Would you not have a starting backrow of Doris, VDF, Conan. Harsh on Conan being on the bench. Ruddock on the bench.

Would have thought that both Porter and Sheehan would be back for this given they have over a month to recover.mildlyinterested wrote: ↑March 3rd, 2022, 10:50 am Bad news on injury front for this game with Porter/Kelleher out until after the 6 nations at least..

Re: European Cup Round of 16 - 1st Leg: Connacht Away, Friday April 8th, 8pm
This is a long way off and lots will change but I would favour a more mobile pack so Baird and Conan to start ahead of Molony and Ruds.
Re: European Cup Round of 16 - 1st Leg: Connacht Away, Friday April 8th, 8pm
I think one way Connacht could snatch this is if we open up and play their game. We’ve a clear advantage in the pack and should use that as a weapon. Rhys in particular is a vital player imo.
Re: European Cup Round of 16 - 1st Leg: Connacht Away, Friday April 8th, 8pm
I don't see that you lose all that much in the tight by playing Doris and Conan, and you gain quite a bit more in the loose.

Am I right in thinking we want Clermont to beat Leicester in round of 16 so that we have home Q/F but that we have no chance of home S/F regardless of results to get there?
Re: European Cup Round of 16 - 1st Leg: Connacht Away, Friday April 8th, 8pm
If we make the semi-final it'll definitely be played in Ireland. We'll either be "away" to one of Munster or Ulster or home to one of Exeter or Toulouse.Ruckedtobits wrote: ↑March 7th, 2022, 8:41 am Am I right in thinking we want Clermont to beat Leicester in round of 16 so that we have home Q/F but that we have no chance of home S/F regardless of results to get there?
Look out Itchy, he's Irish

And the Ed Sheeran concert takes Thomond officially off the table.
For the QF too.

I would have been more excited but for some reason I thought the capacity was about 8,500 anyway
