On the bench, 19-year-old Jamie Osborne is in line to make his Leinster Rugby Senior debut should he be introduced.
The former Naas CBS pupil, who has come through the Leinster Rugby club system with Naas Rugby Club, played with the North Midlands side in the Shane Horgan Cup.
Osborne is normally based down in the Ken Wall Centre of Excellence in Energia Park but has been training with the Senior team in UCD over the last few months and is involved in a Senior matchday 23 for the first time tomorrow.

Wonder what's the story with Dev>? Was he in any of the training photos?

Battle of the backrow should be good, that's a good Scarlets trio.
They've a good bit of experience in the backline too. Big test for Turner and MOR in particular.

True and there's enough in our selection to indicate what we could be a bit disjointed (TB's first game back, Newish pairing at second row, Newish Fullback and centre).
Add to that a number of guys who haven't played a whole lot of rugby lately (Conan, Leavy, HB, CK) and it could be a tricky assignment.
We need to do what we haven't done in quite some time....... Start fuppin fast and not give the opposition a big lead we have to try and claw back.

Callow enough team, but, in Plumber we trust.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Are o Sullivan and silvester injured? If not you would imagine this is a strong indication they will be let go at the end of the year.

The Scarlets second-row of Morgan Jones & Sam Lousi are an inexperienced pairing at this level. Jones however is 2.0m and 112kg, whilst Lousi is 1.99m, but a substantial 122kg. Jones at 21 is only two months older than Baird, but New Zealand born Tongan, Lousi, at 29, is a couple of years older than Molony.
Weather conditions are expected to be foul for most of tomorrow including match time. Normally, this would mean the front-five battle will be vital in securing the sort of ball that McGrath and Byrne want to set the tempo. However, I suspect the breakdown battle, particularly with Adamson as referee, will actually determine the contest.
Scarlets don't fear either their opponents or the Ref, so this will not be a 'gimme'.

Carwyn Tuipulotu on the bench is a big prospect for Wales, huge kid at 6'1, 125kg at 19 years old. He is a backrow.

With a first name like 'Carwyn' and a surname like Tuipolotu, no wonder they consider him a 'big prospect' in Llanelli.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑January 29th, 2021, 2:14 pm Carwyn Tuipulotu on the bench is a big prospect for Wales, huge kid at 6'1, 125kg at 19 years old.

Was Stu at the match in Mordor last week?
There's some beef in that pack, on paper that could be our scrummiest front row.

Match Preview
Well it wasn't pretty or even particularly deserved, but Leinster won again last week against Munster to extend the winning run to six games over their old rivals.
Munster got great praise and sympathy in the media for their performance and overall they were the better team for sure. But they never scored again after the first ten minutes and never really looked like scoring another try.
