Leinster and Munster to grab the spoils!

Leinster travel to take on Connacht in the last match of the Pro 12 this weekend on Saturday. The word from Cullen is that more players will be rested ahead of the semi final against Clermont. That evens the match up a lot, and it looks like it's going to be daddy day care for Isa Nacewa at the back for Leinster.

It just hasn't been Connacht's season, with player losses, injuries, and ultimately the announcement of Pat Lam's departure. They are in probably a losing battle to get that last Champions Cup spot. That of course doesn't mean they wouldn't love to beat Leinster and they'll do their utmost to achieve that. It'll be the ultimate test of Leinster's depth, but I have the feeling the juniors will get the job done.

Earlier on that day, Ulster have the unenviable task of traveling to Munster to try and grab that last top four spot. Munster have a fair amount of injuries and will want to rest players too, so the opportunity is there, but it just hasn't been happening for Ulster lately. I think they'll lose, but the Osprey will finally some right too so it won't hurt them too much.
