But then you have, you have obviously Frawley, Will Connors going in there, which is decent.

Leinster's roster in theory if you think about it you take away Rico you take away potentially James Lowe that hasn't been done yet right so you lose Rico and James Lowe and hopefully James Lowe can be sorted out I really hope they can keep him Luke McGrath Braba right

Snyman long term Snyman long term injury um Frawley and Will Connors okay so like that's a that's a fair chunk of talent right now obviously James Lowe isn't gone yet but he's not definitely re-contracted for next year like Leinster on paper look

weaker than they were this year you know which is which is so if you're not if you're going to be weaker on paper obviously you got to be better on the pitch but again you have to maximize those talents um it's a world cup year um will that have an effect um and uh yeah and munster obviously haven't had a huge amount of high profile signings yet either so um it's just it's like i know we have to get the money right um in the irish game and the province are trying to squeeze and the 40 for central contracts

is taking money away but it doesn't create a very vibrant dynamic you know and fans like fans love recruitment and the best players staying you know so yeah it's going to be hard to lift I know Leinster said a lot because of the RDS move back but just in general it would be great if they could find some external funds but back on Ulster even Steno obviously said we're talking baseline minimum Champions Cup qualification get your playoffs back next season but

Yeah, I think URC semi-final would be more... Could they contend for a URC?

I think they could, but I think the Challenge Cup would be very hard to win it.

Yeah, they could definitely get to the semi-final final, but I just think at the moment some of those super deep squads are ending up back in it and it's hard to beat them.

Yeah, they're in great form.

I think there's a potential shock here.

I think Conor will have no fear of Glasgow.

Glasgow are a good side.

But even the Ulster game in the last round, there's vulnerabilities there.

They're so attack-focused that when there's turnovers, they're very vulnerable.

And I think Conor...

have the capacity and pace to exploit that and Conor's defence is very good like at the moment their attack is good but they're really hard to break down so I think Conor will go over there nothing to lose and I think Glasgow they still haven't really recovered from was it Toulon knocked them out of the Champions Cup they went on a bit they bounced back the last couple of weeks

obviously hammering Cardiff at home and beating Ulster away but Ulster was the second string when Ulster got their best players on the pitch they looked more than capable of challenging I think Conor can pull off a shock there

Yeah, he has been immense this season.

And certainly Glasgow will be hoping he doesn't play.

I think Connacht are okay.
