Wins for Leinster, Munster and Connacht!

It's going to be a tough night at the RDS on Friday as Leinster take on the Scarlets for a place in the final. The Scarlets are the form team in Wales, and we'd better not take anything for granted, becasue that could hurt us badly.We have named an impressive team, and there are some potent names on the bench too, so we could get stronger as the match goes on. Is it me or has the team been picked with one eye on the final? Anyway, it will be a farewell for Triggs, who's been a fantastic signing for Leinster, and potentially also for Kirchner if he comes on. I think we're going to win, but we might sweat quite a bit!

Munster have the out of form Ospreys to overcome for a spot in the final. Again, they'd be well advised not to take the Welsh team lighlty, especially with Alwyn Jones in the team. They can play so much better than they have been doing. However, if Munster get anywhere near the heights of this season, they will account for the Welshmen with ease, especially at home.

Finally, Connacht travel to Northampton seeking redemption for a flat enough season. They too, can play so much better than they've shown, and Pat Lam will be eager to get them up for this match and leave on a high note. I really think they could do it!
