Young guys getting European experience, I like it! Our focus is the pro 12 and this can only help us there. Result isn't set in stone either, we will be better than last time we faced Bath where the set piece was atrocious regardless of a full strength side starting! Te'o running at Ford and Eastmond with Ringrose on his shoulder will be tasty to watch too! Bath by <7 no BP.
I'd be surprised if the scrum manages to concede 13+ points tomorrow....The scrum will be worse with Dooley and Moloney starting....
Next week should have been the one to play the young players. This is a home game and could have an effect on Ulster. The big name players will have the next two weeks of anyway as well as no knockout games.

It's not our job to get Ulster through their group so that's irrelevant. It's also going to be invaluable experience for the younger players because this is highly unlikely to end in a hiding to nothing. I can't make heads nor tails of your last sentence!
Why not both? There are complaints, Leinster fans have made these complaints but let's benefit ourselves in the next two weeks and not give a **** about anyone else. I think the disagreement here is more ideology rather than anything else though!Well your probably in for a big surprise dot dot dot dot
It's not irrelevant, it might not be our job but we've given out a lot about French teams putting out weakened sides. Why wouldn't next week be invaluable experience instead?
Was just pointing out as an aside that resting the senior players isn't a valid argument for this weekend.

Of the seven players I listed, Tadhg Furlong is an international. Luke McGrath has around 40 appearances. Josh van der Flier has been a regular this season. James Tracy is almost 25 and has shown up pretty well this season. Garry Ringrose has been very impressive whenever he has played. Ross Molony and Peter Dooley are the only selections I'd deem as risky both both have a lot of potential. The tight five looks quite callow when you factor in the top level experience of Molony and Dooley.True Snoop but my issue with blooding younger guys (this isn't just aimed at Leinster) is they should be released 4/5 at a time max with experience around them.

Leinster really are blessed at loosehead with three established internationals (Cian Healy, Jack McGrath, Michael Bent) and a trio of excellent prospects (Peter Dooley, Edward Byrne, Andrew Porter).
