That gives them a 5 day turn around from their game on Sunday v Connacht. With injuries to Kleyn, Snyman and beirne it’s going to be a tough turnaround for them after the must win match on Sunday

Re: Pro 14 Semi-final vs ???
I'd imagine it will be in the Aviva, it has more room for safer distancing both in terms of changing rooms etc and in the bowl
I have Bumbleflex
Re: Pro 14 Semi-final vs ???
We can have it in the bowl if things don't all go down the pan

Re: Pro 14 Semi-final vs ???
I think we better keep my fingers crossed Munster do the business tomorrow. Scarlets look to be in much better nick!
Re: Pro 14 Semi-final vs ???
Team for next weekend?
I'd go:
Healy, Cronin, Porter, Toner, Fardy, Doris, VDF, Conan, McGrath, Sexton, Lowe, Henshaw, Ringrose, Larmour, RK
Byrne, Kelleher, Furlong/Bent, Baird, Deegan, JGP, Byrne, ROL
I'd go:

Re: Pro 14 Semi-final vs ???
No but I think in fairness it's worth giving him another shot. He'll see far more of the aerial challenge against Munster & Sarries, and we can hope he has one more big game in him.
Otherwise I'm now sure who plays 14 assuming Larmour drops back. Kelleher?

Re: Pro 14 Semi-final vs ???
I just hope we’ve seen the last of the box kicking carry on !! -it’s pure Munster - is boring as hell , and doesn’t work !!
Re: Pro 14 Semi-final vs ???
I'd probably have Connors ahead of Deegan on the bench based on showings so far. Agree with Porter ahead of Furlong.

Re: Pro 14 Semi-final vs ???
The organisers and respective governments in the UK and Ireland must be hoping for a Munster win today. If they lose (or, at least, if they fail to get 2 league points from the match) they will have to figure out how Leinster can play Scarlets in Ireland without a 14 day quarantine period. The other semi has worked out quite neatly as there are no quarantine requirements between Scotland and Northern Ireland so Edinburgh v Ulster can go ahead unfettered.
If it is Leinster v Munster and Edinburgh v Ulster the same bodies will be hoping for Ulster to win for the reasons outlined above, in order that the final can be Ulster v Leinster/Munster, most likely in Ravenhill.
