I thought Jack Blain would have come back into the conversation. Would let Bofelli go back to full back where he can influence the game more.

So,its 1st XV backs (less Graham) and 2nd XV pack.Not sure given its Munster away we might have been better off the other way around!
Strong Munster lineup so will be very difficult.Lets hope they've learnt from last week to turn pressure into points.Would have been a different game if we'd scored on either of the occasions in both halves when we spent more than five minutes pounding the Leinster tryline to no avail.

Or Jacob Henry, not sure what Blair sees in Imelmann at all.

By the looks of the forecast the worst of the storm will have passed by seven o'clock, but the pitch is going to take a drenching during the day and there is still likely to be heavy rain and sleet during the game.

Which is a bit SteveWalsh for the game we want to play.

Good to see Bennett get recognition as a leader and stalwart Dean come off the bench . Interesting to see how he plays with Blair Principles. ?

LBP woudl probably be a decent result, but never know if we can get enough ball we will do some damage.

Concerned that if we get a back 3 injury then we have to disrupt our playmaker though.

Dean on as centre, Bennett to wing?

Not a great start.

Whitehouse is a massive homer as well, which won't help.

Getting battered at the breakdown. Agree Munster seem to be ok to do what they want there though.

The little known law that i you do it quickly and generate the ball you can do what you want...

They are making uus look quite passive.

Surey its illegal to carry your own man forward like that? There is no way of tackling the player, fine if standing stil but cant carry him forward.

poor reffing, created a very dangerous situation
