Magners
Connacht take on the Blues at the Showgrounds. I think I count 8 internationals in the Blues starting 15 so they should win, although Connacht should give them a good game. Just a tip for the Connacht lads though – if you’re going to pick a fight with anyone, I’d stay clear of Bradley Davies, it sounds like he’s been putting in some out of hours practice on this aspect of his game.
The Parc y Scarlets welcomes Munster on Saturday, and the Scarlets are going to be in feisty form as they look to make the semis. They lodged a complaint against the ref for their loss against Ulster, so they are looking for one to go their way this time. Hard one to call, I actually fancy Munster, even though Wales is a hard to place to go and win, as they seem to have rediscovered their rhythm that was AWOL earlier in the season.
Ulster travel to Leinster in the evening with a tough task ahead of them as Leinster are unbeaten at home in the last 24 regular league matches. Plus they have the low of exiting the Heineken Cup versus the high Leinster are on for their good win over Leicester. Leinster really need this one as well so they can cement their place in the semi race. Lyrical gangsta or what! They’ve already sold 15000 tickets for the match, and Leinster, on a roll, and at home, should win no problem. I hope to see some of the flair that Ulster revealed last weekend, and all things being equal we could be in for some entertaining running rugby. It’s ladies night as well which’ll add to the festive atmosphere.(And on, Munster fans, it isn’t ladies night every time Leinster play at home) C’mon Leinster!
Exiles
London Irish are going to be taking on Sale at the Reebok. Sale are looking to attract a big crowd to this 40000+ stadium, and I wonder how Irish are going to react to all those fans. Sale pipped Gloucester at home last outing, while the Exiles swatted the Wasps- but then anyone can beat Wasps at the moment. I’m going with London Irish.
