I think it will be, they just need to have played together for a few months....

I was thinking a bit more short-term. Say - Saturday at 3.15pm?

I hope Ben Youngs doesn't have a problem with motivation after his England exploits and can slot back in.

This is a massive game for Ben. Despite a great international period everyone still has Murray nailed on for the Lions 9 shirt. Ben will want to play out of his skin and get one up here. Massive incentive for him to have a big and important game.

Munster forum thinks the ref is in our favour as he's likely to be random.

I can see where they are coming from.

With no Ayerza, no Cole, no JP its going to be a very tough day at the office come Saturday. I remain positive but its based solely upon hope that we turn up and put in a committed, tenacious, dogged and winning performance

PS Thought Mike Williams would have been on the bench having warmed up against Saints last week?

Hope I'm wrong but I can't see this team beating Munster away. Are Ayerza & JPP & Tait injured because this is the sort of game where I think they are needed.

Ayerza and Tait certainly are.

I like the look of the team but wouldn't be surprised to see a late withdrawal or two.

[Noggs]

A good side considering who is available but also share the disappointment of Thacker not being in the mix. He brings an added threat to a tiring defence which few hookers exhibit.

[strawclearer]

Tigers will be in the red, white & green kit at Thomond Park on Saturday.

Excellent!

[Bunchy]

My spies tell me Thacker has a slight knock

Eddie Jones has also made it clear that one way to get yourself out of the England squad is to go back to your club and rest on your laurels. Constant improvement is the order of the day, no matter where you are playing.

Can't see a win coming. Short of a few key players and fighting the Foley Effect. Expectation managed but still looking forward to the game. I still have hope........and Remy of course!

Coincidentally I am going to be in Leicester tomorrow when the game is on. Any recommendations of where to watch it? Near the train station would be convenient.

I think this approaching our best side with three exceptions, Veianu for Worth, and the props if fit it would be Ayerza and Cole and of course JP Petersen on the uing. Let's just hope everybody performs to their best.

That's 4 exceptions, Noddy :)
