Hi, on bus tomorrow, driving up from Mayo. Where's best place to park car

I've lived in Limerick for a few years up until now, so this is my first year travelling down to Thomond (as opposed to walking!). Is Park & Ride from the Radisson my best bet or is there parking close-ish to the stadium that allows for a semi-quick getaway?

Given the weather that's been forecast - somewhere between "quite poor actually" and "terrible altogether" - allied to the selection of McGinty and Ronaldson at 10 & 12, I expect to see ball raining down on Van Der Heever all night for Henshaw, TOH, and Healy to chase.

It's more getting your best players on the pitch I'd say especially for Munster away.

Lam is fantastic for that sort of thing. Ronaldson at 12 killed Munster in the sportsground last year, hopefully he can help McGinty control the game/territory. Wonder who will be taking penalties with both of them on the field?

I saw the name Lucas Gonzalez and I thought, ah some nobody on the wing and then I saw his other surname and I thought, ah feck.

Munster :

Conway; GvdH, Earls, Saili, Amorosino; Keatley, O’Leary; Cronin, NScannell, Botha; DRyan, Chisholm; Stander(c) JO’D, Copeland

Replacements: O’Byrne, Kilcoyne, JRyan, Foley, Coghlan, Williams, RScannell, Hurley



So many interesting match ups in the backline

Healy vs GvdH
TOH vs Amorosini
Marmion vs TOL
Aki vs Earls

Is Zebo injured or rested?

Munster: Andrew Conway; Gerhard van den Heever, Keith Earls, Francis Saili, Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino; Ian Keatley, Tomás O'Leary; James Cronin, Niall Scannell, BJ Botha; Donnacha Ryan, Mark Chisholm; CJ Stander - capt., Jack O'Donoghue, Robin Copeland.

Replacements: Kevin O'Byrne, Dave Kilcoyne, John Ryan, Dave Foley, Jordan Coghlan, Duncan Williams, Rory Scannell, Denis Hurley.

I'd feeling with Poolman being out and both Niyi and Parata starting the two European games we'd see Henshaw FB, TOH Wing and Aki-Ronaldson continue in the centre

Like others said, AJ and Delahunt over Carty and Heffernan are the two most interesting calls. Delahunt was brilliant vs Ospreys away.
I'm sure AJ will be well up to the task - thought Carty was playing well though..

Delighted for James Connolly - against Bayonne away last year he made alot of us take notice and he was fantastic in the play off vs Gloucester last year

Interesting Naoupu is covering second row rather than SOB - pretty much confirms he is seen as a 6/8

Can't fecking wait for tomorrow

We'll it probably throws a spanner in Munster's "it doesn't matter if we concede penalties" plan.

Was thinking something similar. Sly ould dog.

A few real surprises in that selection - Delahunt at hooker, McGinty, Ronaldson, and also positionally for TOH, Aki, Henshaw.
