Leinster vs. Lyon, Sunday 12th January, 13.00 (BT2)

Strong Leinster team, all in all, going more or less all out to try and ensure a top seeding spot, reflected by the 40 point bookies spread (not helped by Lyon sending a ... weakened ... side). The try scoring machine that is Dave Kearney starts as does Deegan. Ross Byrne will want to have a good performance to put him in the driving seat (if not already there) for the Irish 10 spot. With Cooney tearing it up for Ulster lately, McGrath hopefeully can do the same tomorrow.

While there's a sense of inevitability about Leinster at the moment, and after two games against Ulster and Connacht where they flew out of the blocks only to slow down a lot in the second half, as a fan you'd hope for a full 80 minute performance as this seems the perfect game to do it. Not counting chickens yet though. Easy as fans to get complacent, but I can't see the players falling for it.
