Leo seemed to suggest some players will be making their first start for Leinster on Friday, my guess: Scott Penny

If so, first of many for that lad. Super player.mildlyinterested wrote:Leo seemed to suggest some players will be making their first start for Leinster on Friday, my guess: Scott Penny

The Celtic Cup final team should give a few good indicators as to who will make the Squad for this game on Friday. Expect to see some of Conor O'Brien, Harry Bryne, Kelleher, Penny, Deegan or Doris. They may not all get called in but some will.

Re: Ospreys @ Home Nov. 23rd. Friday 19:35
Best available XV of players who've never started a game:
1. Michael Milne
2. Ronan Kelleher
3. Vakhtang Abdaladze
4. Ryan Baird
5. Jack Dunne
6. Oisin Dowling
7. Scott Penny
8. Ronan Watters
9. Hugh O'Sullivan
10. Harry Byrne
11. Michael Silvester/Aaron O'Sullivan
12. Jimmy O'Brien
13. Gavin Mullin
14. Hugo Keenan
15. Jack Kelly
Jimmy O'Brien could be in line to start with O'Loughlin out (unless one of COB or Daly gets shifted out one)
A start for Penny looks very likely with every other openside unavailable
HOS could be in as well if they want to get Fardy and Lowe in the team

1.Dooley 2.Tracy 3.Bent
4.Fardy 5.Molony
6.Jos.Murphy 8.Deegan 7.Penney
9.O'Sullivan 10.Reid 12.T.Daly 13.COB 14.D.Kearney (if fit)...(A.Byrne may well be in Ireland 23 so haven't picked him here)
11.Lowe 15.Frawley
16.B.Byrne 17.E.Byrne 18.Abdaladze 19.M.Kearney 20.Doris 21.McCarthy 22.Mullin 23.Kelly
I'm actually happy enough with that pack, including the subs. Penney has been outstanding at 'A' level and the tight five is actually pretty strong and in-form. The backline is callow to say the least. At least we have big centres to crash it up and create some go-forward ball and space for Lowe out wide. Nonetheless there should be enough there to get the bonus point win if we play reasonably well.

Looks about right, although I'd say Jimmy O'Brien and Keenan are more likely picks on the bench than Mullin and Kelly, given that they were in the squad that went to SA
McCarthy might get shut out completely and it could be Patterson on the bench

Lowe scheduled for a Q&A Laighin Bar 30 minutes after kick-off which is an indicator that he won't be in the 23.
Fardy & JGP presumably in.

Who would go to a q and a while there is a game on?
My guess is that it's 30 mins after the game. In which case......

Really? 30 minutes is plenty of time to get showered and ready.Leinsterlunatic wrote:Lowe scheduled for a Q&A Laighin Bar 30 minutes after kick-off which is an indicator that he won't be in the 23.

The Internationals do these q and a in various corporate boxes in the Aviva after internationals.
Having said that. We're a bit thin with everyone missing and injured so it might be required that Fardy and JGP are in the squad
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick
