So for next weekend we are down Kendellen through Irish duty (fair enough) and Jager, O'Mahony, Quinn, Daly, J Wycherley, Abrahams for a certainty with relatively fresh injuries. Ahern, Nankivell, Haley, Burns all maybes. Rory Scannell, Paddy Patterson, Liam Coombes, Diarmuid Kilgallen, Brian Gleeson, Cian Hurley, Edwin Edogbo, Roman Salanoa and Pa Campbell all long term injured.
I think Saturday could be about damage limitation and trying to salvage a point. I think we will hang around and it will be a tight game until the benches roll on, where we will be really weak.
