No disrespect for the Scarlets, but it’s a bit of a comedown
after the AB’s last week. For Leinster, BOD, Rob Kearney, Heaslip, O’Brien and
Toner will be rested, and Mike Ross will start on the bench. You can never take the Scarlets lightly, but
without their internationals we should see them off. A complete aside now, but
I see that Isa Nacewa is now the backs coach for the Auckland Blues. I hope
Leinster kept his number, maybe in the distant future (August next year) we can
tempt him back.
Munster have named a
strong side to play the Dragons, with G van den Heever, K Earls and Paul O’Connell
in the side, and Billy Holland captaining. They should win that. Connacht have
a shot at another victory and lift off from the bottom of the table with a trip
to Edinburgh which I think they’ll win.
Ulkster have a pretty hefty injury list – Best, Henderson,
Stevenson, Allen and Nick Williams. However, as they’re playing Zebre I think
Mark Anscombe could pick himself and still be confident of the victory.
A final word too, on Ireland v the Abs. Last year, they beat
us by three points, this by two. You can see the inevitable sequence that will
give us a draw in 2015, and one point victory in 2016! Seriously though, I
really believe that with Joe Schmidt on board, we are going to beat the All
Blacks, and it won’t be by one point either. You read it here first!
