ULSTER V GLASGOW

I will be at this game tomorrow and I have got a strong hope that Ulster will win this match tomorrow but I do feel that Glasgow will win this match as they have form. With players like Finn Russell, John Welsh and Sean Maitland Glasgow will not go away and Ulster having Andrew Trimble, Nick Williams, and Rory Best you know that this will be a very close match that can go either way. Especially with Ulster playing at home that will give them an advantage that Glasgow’s form may take away as Glasgow sit on the top of the table and are definitely one of the teams to watch this season. I would be surprised if they did not reach the playoffs. But looking at the form table this is definitely the big match of the early season and I feel it has the potentially to be a classic.

TREVISO V CONNACHT

Connacht coach Pat Lam has made five changes to the starting line-up to play Benetton Treviso on Friday. Shane Delahunt, 20, is handed his first Pro12 start at hooker. Connacht would make a few positional Nathan White is absent because of a minor neck strain. Connacht have had problems in Italy last season.

The teams were named earlier and here they ready for the match

Benetton Treviso: Jayden Hayward; Ludovico Nitoglia, Luca Morisi, Enrico Bacchin, Michele Campagnaro; Sam Christie, Edoardo Gori; Matteo Zanusso, Davide Giazzon, Rupert Harden; Marco Fuser, Corniel van Zyl (captain), Simone Favaro, Alessandro Zanni, Mat Luamanu.

Replacements: Amar Kudin, Albert Anae, Romulo Acosta, Antonio Pavanello, Tomas Vallejos Cinalli, Francesco Minto, Simone Ragusi, Alberto Lucchese

Connacht: Darragh Leader; Niyi Adeolokun, Robbie Henshaw, Craig Ronaldson, Matt Healy; Jack Carty, Kieran Marmion; Denis Buckley, Shane Delahunt, Rodney Ah You; Mick Kearney, Quinn Roux; John Muldoon (capt), Eoin McKeon, George Naoupu.

Replacements: Dave Heffernan, Ronan Loughney, Finlay Bealham, Aly Muldowney, Willie Faloon, Ian Porter, Dave McSharry, Danie Poolman

I see this match as on that will be close but Connacht have shown against Leinster earlier this season that they can win when the chips are down. I cannot see Treviso winning but I do not feel that this will be a bonus point win

MUNSTER V SCARLET'S

Aled Davies takes over from injured Wales scrum-half contender Gareth Davies when Scarlets who had a knee injury.  Scarlets boss Wayne Pivac changes his front row with Phil John, Kirby Myhill and Rhodri Jones coming in. The return of Peter O'Mahony after injury is one of eight changes to the Munster side that won the big Irish derby. An all new front row sees Dave Kilcoyne and BJ Botha  pack down on either side of Kevin O'Byrne as the 23-year-old UL Bohemians man makes his second Debvut for Munster as he had to go back to his club.  

.Following a 16-minute appearance from the bench last weekend, O'Mahony returns to the team and will captain the side at six.  In the half-backs, man-of the-match against Leinster - Conor Murray will again start at scrum half, with JJ Hanrahan promoted to the starting line-up in the 10 channel. The teams face each other in the last Pro12 round before European competitions start.

Scarlet’s are unchanged from there match against Dragons

TEAMS

Munster: Felix Jones, Gerhard van den Heever, Andrew Smith, Ivan Dineen, Simon Zebo; JJ Hanrahan, Conor Murray; Dave Kilcoyne, Kevin O'Byrne, BJ Botha; Dave Foley, Billy Holland; Peter O'Mahony - capt, To

mmy O'Donnell, CJ Stander

Replacements: Eusebio Guinazu, James Cronin, Stephen Archer, Donncha O'Callaghan, Robin Copeland, Duncan Williams, Ian Keatley, Johne Murphy 0

Scarlets: Liam Williams; Harry Robinson, Gareth Owen, Scott Williams (capt), Kristian Phillips; Rhys Priestland, Aled Davies; Phil John, Kirby Myhill, Rhodri Jones, Jake Ball, Johan Snyman, Aaron Shingler, Rory Pitman, John Barclay.

Replacements: Emyr Phillips, Rob Evans, Samson Lee, George Earle, James Davies, Rhodri Williams, Steven Shingler, Michael Tagicakibau

I see this as a win for Munster after their win over Leinster they will have a lot of confidence and with players Like Simon Zebo and Paul O Connell you know that they have cot the confidence to do so.

EDINBURGH V DRAGONS

Both these teams are quite good but Edinburgh have got a few problems at the moment which I feel that if the Dragons win on Saturday. If that happens Edinburgh will be in a few problems and it is due to form that I feel that the Dragons will win this and maybe get a bonus point but that depends on the style and flow of the game. With players like Phil Burleigh and Jack Cuthbert could change the match for Edinburgh. But I do feel that with the crisis Edinburgh are in this will be a bad day at the office. Lee Byrne is the main force for the dragons.

ZEBRE V LEINSTER

Everything in my soul says that this should be a bonus point win for Leinster on Saturday except the fact that Zebre beat Ulster a couple of weeks ago and the fact that Leinster do not seem to have the form at the moment that shows they are the best team in league. I see this as a Leinster win but it will not be a bonus point win. Gordan Darcy and Issac boss being the main players in the team but the fact that they have a good squad with players like Mike  McCarthy can also help in a big way. With players like Christano you know that Zebre will be a threat and you do know for sure that they are improving year on year. But I do feel that this tie might be too much

OSPREYS V BLUES

This will be an all welsh battle that I feel could be a very interesting derby but I do feel that form, will give Ospreys will have a big advantage. Players like Dan Bigger, Dan Evens and Sam Davies the Ospreys are much to strong but the bonus point might be the difference in whether they finish top. or not. For the blues this is a big game and could be a Gareth Davies will be an important feature for the Blues no doubt and will change the way that this game goes.

South Africa beat New Zealand at home but New Zealand won the 4 nations title. Argentina got their first win in the 4 nations
