Leinster v Munster - is no one excited about this...

Wheres the provincial dislike are the D4 heads worrying about being able to afford another year for their kids in their public funded private education institutions or maybe they will have to stick with the 2010 reg BMW or Merc for another year...

Anyhow teams for tomorrow..

Leinster: R Kearney; I Nacewa, F McFadden, G D’Arcy, L Fitzgerald; J Sexton, I Boss; C Healy, R Strauss, M Ross, L Cullen ©, D Toner, S O’Brien, S Jennings, J Heaslip. Replacements-S Cronin, H van der Merwe, J Hagan, K McLoughlin, R Ruddock, E redden, I Madigan, E O’Malley.

Munster. J Murphy; D Howlett, W Chambers, L Mafi, K Earls; R O’Gara, C Murray; W du Preez, D Varley, BJ Botha; D O’Callaghan, P O’Connell capt; D Ryan, N Ronan, D Leamy. Replacements. D Fogarty, M Horan, J Hayes, P O’Mahony, J Coughlan, T O’Leary, I Keatley, D Barnes.


Annoyed with POM being on the bench as Ronan gives nothing extra also would prefer Coughlan to Leamy. Munster by 7.

It looks quite even on paper. If Munster can get a platform up front then they are in with a good shout I think, provided they don't throw the ball around like they did against Aironi. Yer man Murphy is a week link at the back though.

Leinsters backline looks considerably less creative without BOD and Horgan and with Nacewa on the wing but have a big edge in the backrow.

I think this will come down to a forward battle and a kicking dual between Sexton and ROG .

Come on sunshine keep up

Boring...

Munster are going to be pasted.

Probably accurate for the bulk of rugby followers, but a bit unfair on a few vociferous irish lads who will be quite interested.
