Time to start the thread on this folks. Will be interesting to see what kind of team will Andy put out.
Will both Marmion and Blade be released to us for game time?
Same for Jack C, Tom Farrell, and Roux and Dillane?
Is Copeland fit? Is SOB2 fit? Is Gavin Thornbury fit?
Could we be looking at something like?
1 Buckley. 2 Delahunt. 3 Bealham. 4 Thornbury. 5 Cannon. 6 SOB. 7 Butler. 8 Copeland. 9 Blade. 10 Carty. 11 Healy. 12 Godwin. 13 Tom Farrell. 14 Kelleher. 15 Leader.
16 Heffernan. 17 McCabe. 18 Carey. 19 Gallagher. 20 Boyle. 21 Marmion. 22 Horwitz. 23 TOH.

Roux will be in the 23 for Italy (and possibly beyond) as you need to pick two locks who can scrummage at TH, so less than zero chance of seeing him I'd say. I'd expect Robertson-McCoy to get the nod over Carey since Carey's leaving, and even if Copeland's fit it's hard to look past SOB or Boyle at 6, Butler at 8 and Fainga'a at 7.

RTE radio says Jack and Caolin both released to us, and that Kieran would only be considered for Italy if he gets minutes for us this weekend.

Is O'Brien fit? His arm was in a sling until the last week or so I think?

I hope no one is under estimating how important this game is.
Realistically, we need to be targeting the full 5 points. Not going to be easy after the break, and without Bundee and Quinn.
Hopefully there is a cracking atmosphere up there, and the boys do the business

It's gonna be a tough one alright - the Craggy Crew did a quick bit of analysis on the Cheetahs form, and they could be very dangerous - Craggy Rugby

Dillane to start in Thornbury's place at 4 then. Good to see Robb and Copeland both training during the week too!

Pro14 website has this one down for Freesports but it's not actually on there, just in case anyone outside of TG4 land is expecting it FTA. They also have it listed for Eir Sport but they are showing Treviso v Scarlets and Cork v Clare.
It's on TG4 and Premier 2 (and probably Super Sport 76).
Pro14's online TV schedule sucks. neill_m's is better.

Massive thanks to Ulster. Big result for them away to Ospreys. Wasn't a pretty spectacle but they were much the better side. Defensively very solid on the night. Kick from John Cooney right at the end means Ospreys miss out on the losing bonus point too. Big opportunity for us to take advantage tomorrow.

There's hardly anyone heading back from the game to Clifden/Letterfrack direction.

Could do with the favour from Glasgow tomorrow as well. Bookies have it as a tossup.

The Premier Sports listings are flexible and can change. Game on TG4 and PS2. Ulster game was a grim watch tonight. Good result for Ulster and for Connacht.

Anyone else struggling to hear this on GBFM? I’m based in Italy, usually no issues; no luck with TuneIn or on the GBFM site.
