Bit of chat about the Glos side, whether it devalues the competition and about the current structure.
I can see why Glos have put out the side they have, given their commitments in the League, but it would have been good to see them go with a full strength side.

Tbf to Glaws their first choice is probably going down by 30+, so choosing this as the game you give your regular picks a day off is pretty logical.

[FKAS]

Good chance for the rotated guys to try and make a statement. Turn up in this game and then you've got a chance to make the next Prem 23.

Having Singleton and Balmain pick up injuries recently has probably put a damper on Skiv's plans to compete on all fronts as well.

[p/d]

That went well

[FKAS]

Glaws frustrated Leinster early doors, made them work hard. Then the inevitable happened.
