I have one adult and 3 x junior Clan Terrace season tickets if anyone's interested in availing of same. Have to meet me at 4.15 outside main entrance, bring you in with me and let you off once you've entered stand. Deal is you can't be late! PM me if it suits - first come first served.

I would think that is exactly what we be going for- Henshaw, Leader, Poolman and Mils (I'm gonna assume his Leinster spills were a once off) are all exceptional under high ball. I know Lam said "the selection of the back three of Mils (Muliaina), Darragh (Leader) and Danie (Poolman) is directly linked to the quality of Munster’s aerial threat and the tough weather conditions expected" - but I'd guess Lam will be instructing Craig to pump the ball high.

Tomorrow is gonna be a bruiser B)

Healy's played a lot of matches in a row, including Bayonne away. More a deserved rest and a tactical physical change than a punishment

Looks like lam has gone for absolute physicality in the backs, which is good as long as they make their tackles. Healy possibly unlucky to be dropped but he will be back again soon it's a selection based around the opposition and weather. Munster rarely demolish Connacht, especially in Galway, but they always seem to get under the Connacht players skin and cause us to lose the game through silly mistakes and cute hoorism. Doc not starting is a plus for us in that respect I feel, and Aki is well up for that sort thing so maybe we can get some of our own back there for once.

Not a bad team. Little surprised to see leader on the bench
I'm all for Ronaldson to get game time but it's asking a lot to start this game.


Leaders on the Wing, McShaz on the bench I assume...? ;)

Gotta feel sorry for Matt Heals who has been fantastic this season, he's got the best gas/footwork of any Connacht player since Fionn at his absolute pomp in his first incarnation with us...

Just got myself free for tomorrow,
Would anybody have two spare tickets? I know it's late but will travel anyway

Savage starting 15 from Munster .

I don't have a ticket, but I was thinking, anyone who really wants to go and attends most games, would people consider the deals connacht had. They had 3 games in January for €55 or the half a season, season ticket for I think €140. Just an idea and might be a way to see tomorrow game

It's a big ask for Ronaldson to come into such a big game with so little game time at 10. I hope it doesnt turn into the keatley kicking show.
