Cheetahs looked unlucky at Connacht. I think we will finally see them picking up a scalp or two in Europe, but maybe not this week.

Already a huge game for Benetton if they are to stand a realistic chance of returning to the playoffs.

15. Jimmy O'Brien (10)

That red card to Dries Swanepoel was the tipping point in the match.

He's now been suspended for 3 weeks.

Young South African fella stands out there. Could do with Loughman announcing himself this season, times running out and we need loosies quick.

First start for Knox as Van Graan rings the changes for trip to Cardiff
Johann van Graan has made eleven changes to his Munster team to take on Cardiff Blues.
1 hour ago 3,593 10

IT'S ALL CHANGE for Munster as Johann van Graan has made 11 changes to the team that beat Ospreys for Saturday's Guinness Pro14 trip to play Cardiff Blues [KO 7.35pm, TG4, Eir Sport 1 & Premier Sport 1].

Jack O'Donoghue, Dan Goggin, Calvin Nash and Shane Daly are the only players to keep their place in the team, with O'Donoghue captaining the province for the second time in his career.

There is an all-new front row as Academy prop Keynan Knox is handed a first Pro14 start alongside Jeremy Loughman and Kevin O'Byrne.

Darren O'Shea partners Fineen Wycherley in the second row, with Chris Cloete and Arno Botha lining out beside O'Donoghue in the back row.

Alex Wootton makes a first appearance on the wing since March after recovering from a knee injury, with Nash on the opposite wing and Daly shifted into full-back.

Sammy Arnold is also handed a first start of the season in midfield beside Dan Goggin, while Alby Mathewson and JJ Hanrahan are the starting half-backs.

Did you try and copy a team from 42 on mobile?
Exciting team. More Daly more good times. Knox will be interesting. Huge arse on the lad. In terms of looseheads I'd say O'Connor on the bench will be quality.
 
Glasgow has already dug themselves into a hole and need to beat the Southern Kings...or this season could slip away fast. Let's Go Warriors!

Really need to kick on now. Edinburgh have looked the better Scottish side so far

Glasgow beat the Southern Kings 50-0 last night. The Warriors are back at full strength and looked like it from the start of this match.
 
My thoughts on the Leinster game are as follows:

Harry Byrne, Ryan Baird and Ronan Kelleher are really good at rugby.
 
Disappointing loss to Connacht this evening, but still it should be taken into account they were much closer to full-strength than were the Ospreys. Hopefully the return of our internationals will improve matters.
 
Underrated win for Munster. Didn't watch it but we don't do well in Cardiff normally so delirah with a bonus point
 
Really disappointing result for Edinburgh. Had several chances to win the game but butchered them in what looked like terrible conditions.
