Zebre v Leinster Sat 2.30 Eir

[wixfjord]

Back to the grind.

Depending on who we get back from Ireland, might see something like:

McGrath, Tracy, Bent, Molony, Fardy, Doris, Leavy, Deegan, JGP, Byrne, Daly, COB, ROL, Byrne, DK
Dooley, Byrne, Vakh, Kearney, Penny, HOS, Reid, JOB

I'm assuming we won't get the likes of Cronin back.

Rhys might be one that could need some game time though.

[leinsterforever]

Think I'd prefer Daly or Frawley at fullback, with DK on the wing. DK has been excellent on the wing lately.

[ronk]

Would we try Lowe at fullback?

[Laighin Break]

Would we try Lowe at fullback?

3 into 2 conundrum. We need to have JGP in the team, and hard to argue against Fardy when we're missing Toner and Ryan.

[Ruckedtobits]

We don't need these points so total focus should be on the shape of the team we want for Ulster game. The 3 into 2 question being central. Where is Luke McGrath in his recovery? Does Jack McGrath need a serious run? What is the range of left-wing options? Is Sexton likely to be fit after games against France and Wales? What's Dev's recovery period? Is SO'B dedicated to Leinster or just Ireland and RWC?

[cormac]

Fergus McFadden is back in full training. Sounds like Leavy and Tomane aren't at that stage yet.

With the game being in Italy I guess we're unlikely to get any of the subs from the Scotland game back for this match.

Might be worth giving O Sullivan another start with JGP on the bench as backup, can see them giving Doris the start at 8 but I prefer Deegan myself.

Ruddock and Jack McGrath at Leinster training today too.

[LeinsterLeader]

Has anybody seen Leavy?

I'm beginning to think Leinster have killed him and are just playing for time.

You're gonna have to produce a body some time Leinster. We can wait!
