[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1091040, member: 39190"] 16.5 point handicap for Leinster seems fair. 1.5 for the Stormers is near enough to a coin flip which also seems fair. I'm glad to read most have us as slight favourites though I don't see it myself even if I think we are certainly in with a chance. I'd like to see the line-up first. I seriously hope we ditch the 6-2 split in favor of having experienced campaigners on the bench for the backs. With Willemse there one can risk a 6-2 bench especially considering Libbok and Gelant can also cover multiple positions but without him I wouldn't. In any event it sounds like young Mngomezulu will be in the mix again. Getting in ahead of Du Plessis, De Jongh or Smit the coaching staff must see something in him. I'll keep my eyes open. He looked solid enough on defense if not spectacular. A bit so-so on attack in my view though- think it was Zas who picked up a very poor pass. Edit: So I've wtached extended highlights of Ulster v Munster and our game vs them again. I have to say I am feeling ever so slightly more confident though its still a 50/50 in my book and with Ulster's centers being one of their biggest threats I have to say losing Willemse is doubly a blow for us.
