Bar is somewhere below the floor here.

Another week another must win for Munster. Gives us the chance to jump Glasgow. Presume they'll have their internationals back, and we will just be down O'Mahony and Murray.

Imagine we will field:

1. Kilcoyne
2. Barron
3. Salanoa
4. Kleyn
5. Wycherly
6. JOD
7. Hodnett
8. Coombes
9. Casey
10. Carbery
11. Daly
12. Fekitoa
13. Frisch
14. Nash
15. Haley

16. Buckley
17. JWych
18. Knox
19. RG (Tempted to start but I imagine his time will be managed heavily for a few games)
20. Kendellen
21. Patterson
22. Crowley
23. Zebo

Wasn't expecting this team. Stormers making the game very interesting. Anticipated a second string, but this is the best we can put out barring injuries.

Alot more options available. Crowley may start 12 and Ahern is pushing. All internationals (including Healy) were back Tuesday training except for 2 lads

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Very surprised we are putting forward our best side injury permitting (and quite a list we have there). I have mixed feelings about it to be honest but it is good for the integrity of the tournament and as such I will put aside my misgivings.

Quite a round, round 16; 1 hosting 2, 5 and 4 and ending with 3 and 6 though the Bulls' form being what it is I can hardly believe they are still at 6.

[Tooting Carmen]

Zebre playing surprisingly well so far.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Too many unforced errors from us that 2nd half on top of that wind though TBF we had the advantage of the wind first up and got good value.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Cardiff held on at the end to win 30-34. There were pockets of impressive play by both teams.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Didn't get to watch but will take the draw there. Was expecting a loss with the strong Stormers side and the grand slam hangover.

Heard Penny, Turner and Russell went well, Turner has had a standout season and made Ngatai's injury manageable.

 

[General Melchett]

Vailanu is a machine. What a player.

 

[Bluemoon]

Fair play to the Scarlets, that was a pretty stacked Sharks team. Fantastic win.

Glasgow beat Munster, 38-26. Enjoy your meal.

I prefer my birds medium to well done Glasgow.
