Personally I think the decision not to expose or play Sheridan this week might be sound with the next two games in mind and McCann still injured.
He's been omitted from selection for the last while, so I don't see why he'd suddenly bring someone in from the relative cold to play 2 big European games.
Although this is Dan McFarland we are talking about, so orthodox selection policies do not apply. He'll probably have Greg and Angus in the matchday 23 next week.

Anything short of a final or trophy and McFarland is off-ski at the end of the season.
The same was said last season tbf.
Remember how woeful we were over November to 6N period last season, and he didn't achieve either of the above, and made a complete hash of the home league QF.
Dalton is getting an unfair press in these comments. Perhaps you may have more justification at the end of his season with Angouleme and perhaps not. McBurney also. He took a chance and moved to Scotland. True it hasn’t proved a great idea so far . Some of cimanforever’s remarks are relevant and it’s unfair to be too critical. I would want to take issue with rumncoke over Tommy Seymour. He would have been selected if he’d stayed. It may have taken a little longer but he was definitely a class winger who would have made it wherever.
Weather looking to be pretty bad with heavy rain for most of the game. Expect a slug fest with leinsters rucking and cohesiveness suiting the conditions better than ours.
