Im irish and there is no way Ferris is the best 6 in the world... he one of my favourite players just there are players such as Elsom and Brussow?
