There were some clips from Cullen on OTB last night, where he said he expected Luke to be available for selection for this match

Possibly looking at something like:
Dooley, Tracy, Bent, Fardy, Molony, Murphy, Murphy, Conan, JGP, Carbery, Daly, Isa, ROL, MCF, Larmour
Byrne, Cronin, Porter, Kearney, Deegan, McGrath, Byrne, Byrne
Good side.

Neither Aki or Marmion are in the Connacht 23 but I’m still hopeful we’ll get some of ours back.

I really, really hope we're just wrapping Isa in cotton wool for fear of anything happening to him before Sarries...

Very strong side.
Looking at the bench, will we see Carbery switch to ten at some point?

Strong side, would love to see Conan getting a few big carries in ahead of Saracens next week.
I think we can assume now that Lowe will start against Saracens, so it's between Daly and McFadden for the final berth?

Re: Ospreys Away - Sat 24th March 2018, 7.35pm S4C
I would like to think so, with Nick McCarthy on the bench next week, but I don't follow why we can assume that to be the case. To me it looks like Lowe will be left out against Sarries with Fardy and JGP lined up to feature in the QF 23.Leinsterlunatic wrote:Strong side, would love to see Conan getting a few big carries in ahead of Saracens next week.

To me it looks like the half of the team for next week with changes to come at 1, 3, 4, 7 (Jordi to 6), 10, 12, 13 & 15.

Interestingly Sarecens have gone with most of their big guns for their match tomorrow (Farrell the only one rested as far as I can see). Will be interesting to see if it gives them more cohesion. You'd have to think that if the game is tight in the last 20 next week fatigue would effect them!
Here's hoping anyway

As I said a couple of weeks, he's not injured, just being managed carefully. Obviously that could have changed, but certainly was the case recently.wixfjord wrote:I really, really hope we're just wrapping Isa in cotton wool for fear of anything happening to him before Sarries...
Strange to have DK and Adam on the bench. I like the idea of Joey at fullback and keeping Ross at ten, but not sure we should go down that route for this game given that one of them is likely to miss out next week.
If there's no hangover (literally) from last week then I'd expect us to dominate from the start and for the Ospreys to lose interest. Always tricky to reintegrate players and perform when there's a much more important game next week though.
Excited to see Porter start, he's only got a handful of starts as a pro

Bookies have Leinster as 7 point favourites for this one.

It should be an interesting game, our pack is very strong - though they have AWJ and Tipuric, their backline is very strong - though we have the likes of Carbery and McGrath.
I hope Ross Byrne is over whatever was ailing him over the last couple of games.

Re: Ospreys Away - Sat 24th March 2018, 7.35pm S4C
Hopefully that's the case, but still I'd like to see him at least get a run out this week.LeRouxIsPHat wrote:As I said a couple of weeks, he's not injured, just being managed carefully.
