I reckon a losing bonus point is as good a result as can be expected at the moment >jawdrop

If non of the injured list recover to play, even channeling "l'esprit de clocher" and all that, I don't think what we have is good enough to get the job done*.


*unless Connacht implode.
A LBP would be handy alright but I'm not even sure we will get near one. Having seen the injury list there is some good/bad news. We need some of the maybes to be fit in order to be competitive. Marcell would massively help the pack and the same goes for Addison in the backs.

I'm also assuming McCloskey was just rested against Munster. It's a pity Hendo wasn't rested as well.

See jordi is still out with an ankle problem. Is this the same one that got taped up on his debut and continued to play on? Fecking amateurs.

18 injured players. We need more than a physio. A bucket of Aspirin and two trained nurses.

It’s ok. Bryn has been rifling through the drawers of Logie’s old office and in amongst the 57 varieties of CV’s he found that scrap of paper with Neil Walsh’s number on it again.

Assumming Connacht will send a full strength team up and win.

I don't think Connacht will send a full strength team up.

Plenty of nurses on the terraces and in the stands, might finish up with more injures players though if they let them in the changing rooms

Played the full side v :blueafro: on Saturday. Their back-up TH should be getting a rest. He was sent off on Saturday and faces the hanging judges today.

They may rotate their squad with a home game in the Parker Pen (which they may have a shot at winning) v Bordeaux next week or could see this a good chance to finally win in Belfast since the 60s.

So given the injury situation, could be looking at a possible 23:

EOS, Best, Kane, Treadwell, AOC, Deysel, Reidy, Timoney, Cooney, Burns, Kernohan, McCloskey, Curtis, Stockdale, Gilroy

Andrew, Warwick, TOT, Rea, Ross, Shanahan, J McP, The Admiral
