    Just wondering who you think will win this years Celtic League since it is starting up soon. Will the Ospreys be strong again this year? or will one of the Irish teams come good again. Personally I think the Irish sides will be strong again but I fancy the Ospreys to keep up their challenge. I guess game five will show us how two of the top teams are fixed: Leinster v Ospreys

    I don't think the Ospreys will be the same force this season as last.

    So, naturally the CL is Munsters to lose :D

    The Ospreys will walk it! Leinster are rebuilding, Ulster will improve but won't win it and Munster don't have the class of the ospreys even though they have better forwards.

    *The 1 thing against the Welsh clubs this year is the number of games the players will have to play. This may work against the Ospreys.

    Watched Munster tonight and remain to be convinced of our abilities. However Munster beat the Ospreys 3 times last season (2 HEC and 1 CL). having been at the 2 home games I think the Ospreys' forwards are beatable, and once the game is lost there it is very hard for the backs to win it.

    We will struggle to beat them next week though, particulary without our first-choice tight 5 and O'Gara.

    Munster again - they will start well be poor in the middle and finish strongly again when the internationals return.
    That or Ospreys - Leinster have a huge up hill battle with so many players that left and BOD out.

    am I not right in saying that Munster struggled against the Borders, who scored a try to their none, and failed to score even with a huge percentage of possession? I know it was an experimental team and all, just commenting.

    great to hear that Wallace was playing on the wing :D .
