    Yeah, that's not far off full strength. A win tomorrow would be massive.

    Good to see McGrath getting a run but would've expected Boss to be starting.

    Ringrose is obviously very highly rated when they're going out of their way to get him involved, would be nice to see Kelleher coming on for Teo and move Ringrose to center if the game allows it. No mention of an injury to Fanning so that's a really progressive selection.

    First start for Molony too.

    I like how willing Cullen is to give the younger lads a lash.

    Does he have much choice at the moment?

    Our backrow is very weak on the deck. I expect Navidi to make hay here.

    Bit light in the front 5 but not a bad team considering, good to see McGrath getting his shot, Ringrose is obviously impressing to get his spot.

    Healy Cronin Ross
    Toner Denton
    Ruddock Heaslip O'Brien
    Reddan Sexton
    Kirchner D'arcy Fitzgerald Kearney
    Kearney

    Strauss McGrath Moore Furlong Kearney McLaughlin Murphy Madigan

    The squad unavailable this week; serious handicap for Cullen. (Madigan's versatility allowed me to go for a 7-1 split on the bench.)

    I'd say he covers 8 and 7 too, so you could add more front 5 if you wanted to strengthen the engine room.

    Edit: Actually, maybe give Strauss the week off too.

    I hear he has a great jump on him, he could probably do a job in the lineout too for the last 20... ;)

    Would've liked to see Byrne/Dooley start in the front row to try to bring some life but apart from that I'm really looking forward to seeing Molony who I think could already be better than Denton. The performance of the tight 5 has to be better this week.

    Cardiff +8.0 on the handicap looks like free money

    No Fanj either. The guy hasn't a clue.

    You win nothing with kids.

    Darragh Fanning must not be allowed play in case he gets injured. First sub into the Ireland squad.

    Joe figured it's best to give him game time with Marys instead so he can score more tries so when he gets called up he can just walk them in.

    Well in fairness to Leo, he is giving some of the young lads a chance.

    Surprised enough to see Ringrose starting on the wing. Looking forward to seeing how Ross Molony gets on - fine player.

    The truth is he managed to get a NZ passport through his Maori granny (Mrs. Fa'anning) and is currently en route to join the All Blacks squad.

    Darragh Fanning is a specialist 24th man, nobody plays the position better. I'm pretty certain he's not playing because Joe requested he be played in that position, he's a bit like our version of Jared Payne except better.

    I'd pay a lot of Money to see Darragh Fanning making a complete balls of the haka standing beside the rest of the All Blacks.

    I think we'll hammer them.

    Cardiff at home has always been a handy 5 pointer. The World Cup won't change that.

    That's a pretty strong Cardiff side and we're down over 20 players now with Lockys latest injury. Its going to be a rough few weeks for Leinster fans.

    It's the lack of an experienced out half that will most likely cost us and not an ageing back row like Kevin

    Anyone tried to print out the ticket to get their supports pack?
    and if so, any issues doing it (cannot seem to get it to work myself)

    Yep. I haven't put the app on the phone yet, so printed it. I seemed to have to go through a lot of steps to get it done, but everything worked. Why we can't just bring our card, I don't know.
