    Munster by more than 10

    I don't know. Looking at those line-ups I think Clermont have the edge pretty much everywhere except the second row. And they most certainly have the edge on the bench. The difference in the second rows isn't huge either. I can't see Munster dominating the line-out like they did against Quins. What platform is going to get them the scores?

    Agree with all that certainly, I even think Clermont have the edge in 9 out of the 15 positions, theres just something about the balance of Munster on paper that I like, less disturbance to their natural shape perhaps.

    Platform wise I dont think they will boss the scrums, I think they will get 50/50 on the lineouts, I think O'Gara and Murray have it in them to pin them back in ways they are not used to and give them good positions to phase cleverly in the Clermont half, and to make the most of indiscipline by Clermont. However I think Munster could give them a huge shock in the dark arts at the ruck. Beyond that a titanic defence and a bit of good luck! Wouldnt be the first time..........
