The fact that Connacht don't have a game means that Bucc's will have all the big guns out and I think that they will win this one. They have so many Connacht players in their team....

Dave Heffernan
Tiernan O'Halloran
Jack Carty
Shane Layden
Conor Finn
Rory Maloney
Steve Macauley
Peter Reilly
Danny Qualter
Conor Kindregan

all expected to play, I think going to be hard to stop. Corinthians have been playing great and doing way better than everyone expected them to. They do throw the ball around a lot. Should be a great game

Finn wouldn't be playing he's out for another few weeks I thought

Both back from injury, great to see Shane Layden playing in particular. Corinthians coach is Dr Phil Pretorious, former coach of the Bulls in South Africa and the Tonga national team as I understand. He really has them throwing the ball about big time, very open and expansive. Corinthians are the top points scorers in the division, playing great rugby. The coach is top notch

is this live on tv :lol:

Been delighted with Corinthians results this season (hard not to be I suppose), need to get to another game when I'm home again. Should be a great game on Friday.

Should be a great game on Friday night - Corinthians academy/senior players available:

Finlay Bealham
Denis Buckley
James Connolly
Ultan Dillane
Eoghan Masterson
David Panther
Marcus Walsh

Aaron Conneely injured - big loss. Corinthians pack has been very impressive in all of their 4 wins this season. Weather forecast not good so reckon Corinthians will win it up the jumper style if the wind and rain arrives. Both camps are really up for it.

my old team. come on corinthians!!!

christ back in my day it was brian rigney and noel mannion!!!

Rory Parata started at 10 for Galwegians and then moved to 12 for the final 20 minutes. Also in the training camp with the Under 20 Ireland team and then being taken to the B&I cup team to Wales. He's only a couple of months 19 years old.

Why not putting him on the bench next week? In this case we can put Ah You as substitute TH

Good weekend for Corinthians, Galwegians and Buccaneers. Great to see Denis Buckley get a run out.

How many of our players are actually playing in the AIL?

How many of this seasons U20 team, who were very good, have stepped up to play AIL. I know that a lot will play in the clubs U20 competitions but some will step straight up to senior AIL with their clubs. It is a great breeding ground for young players.
