You always did like a good flounce Peat
Hooker and the lack of second row is worrying alright. Nice backrow cover and backs options though.Hate to say it but that is 1 very weak Leinster bench.

Happy enough with the team though, better balance than last week, can't see us turning a 27 point loss to a win though.

We need an FB on the bench with Isa just back from injury so that explains Ringrose, I'd rather have had Reid at 12 with Fitz in for DK too but overall it's good. Moore'a game relies a lot on his fitness so we can only wait and see. I also don't like the reasoning of "they might be poor" to judge anyone, a coach needs to trust players to perform or they're useless and everyone was poor las week anyway. Madigan's stock has gone down unfairly since the World Cup too, the guy has only gotten better over the summer, is far stronger in defence and runs his backline better. If he improves his line kicking he'd have it all.I don't know. I think Moore has went back a bit and backs are ok but as much as they can be good they can be poor. Ringrose and Reid are unlucky. Starting backrow all have the game but need to deliver.
Reid was the best blue player on the pitch last week and the only one to outplay his opposite number.. I presume he's injured since he's not playing? Is Fitzgerald at 12.....normal? Very interested to see Garvey at 6 as I rarely get to catch him when he's in the backrow.
"Under pressure" is apparently a scrum offence... Sound!
This game is gonna be a cracker! Already started well
Completely forgot Stevens was at Toulon, would've thought they'd have binned him off as soon as the RWC was over.
