Gary IC, Larmour OC

Who'd have covered hooker?

doesn't seem like they had anyone to cover hooker..

BB was captaining A team, Strauss injured.

Strauss was in Bilbao and togged out. I felt sorry for him at the end as he looked a bit lost and not really joining in on the celebrations.

was he togged out? seen him in a suit.

[D4surfer]

Definitely togged out and not in a suit.

Yep, he took part in the warm-up

[mildlyinterested]

Breaking: Robbie Henshaw out of the PRO14 semi-final between Leinster v Munster. Isa Nacewa and Johnny Sexton are major doubts.

[leinsterforever]

Jaysus, we're boned if Nacewa doesn't pull through.

Reid, Ringrose
Ringrose, O'Loughlin
Daly, Ringrose
COB, Ringrose
Frawley, Ringrose

...as options, but none of them would inspire confidence. It's a pity COB hasn't got a bit more experience under his belt by now

Pity we haven't been able to develop a 12 to unseat Reid.

[riocard911]

10. Ross Byrne, 12. Joey Carbery, 13. Garry Ringrose anyone?

10. Ross Byrne, 12. Joey Carbery, 13. Garry Ringrose anyone?

start carbery at 12 for the first time ever in a pro 14 semi final...

are we going to pretend like the pro 14 matters or not?

[leinsterforever]

Think I'd actually be edging towards picking Frawley. Confidence has been mentioned as one of his attributes. That's what a young guy being thrown into the deep end needs if he's to perform

[neiliog93]

10. Ross Byrne, 12. Joey Carbery, 13. Garry Ringrose anyone?

Please no. Carbery has never played 12. I would prefer Frawley but I think they'll go for Ringrose at 12 and one of ROL or Larmour (probably ROL) at 13. Another possibility is putting Lowe in at 13, where he has played a bit before. But his defensive weaknesses would only be more highlighted there.

[Oldschool]

Assuming that J10, Henshaw, Isa and Luke perhaps are n/a.
Kearney
Rol
Larmour
Ringrose
Daly
Carberry
JGP
Healy
Cronin
Porter
Fardy
Rysn
Ruddock
Leavy
Murphy (ladt home game)
Tracy, Healy, Furlong, Toner, Conan, Mccarthy, Byrne, Another.

I think Lowe will play which probably means resting Fardy.

[Lar]

Healy will also struggle at LH as well as being on the bench.

3.15, but don't sign off a request with 'answers soon please' especially when you could have just googled what you wanted to find out.

[leinsterforever]

It would be nice to be able to pick Lowe, but needing to manage the workload of the locks and McGrath not being fully fit make it difficult to leave out one of Fardy and JGP

Think I'd go something like:

1. McGrath
2. Tracy
3. Furlong
4. Toner
5. Ryan
6. Ruddock
7. Murphy
8. Conan
9. McGrath/Gibson-Park
10. Byrne
11. O'Loughlin
12. Frawley
13. Ringrose
14. Larmour
15. Kearney

16. Cronin
17. Healy
18. Porter
19. Fardy
20. Leavy
21. Gibson-Park/McCarthy
22. Carbery
23. B. Daly

(Sexton and Nacewa instead Byrne and Frawley if they're fit enough)

Quite a lot of changes, but I think it's important to keep the pack fresh ( Racing, Munster and the Pro14 Final is almost like a 3 Test series) and the reshuffling in the backs is essentially down to injuries.

Due to returns from Munster (!!!) some tickets will be on general sale from 10am tomorrow




Apparently to the Brave and Faithful facing the European Champions is a scary prospect
