[QUOTE="MunsterMan, post: 220310"] Hopefully Munster will win. It will be nice to see some nice running rugby in the RDS for a change :P If Contepomi doesn't like contact how will he cope with Mafi and Tipoki? Leinster have an excellent pack, so I think all our big counter ruckers need to be on the pitch and Leinster have an excellent lineout so we will need our best jumpers on the pitch as well as options in the backrow. For those reasons Donnacha Ryan [b]must[/b] start, I think he should be HEC first choice by the end of the season. It looks like Earls will be starting fullback, having only played against London Irish, Edinburgh and the Dragons there so is unproven. It should be OK though as we have Dougie to slot in if it isn't going well. A lot depends on whether or not CJ (and to a lesser extent Elsom start) If CJ does not start, Munster can play Buckley at Loose head which IMO would give us an advantage in the loose. I predict this one to be close, but then again It's Munster V Leinster so who knows. Hopefully the weather stays like it is now. [/QUOTE]
