Zebre v Leinster Feb 16th

[cormac]

Looking at the Ireland selection we should be able to field a stronger team for this one compared to the Scarlets game, especially as it's a break weekend in the 6N.

Not sure if we'll get any of the players benching (may depend on injuries elsewhere) but would expect an available squad for this match something along the lines of:

Prop: McGrath, Byrne, Dooley, Bent, Abdaladze
Hooker: Tracy, Byrne
Lock: Fardy, Molony, Kearney, Dowling
Flanker: Ruddock, Leavy, Murphy, Penny
No.8: Conan, Deegan, Doris

SH: Gibson-Park, O'Sullivan
FH: Byrne, Frawley
Centres: O'Brien, Reid, O'Loughlin
Back 3: Kearney R, Kearney D, Lowe, Daly, Byrne

If Ireland subs are released then the likes of Porter, Cronin and Larmour come into contention too.

Can't see us having Porter, Cronin, Larmour. And who knows re: McGrath/Kearney.

Still we should have enough for this game.
