[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 921853, member: 76349"] I'd be surprised if anything else is named tomorrow given that that's the expected team anyway and that Thornley is almost always right (last week excluded). I'm very 50/50 on the result and I'm genuinely unsure whether I'm being cocky or pessimistic. I can easily see both results. I'm most nervous about the fitness of the centres. A lot will rest on whether they can cone through. I'm not sure if Best will make it much further but there isn't much we can do at this point. It's not like we can drop our captain for the ABs especially when the other options are hotheads like O'Mahony and Sexton. Best option (haha? anyone? - okay I'll leave now) is just to throw the ball at Toner's beautiful 6'11" frame on Saturday and work from there. On Beirne you never know what's going on in training. Maybe he just hasn't done enough to convince Schmidt that he can be trusted for the bug games. His time will come, although in his position I'd be getting impatient because he's a relative latecomer to the international scene. [/QUOTE]
