I fancy this one to be a bit of a try fest. The weather might play a part, but two attacking teams should make for a fun game.

CMK can be a bit of a stop start ref, so maybe not a massive try fest.

38-30 with 9 tries.

Irish, yet again, involved in a high scoring game, which i'm sure would have been great entertainment.

Must be frustrating for them to miss out on the LBP, think they missed a few conversions.

Frustrating for the team and also the fans. Once again, Irish are the nearly men, who frequently seem to lose out when it comes to the crunch (though they have had a couple of good wins.) I do like their approach in trying to play good rugby and they have some talented players.

Always going to be tough for LI when they play the "we'll score one more than you" brand of rugby. It's very entertaining but I thought we'd see more pragmatism emerge alongside their talented attack with Kidney and Jackson there. At any point in a game involving LI the game can be won by either side.
