No Todd Burney's already been ruled out, which is a huge blow.
Jack Crowley is expected to be back, who they will badly need.
But yeah, that Lions game could be a tricky one.
So yeah, that'll be an exciting one to close out the regular season.
We'll be back in just a minute.
We'll discuss Leinster and the rest of the Talking Points.
So Leinster 31, line 7, a bonus point win for Leo Cullen's side.
It was 14-7 up to about 10 minutes to go when tries from Hugo Keenan, Rico Ioane and Jimmy O'Brien finished out the job.
So it was a very impressive victory in the end because Leinster rotated a fair degree and gave a few guys the week off.
Luke, what was your verdict on that performance?
I want to ask you about Scrum Half, Luke, or sorry, Rudd.
Like Luke McGrath's going to Perpignan at the end of the season, Gibson Park, obviously Ireland front-liner doesn't play a whole number of URC regular season games and he's also 34, he'll be 35 next year, obviously going to the World Cup and then after that he'll be getting on in his career.
that kind of strikes me there's no obvious I know Fintan Gunn plays a lot he hasn't really grasped the kind of that position though really like I know Cormac Foley who was impressed on occasion with Leinster was along with the Ospreys for a stint this year so it's kind of a bit in flux like it's an interesting it's one area in particular where Leinster don't seem to have huge depth and I'll be interested to see how it shakes out over the next say year or two in terms of if they might bring somebody in or how that might go
He's actually a year younger than Gibson Park as well, which is funny.
It's like, oh, the veteran Luke McGrath.
He's actually younger than the starter.
I know because Gibson Park obviously came over later in his career.
Yeah, I'm interested to see how that scrum half situation shakes out.
I could see Ben Murphy in a couple of years time, like Leinster making a play for him.
I know he's from Leinster, obviously, like he didn't go to Leinster Academy or anything like that.
