Friday
night kicks off with the mouth watering prospect of Munster v Ulster at
Thomond. There is going to be a titanic
battle up front! Munster have gone for size, with Stander and Copeland in the
backrow, taking on Nick Williams and Roger Wilson. Super match ups all over the field, and
Munster must have the advantage being at home, but the Ulstermen aren’t going
to leave anything on the field, so it should be close. Bit of a South African
feel to it, with four for Munster, and three for Ulster.
Leinster
have to get back on the horse straight away after a forgettable result and
performance in Italy last weekend. They have a decent home record – have they lost
at the RDS this season? And the Ospreys don’t have their Welsh internationals.
But they gave Ulster a really good game last weekend, so Leinster will have to
bring their A game. I’m hoping to see some of the returnees, guys like Jordi
Murphy, really put their hands up. And Jimmy Gopperth, if he plays, owes us
one! We should do it.
Finally
Connacht have to keep up their good run of results – the Scarlets are a team
they should beat now, going to be really
tough, but they should sneak it.
As far as
the internationals go – I think Wales have the best chance, hope I’m wrong but
I can see both results going South.
