Leinster vs Ospreys match thread
First topic message reminder :
Hey all,
Thanks god club rugby is back (from an Irish perspective!) needed this.
Seems to be a lot happening Leinster's side of things, with BOD looking like he will come back into the team and the same being said for Cullen. Huge experience re-entering the team after youth has been keeping us more than just a float for a number of months. Very healthy to see. It will interesting to see where they slot in and (if they are on the bench as I imagine they will) who they will be paired with.
Thorn also looks set to make his Leinster debut giving the 3 players mentioned a run up of this game and the Munster derby in Thomond to the HCup 1/4 final.
From an Ospreys side of things, munster losing to Aironi a week back has given them a huge lifeline and they now have a chance to fight for 2nd place and a home semifinal which would prove invaluable I am sure. Bowe has decided he is leaving and there does seem to be an exodus of sorts coming from the Wlesh clubs who together have created a fantastic Grand slam winning team? Will anyone come back from that squad and play a part on Friday.
What are your score perdictions?
What team would you like to see?
If Ospreys were to win how big an impact could it have on the top 3?
Where can either team win it?

Re: Leinster vs Ospreys match thread
well yes...I won't mind if he O'Driscoll doesn't overdo it tonight... and that it works out ok for him. But a little spice I'll enjoy too as would he.

Pitch looks greash. McFadden kicking I see. Or not. One of the few this season. Where's BOD? Normally scores on his return. Its been a while. Oooh Madigan!

Re: Leinster vs Ospreys match thread
Walker has dropped the ball twice in a minute.
Not really been impressed by him for the O's - but they will have no Williams, Bowe or Walker next season.

Re: Leinster vs Ospreys match thread
Handy having an Irish ref at home, I noticed the first scrum Leinster went in early and did not get pinged. Shane Byrne thinks the ref is wrong on the scrums.
