Pretty boring team to be honest.

23. Jamie Osborne (4)

We are so stretched in some positions. Soroka, Hanan, SOB 4.0, Corkery and Osborne would all have been u20s this year I believe. Corkery is sub-academy and Hanan and Osborne weren't academy at the start of the season.

From the little I've seen of him Kendellen looks a good player. Hope Ahern and Crowley get good runs.
 
(15-9) Jacob Stockdale, Craig Gilroy, Stewart Moore, Stuart McCloskey, Rob Lyttle, Michael Lowry, Alby Mathewson;

(1-8) Eric O'Sullivan, John Andrew, Ross Kane, Alan O'Connor (C), Kieran Treadwell, David McCann, Sean Reidy, Nick Timoney.

Replacements: Brad Roberts, Callum Reid, Gareth Milasinovich, Cormac Izuchukwu, Matty Rea, David Shanahan, Ian Madigan, Ethan McIlroy.

Good to see McCann starting, hope Reid gets a good run as well. Presume Stewart is still injured.

I don't understand why DTM can't get a go ahead of Murphy?
 
Crazy acceleration from Sheehan, hopefully settles the nerves.
 
DK the try scoring master. Good passes from ROL, Sheehan really likes playing Zebre.
 
Great start for the O's in what is an important match for them tonight.
 
Suicidal play from the Ospreys in their own 22 there... I know Booth has questioned the brand of rugby lately but absolutely stupid!
 
Ospreys somehow managing to keep their nose in front.
 
Good result last night. Nice to see us just comfortably see someone off for once and good outings for a few important players notably Carbery who was great and our young lads. Hope Wycherley is ok I didn't properly see what happened to him but never good when a guy is stretchered off to hospital.
