Weeg would be damn lucky to hold on to JG, Hogg, Russel and Seymore.

weeg have done extremely well in the market but if someone else wants to pay Finn R £400K a year, as long as he was as clever as North and made sure to be available then that would suit me .

I also think some of ou players would benefit from a year or 2 abroad

The deal brokers are going to have to work some back magic in negotiations. Lets say the funding can stretched to £6million for next year. Hogg and Gray are getting approximately 10% of that between them. Seymour, Horne and Swinson combined will be in the £400k-500k range combined. And that is without Favaro, Dunbar, Bennett, Strauss etc re-signing. BBC seem to suggest Strauss is considering his options in England and France.

Given Russell would be in the same bracket as Hogg and Gray when he is due to renegotiate next year do the weeg need to leave budget for his likely significant pay rise? Very difficult situation.

Id like to keep them all but think, of the out of contract boys, Dunbar should probs be the priority. Favaro has been playing very well but there are flankers around. I love Bennet but we are also quite strong at centre and I think Dunbar is more important and he also needs to be managed fitness wise

Having admittedly not watched every minute of Glasgow this year I think Dunbar, Favaro, Bennett, Strauss would be the priority order. Not sure Glasgow have a 7 the quality of Favaro.

Obviously if Russell had to be renegotiated now then he'd be priority 1.

Very odd to see Fraser Brown omitted entirely! Otherwise I think that's some sensible rotation in the last few weeks by Toony.

Decent team. Can't afford any injuries to either second row but I dont think there was much choice but to play them

Not available due to injury: Scott Cummings (shoulder), Jarrod Firth (neck), Peter Horne (knee / ankle), Rory Hughes (knee), Greg Peterson (shoulder), Sila Puafisi (concussion), Leonardo Sarto (shoulder), Matt Smith (shoulder), Tjuiee Uanivi (shoulder) and Richie Vernon (shoulder).

Come on Racing! Don't think there will be any try BPs today at the very least.

RM are absolutely going to get a card whether the laws are in play in the ERC or not. They're going for the head every second tackle.

He jinxed it.

8-0 munster, java.

Fecking hell

11-0. Munster pen.

How can RM be so consistently poor this season?

Munster's lead is pretty crap considering how dominant they have been but an entirely different RM will need to show up in the next 45 mins to turn this around.

CJ Standers counters Racing and scores the try at the end of the action 18-0

Pathetic.

Munster try in corner. I reckon RM might get investigated given how many changes they made and the scoreline.

Conversion is good. 18-0.

To what end?

Glasgow rely on other results to top the group, no?

u got to still expect Munster to get 5 points against racing at home so weeg will need to qualify as runners up.
