Originally posted by Wallyman View PostThe days of European sell outs are gone. It's easy to get tickets to all the games. Leicester next week might sell out, but nobody who wanted to go will be without a ticket. There are issues with attendances in the Pro12 caused by many things such as bad KO times and poor performances, but one that has been there for years is the attitude of the Pro12 being below Europe and not worth going to. I know a lot with this attitude who'll rock up to TP on European day and travel to the away game, but wouldn't be seen dead at a Pro12 game unless it's the Leinster game.My computer thinks I'm gay
What's the difference anyway
When all the people do all day

Originally posted by Cowboy View PostThere is benefits to both competitions, going well in the cup can be attributed to good game management and being a good 'cup' team with a series of one off performances. Going well in the league can be great for continuity and breeding a winning mentality.
Just because we are out of one does not mean we are a bad team per seCeterum censeo INM irrumandum esse.

It would be like the GAA trying to turn their league into something bigger than the All Ireland, it won't work

So, back to the topic of the thread...
I think we need to field a strong side for this in preparation for Leicester. We've rotated a lot, which I think is a good thing, but we need to get our first team settled for the big European games.
I'd look at giving Hurley and Saili another run together in the centre with Amorosino at FB, Zebo on one wing and Earls on the other. That's probably our strongest back line and we haven't seen it yet this season, although Conway has been going very well.
Murray and Keatley at half back. TOL has been solid but we need the former's control. No real alternative at 10 right now.
Up front I'd bring Dave Foley back into the row, give Doyle a run at 7, rest CJ, put JOD or Copeland at 8 and DOC at 6 (if he's fit?). See how Ryan gets on from the start at TH with Cronin and Scannell at LH and hooker. It hasn't been mentioned in all the post-Connacht negativity but the latter two were very good at the weekend and Ryan did well when he came on. It was a big positive.
That should be a strong enough side to win and will give us some more options in key positions.

Bleyendaal, it seems, will be: he does.
Agree on the pack, with a mention for Coughlan, too. Definitely worth letting the front row settle a bit, and I'd have Sherry and Sagario coming off the bench.Ceterum censeo INM irrumandum esse.

I'd put Conway at FB, has been impressive there most games. Amorosino hasn't shown much yet"There are a lot of points that we’ve left behind and this is with a young group. That probably tells you what they’re capable of and that they’re a very good side.
Probably next year or the year after next they will take some stopping"
