COME ON YOU TIGERRRRrrrrsssss

:stout:
You will dominate the scrums. Lineouts should be even enough. I'm hoping the breakdown will be strong for us. It's the first time we have Jordi, Best, Henderson and Coetzee playing together. It will be a good contest anyway.

Heavy rain for 24hrs+ could mean pitch cutting up and a lot of scrums going down.

A lot on how the ref sees that playing out - resets or penalties? :whistle:

Just what are you insinuating about the quality of the pitch?

I think it helps us, if we are planning any sort of activity over the weekend. For example we may wish to postpone some outdoor elements until Sunday, or leave a little extra time for our journeys.

Looking at the weather forecast last night, there is an area around Belfast that mightn't get too much rain. Mid-Ulster seems to be getting the worst.

Lowry at fullback, a tiny youngster out of his natural position, making his full debut in bad conditions is a risky selection.

Baggy it is a major failing of many on the is board to only base their opinion on a players failings and his worst performances

Watched Leinster last night many of their forwards on first phase failed to break rhe gain line but the support players ensured possession was retained and quick second phase.

Its not only about getting across the gain line -- its about co-ordinated team work to retain possession.

Leinster ran riot and could have had a cricket score if the players making the break had remembered -- "break -pass - and support" -- when they had players beside them with time and space to pass . A couple tried to out run the defence and ran away from support and the opportunity to score was lost.

Its an interesting backline but one full of question marks since its the first time the combination has lined out.
