And I think maybe moving back to the RDS is going to be a key part of that puzzle.
Yeah, I was really impressed with Robbie's performance up in Ulster, his best performance of the season.
And then you kind of couple that with Osborne, who...
by his high standards, was poor against Edinburgh and then was pretty poor at the weekend against Benetton.
So, it's close.
It wouldn't surprise me if they go with Robbie because he's just that steady hand with Gary and just shore up the defence a little bit.
I'd agree with Rudd.
I'd say they go with Rico.
Yeah,
on the on the wing it's it's really tough because you've got someone like jimmy o'brien going in on a monday thinking i have a very very good chance of starting here same with osborne same with robbie and similar with sam prendergast and for for two of those guys they're not going to be in the 23 you know because the the makeup like jimmy's either starting or or probably not on the bench because if uh osborne's not starting i'd imagine they'll go with luke mcgrath froley and osborne
If you look at the Ulster game, and we've seen Leinster do it with the likes of Will Connors over the last few years, where you bring him in in a certain game, ideally to nullify...
You know, someone really strong in the opposition.
Stu McCluskey was a good example in the Ulster game.
And Scott Penney's just lined him up, got off the line, got in his face, taken all his time away.
And for 55 minutes, kind of largely taken him out of the game.
Rex is probably their best back, I would say.
And he's the key for getting them to go forward.
Ball, he's their link man.
They get all their timing off him.
Could Leinster put Penny in to nullify him?
