On the contrary, I think the backs are picked to stretch us out wide- and the pack to give them the ball to do that. They could do it too.MylesNaGapoleen wrote:Possibly. McCall is a much better coach than EJ and all the pressure is on him this weekend so I guess, with his named team, is to just beat the cr@p out of us and hope to steamroll a try or two before 50 mins.Oldschool wrote: 4 of the Irish front five play for Leinster.

About even with James Ryan giving us a slight edge.
We could be watching a preview of the Saracens v Leinster HEC final in a few months time.
Agree about Ryan giving us an edge but furlong also gives us an edge over sinclair imo.
Daly is a weak spot at FB...don't like the guy but he is a very good winger...not a FB.
If we contain for the first 20 mins or so, we have this game comfortably..it could open up in the last 20 for us to notch up a BP. So much quality in our lineup compared to the bish-bash-bosh they have.
And Jones is a better coach than McCall; a bit of a Mourinho in being a three-year max lad now- but a very good coach with a record with several teams beyond the Ulster man.
