[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 873547, member: 45598"] Leinster would be the best but sent a very depleted squad to SA while they're trying to let this summer's Lions rest as well as having picked up a few injuries over the Irish summer tour and losing the starting second rows, Scott Fardy and Devin Toner due to their pregnant wives being due. Other notable players missing would be Johnny Sexton, Jack McGrath, Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip, Robbie Henshaw, Garry Ringrose, Rob Kearney, Tadhg Furlong and a few up and coming internationals as well, although I'm not sure how many of these would have toured if available anyway. You'll find that the top pro 14 sides will have to rely a lot on their depth early in the season and during internationals due to them losing players during these periods, while the Kings and Cheetahs obviously had bigger problems joining the league as well as the rugby championship affecting them they should be able to pick up an advantage to even things out during the 6nations.
