    I'm actually more impressed by Gilly's return. Absolutely deserves the captain's armband. There's a feck load of pace in the leinster team sheet, including the forwards. That's the most balanced Leinster A side I've seen this season. Pity its on a Friday.

    Don't really get why Munster would select Henry and Barnes ahead of Casey and Bohane when they're leaving, I suppose they really want to win this! Could say the same about Fionn Carr but there isn't any fit backs left in Leinster. Collie O'Shea had his third operation in 6 months according to his twitter.

    Not having one of Ryan or Ruddock is a bit odd.

    If SOB has a knock they might want someone extra available as injury cover.

    I've learned not to take the A teams as gospel. Someone could be added to that team when the senior team is announced or when SOB has a fitness test or something similar.

    Not sure if he is a 13 he is still very raw and I wouldn't be convinced that it will work

    Plays plenty at 13, FB and wing. Hope he is developed as a 13. God we need them coming through.

    Hope everyone realizes I'm being tongue-in-cheek with the hype btw! :P

    He's played for Leinster at 13 at u18s level, against Ulster, and was very good. This obviously a step up, but it's only a good thing for him to get game time there. If he does progress as a back three player in the next year or two it'll be very handy that he can cover 13, especially with BOD knocking on retirements door, and Macken/EOM still struggling to stay fit/in form for a season.

    Reid is usually very good at this level when playing 12 so I hope for a good game from him too.

    He aint a 10 or FB for me in anyway.

    What do we make of Williams selection for Munster? Does that put him behind Sheridan?

    In my opinion it suggests that Sheridan will be on the HEC bench

    Sheridan is definitely second choice at this stage, yes.

    I assume DOCII will travel over to Montpellier as cover.

    This fixture last year yielded some great stars for the future, namely Kilcoyne, Moore, and LOD. Hopefully a few more catch the eye this year.

    Sheridan got ahead of williams during the six nations I think.

    Was on the bench v Leinster and Quins and started v Dragons

    Well he didn't get on v Quins or Leinster so it was kind of ignored by a lot of punters.

    I see Dineen is named and it begs the question whether that means Earls is fit??)

    Looking forward to this game, hope it's a repeat of last year without the extra time. Delighted to see Byrne in the flesh, just hope Dineen and Barnes don't allow him to shine too much. Great to see Dougall back, I thought he'd miss a few more games.
    Deasy has slipped further down the pecking order with JJ starting a OH.

    G'wan Munster

    Surely if Earls wasn't fit then Dineen would have travelled to France as cover

    Actually, reading your post again, I picked you up incorrectly, I thought you were questioning Earls' fitness rather taking Dineen inclusion on the A team as a sign that Earls is fit.

    Apologies.

    Maybe I was just being braindead but I didn't know Girv coached the A's. I knew he was involved with development but not this. Good to see anyway.

    Well it happened mid-season I think so understandable. Collie got the elite development role with the IRFU, Girve was the backs/attack coach for the A's and got promoted.
