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?

Some of these "tip tackle" decisions are getting ridiculous after the WC. Penalties if you like, but not YCs.

Re: Leinster vs Ospreys match thread
That is possibly the worst yellow I have ever seen! Tip tackle my backside!
The game is getting softer and softer, time to do away with the contested scrum, then the ruck ala league, then it'll be time to put the flags on your belt and play touch only!
GARBAGE!

Re: Leinster vs Ospreys match thread
Alyn, agree with you there. Ospreys were totally dominant in that game.
This yellow card and that call for 'crossing' then were both ridiculous. The league is suffering due to these awful refs. With regards to getting Irish refs in Irish fixtures, they also give us James Jones to officiate games between Irish and Welsh teams. Nigel Owens has done in the past too. I guess it's the lack of Scottish officials letting us down.

Fair dues to the O's, they are not being out done whilst being a man down.

Re: Leinster vs Ospreys match thread
Ospreys still in this if they get back to 15.
Webb is speeding the game up - He really should be first choice for the O's. Hopefully Tandy will realise what Holley never did.

Cronin is the Hooker equivalent of Gethin - should be challenging Best in the future.

Actually I think the Irish refs are the worsed, most biased and incompetent of the lot.
Fitzgibbon? Dangerous Dudley? Wilkinson?
Jesus christ...
The best referee and I have seen this season is Italian Marius Mitrea

I can assure you there is no way in hell the Ospreys will be allowed to win this game.
Though to be fair the boys are giving it a go, a lot better than the pathetic home effort against Glasgow.
