PRO 12 SEMI FINAL
LEINSTER V ULSTER
Leinster: I Nacewa (c); D Kearney, G Ringrose, B Te'o, L
Fitzgerald; J Sexton, E Reddan J McGrath, R Strauss, M Ross, D Toner, M
Kearney, R Ruddock, J Murphy, J Heaslip.

der Merwe, I Henderson, C Henry, S Reidy.

I would not be surprised if at the 80th minute
this match was not settled as for who will win it I think home advantage could
be a huge factor and the fact of a week’s break could break off Ulster’s
momentum. I think that in reserve which is where this game will be won Leinster
have got too much but Ulster are getting bette5r in that position.
CONNACHT V GLASGOW
Connacht O Halaran, Adeolokun,
Henshaw, Aki, Heaky, Mc Ginty Marmion, Loughney, Mc Cartney Bealham
Dillane, Muldowney, O Brian,

Dunbar, Home, Jones, Russell,
Prince Reid, Brown, Puasifi, Nakarawa, Grey Harley, Wilson, Straus, Mc Arthur,
Yanuyanutawa, Fagerson, Swinson, Favaro, Hart, Benett, Lamont
This could be one of those moments in Irish sport where
something comes out of nothing and changes the way that we see our sport being
seen as Connacht play at home in a pro 12 semi-final Connacht now need to know
what to do for next season as it has become more important than this one.
PREMIERSHIP SEMI FINAL
SARACENS V LEICESTER
Saracens: Alex Goode,
Chris Ashton, Marcelo Bosch, Brad
Barritt, Chris Wyles, Charlie Hodgson,
Richard Wigglesworth, Billy Vunipola,
Will Fraser, Michael Rhodes, George Kruis, Maro Itoje, Petrus Du Plessis, Schalk Brits, Mako Vunipola., Jamie George, Rhys Gill,
Titi Lamositele, Jim Hamilton,
Jackson Wray, Neil De Kock, Owen Farrell, Duncan Taylor.
Leicester: Telusa
Veainu, Gonzalo Camacho, Mathew Tait,
Seremaia Bai, Vereniki Goneva,

Pearce, Tom Croft, Ed Slater Graham Kitchener, Dom Barrow, Fraser Balmain, Harry Thacker, Marcos Ayere Tom Youngs, Logovi’i Mulipola, Dan Cole, Mike Fitzgerald, Lachlan McCaffrey, Ben Youngs, Owen Williams, Adam Thompstone
I think that Saracens are on a roll after going to the
Champions Cup and winning it and I think that this form will help them in their
league semi-final. I think that Leister is too good a team to be rolled over
but I do think there will be more than a score in it
EXETER V WASPS
Wasps: Charles Piutau,
Christian Wade, Elliot Daly, Siale
Piutau, Frank Halai, Jimmy Gopperth, Dan Robson; Matt Mullan,
Carlo Festuccia, Jake
Cooper-Woolley, Joe Launchbury, Kearnan
Myall, James Haskell , George Smith, Nathan Hughes.Ashley Johnson, Simon McIntyre, Lorenzo Cittadini, Bradley Davies, Thomas
Young, Joe Simpson, Ruaridh Jackson,Rob
Miller.
Exeter Chiefs:
Lachlan Turner, Jack Nowell,
Henry Slade, Ian Whitten, Olly Woodburn, Gareth Steenson Will Chudley; Ben Moon, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Moray Low, Mitch Lees, Geoff Parling, Don
Armand, Julian Salvi, Thomas Waldrom. Jack Yeandle, Alec
Hepburn, Harry Williams, Damian Welch,
Dave Ewers, Dave Lewis, Michele
Campagnaro, James Short.
This match is definitely a lot harder to call but I think
that it might be one by one decision whether a good one or a bad one but I
think that wasps will get it purely based on the fact that they have been here
many times before and as a big club this will be Exeter’s first time.
