Yeah, there's a lot of moving around.
Just looking at it, I think nine teams can qualify for the eight quarterfinal positions.
Yeah, look, they're going to bank on Munster beating Connacht.
If Connacht get a win, it puts Ulster under a bit of pressure.
I think Richie has got to target one of those games.
knowing how competitive Richie is he'll target both of them but I'm just not too sure it would be the right idea to give that squad let them go last week the next two weeks and then into a final I just think it would be really tough ask on the players to be able to do that what I think he'll do is I think he might go strong this weekend and then rest up the following weekend against Glasgow
The other thing, the other logic is Glasgow, the wheels seem to have come off Glasgow in the last number of weeks.
They haven't really performed since their exit in the quarterfinals of the European Cup.
So maybe they're there for the taking.
Huge advantage to be at home for Ulster.
But he definitely needs one win out of that.
Yeah, they need a home quarterfinal.
And I think the Munster fans need a home quarterfinal.
As an organisation, they need a home quarterfinal.
Going to Connacht, I do like the project that Stuart is doing out there and I think that game in particular is going to be pretty tough.
Connacht are probably one of the forum teams of the URC at the moment.
I know they had that one bad loss down in South Africa but they had an incredible win down there too.
Munsters injury rates, like losing Klein and losing Byrne is just massive for them.
It's huge.
Like, do they have the backup for that?
