Is Ross M injured I wonder? Surprised he's not at least benching.

Our lineout will need a bit of a restructure and I hope it doesn't cause problems.LeRouxIsPHat wrote: ↑February 26th, 2021, 12:31 pm Bent being back should help Penny at the back of the scrum and he's good at the back of a maul so that might bode well. He's very strong when he gets wrapped up so if he does get into trouble I'd say he'll be good at just holding onto the ball until supports gets around him. No doubt we look like we're lacking a ball carrier around the park though.
Hopefully with so many ballers in the backs we can keep the ball alive and change the point of contact so that the lack of an 8 doesn't matter so much. That front five should really give a good platform for it.
We tend to have our 8 jumping at 2. Penny to my knowledge has not taken a single lineout ball for Leinster - in fairness we rarely deploy our 7 as a jumper.
But I'm assuming Penny and Josh M will be switching roles at that setpiece
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick

This is going to be a tough test given they've got some of their Scottish players back.
Look out Itchy, he's Irish

Given the lack of experience in their back three and the fact we have four good kickers in our backline I'd hope we can make a bit of hay there.
Lovely balance to our backline btw, plenty of game breakers and experience.
Besides Penny being out of position that starting 15 has a nice look to it.

There's a fair old bit of beef to come off our bench in Sheehan, Dunne and Soroka!

Big game for Dunne, needs to show he is progressing and ready to step up next season IMO.

Think it’s deserved, came on and played well in the centre which is where we need the bench cover. We can move either winger to fullback and ROL out wide if needs be.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑February 26th, 2021, 1:40 pm notable that Osborne is on the bench ahead of O'Reilly.

Agreed, Osborne has experience at all positions from 11 to 15 also.Jonny tight lips wrote: ↑February 26th, 2021, 1:47 pmThink it’s deserved, came on and played well in the centre which is where we need the bench cover.

Penny at 8 on our ball should have an armchair ride. Possibly see him at openside on their attacking scrums.
Re: Glasgow at Home, Sunday the 28th, 5.30pm
Scott coming off the back of our scrums could be very interesting. Serious turn of pace and has a bit of a step too.

If Penny doesn’t work out I wouldn’t mind seeing Sheehan given a crack instead, could really suit him actually.
Re: Glasgow at Home, Sunday the 28th, 5.30pm
Save no. 8 for the little brother I reckonLeRouxIsPHat wrote: ↑February 26th, 2021, 2:07 pm If Penny doesn’t work out I wouldn’t mind seeing Sheehan given a crack instead, could really suit him actually.

Oh really?

Glasgow fans seem excited about their young inexperienced back 3. Cole Forbes is an interesting one, only recently signed with them, having previously represented NZ u20s.
