On the subject of the starting line-up I think it's simple! Kidney for some reason feels he must balance the team and imo as a Munsterman is being put under pressure down south to play some munstermen in the team! He would be mauled by the loyal thomond crowd if he played ireland's 1st XV as it shud be in this game..that being Fitz, McFadden, BOD, Darcy, Earls, Sexton, Reddan, Healy, Best, Ross, Cullen, POC, O'Brien, Jennings, Heaslip. And you know the problem there?? 12 Leinster, 2 Munster and 1 Ulsterman and that just will not go down with the Munster faithful and they wont pay the IRFU for tickets to come and see it! For long enough we saw Ireland underachieve in international rugby forcing "the munster way" onto the national team!? We need either a Leinster coach, a foreign coach or one with a pair of balls!
