4 of the 5 ulster forwards on the bench have had next to no gametime in recent months. I hope none are needed early doors as fitness is bound to be lagging a bit. Munster have gone 6 /2 split which shows their intentions.

Wheeled out for a send off.

and Lest We Forget, it will officially be DAY 5571.
Hopefully it will also be a night to remember.

Just checked - M Rea is not Marcus this week

Always feel he us a great bench option. Very dynamic guy to come on for the last 20 or30 against tired legs

Can't wait for day 6666 - the number of the Brennan

[jean valjean]

Feeling a bit nervous now. No rea Jr or duane in back row and the bench is weak. Munster coming to strangle us and it will be a huge test of mental reserves after last week, especially as munster need the win more than we do.

[nonplussed]

A Munster win given their team announcement..

Shame, he has been a revelation this season. Nothing fancy, but when he counter rucks or goes to clean out a ruck he always makes an impact.

A lot will depend on how Lowry settles in at 10, a good performance from him & I back the rest of the lads to turn it on.

Have faith.

Munster: Mike Haley; Keith Earls, Chris Farrell, Damian de Allende, Shane Daly; Joey Carbery, Craig Casey; Jeremy Loughman, Diarmuid Barron, Stephen Archer; Jean Kleyn, Thomas Ahern; Jack O’Donoghue (C), John Hodnett, Alex Kendellen.

Replacements: Scott Buckley, Josh Wycherley, John Ryan, Jason Jenkins, Fineen Wycherley, Conor Murray, Ben Healy, Chris Cloete.

6-2 bench split, going to be an old skool inter pro then.

Yep, this has drained my confidence a bit tbh.
Hopefully the lads are fired up and have a point to prove without getting all silly and giving away penalties and cards.

[Setanta]

No worries, I can watch again!
