Joey Carbery
Short and to the point this week..starting with the laughable punishment for Dylan Hartley. It's lip service by World Rugby to the issue of head injuries. He got 11 weeks for swearing at Wayne Barnes (and well deserved at that) and 6 weeks for smashing someone in the back of the head? What's going on?
That aside, there's a whole lot rugby to look forward to and nothing better than these back to back matches. Leinster seem to be losing fly halves at an alarming rate with Joey Carbery out for 8 weeks with an ankle injury. I know we lost out last time there was a back to back match with the Saints...but I think we kind of owe them one for Sean O'Brien this time.
I'd back Connacht to cause another upset against Wasps this weekend in Galway - hardly an upset anymore. Munster should have too much for Leicester, but it should be way closer than last weekend. Ulster will again be up against it, and they look the least likely of the Irish sides to pick up the win.
