Ospreys v Leinster Sat 3pm - Live on Sky

[goreyguy]

What I think we'll go with:

1. Healy
2. Cronin
3. Ross
4. Molony
5. Triggs
6. Rhys
7. Josh
8. Conan
9. JGP
10. Carbery
11. Isa
12. Reid
13. ROL
14. Ferg
15. Kirchner

Bench
16. Tracy
17. Dooley
18. Bent
19. Kearney
20. Leavy
21. McGrath L
22. R. Byrne
23. T. Daly

If Carberry is going to backup 10 to Sexton he needs to play there a bit as fun as it is to see him tearing it up at 15. Has he had a game there since his injury?

Jaysis I hope we go a bit more full bore for the 2nd most important game in the rest of our season.

I think we are more likely to see something like that, hope I'm wrong though.

[Ruckedtobits]

Joey needs to get as much top class full-back experience as possible. Ideally this should be with players he's likely to be selected with.

[wise7]

Agree on Joey needing to continue at 15 as to depart now from the two playmaker scenario that has been enacted for all recent games doesn't seem to add up with the liklelihood that JC at 15 and JS at 10 will be the strategy again for Clermont.

[goreyguy]

weird team.

[QBer]

Who's our replacement scrum half?

[wixfjord]

Strong side. Kirchner at 13 and ROL on the wing is a strange one. Wonder are they looking at him there for Clermont? (ROL I mean). A lot of beef in that pack. Again, I wonder are they giving Mick Kearney a chance to stake a claim for bench spot.

Luke McGrath rested? Hopefully.

[blockhead]

Stronger team than I was fearing TBH.

[wixfjord]

Strong Os side. This will be tough.

I'd fancy our pack against theirs, but they're much stronger at 9/10.

[wixfjord]

If I were Jack McGrath, I'd be fancying a cut off Mujati, particularly with Ruddock and Toner/Kearney behind me.

Also, I reckon we can make a good bit of hay from targeting Fonotia/Giles/Davies defensively. First two in particular are dodgy.

[Laighin Break]

Who's our replacement scrum half?

Nick McCarthy

[curates_egg]

Balls out.

Luke McGrath rested? Hopefully.

thats hopefully the explanation or a longer term view

dont like JGP & Carberry as a starting combo though

Nor do I. The one thing they could do though is make use of quick ball if our pack is on top. Some serious breaking threat between them.

[paddyor]

Surprised at the inclusion of Furlong, Toner and Henshaw. Is Reid injured?

[LeinsterLeader]

Balls out.

Well, one ball anyway. But it's the larger of the two

[alanair]

mmm let me think, who would I prefer @ 12 ...Henshaw or Reid ... doh................

[cormac]

Need to target their front five, so happy with the selection of the pack. A little concerned at scrum-half. Gibson-Park has been fairly hit and miss when he's started games.

[goreyguy]

mcgrath is being rested.

be interested to see how mccarthy gets on, if he gets on.

headless, can be excellent and awful possession to possession.
