Cian Tracey

And if someone else is covering for him, they can't focus on doing their job.

And that just has a ripple effect right throughout the team.

And I can understand why

you know, the coaches are trying to, you know, put an arm around him and play him back into form.

But if they were to have him on the bench in Bilbao next week and Harry Byrne goes down injured after five, ten minutes and you're up against a guy like Matthew Jalibert who will just run through you for fun, not even one of the big forwards, then is that really the best decision for Leinster Rugby to win a Champions Cup?

I don't think anyone can sit here and say it is.

So,

I think we might see Frawley get more game time again this weekend at 10.

Harry Byrne possibly come back in and you might see a scenario where Frawley's at 15 and switches again for another 20 minutes.

And if that goes well, I think that would surely cement the decision for Leinster.

And it also means that if Frawley's on the bench, Joe, you can go 6-2 next week against Bordeaux if you want.

Now, they might not want to go that way because Robbie Henshaw could be back in the mix and they might want to go to big centre again.

as Ireland have done.

But Frawley just offers you so much more as a bench option.

OK.

Are there any other burning selection issues for Leinster?

Well, the fitness of Toig Furlong, I guess everyone will be watching out for.

Thomas Clarkson has been exceptional this season.

He was outstanding against Toulon.

they would definitely hope that Jack Conan would be fit their bench against Toulon wasn't the strongest and we saw that as well in terms of the impact that the Toulon bench made Bordeaux have a very very strong bench so staying the obvious but the more of those guys who are injury doubts at the moment Leinster can get back it's more so to load up their bench rather than their starting 15 but I think it's pretty settled I think it nearly picks itself in the most in most parts it's just getting a couple of those guys on the bench
