Interesting debate on 606v2 about the URC teams. Here's the
opening post on Leinster:

the big addition at Tighthead. Will be available for them all
season and possibly is the long term replacement for Furlong who
only signed for a 12 month contract and is probably leaving
Ireland after that.

The Champions have a quality squad throughout and that hasn't
changed going into next season. With the new format switching
to 15 games and teams outside of Ireland only facing Leinster
once (either home and away), I do expect it to be harder for
them as teams will most probably start fielding full strength
sides especially at home. That said they are one of Europe's
best for a reason. I don't think anyone else really can oust
them.

Looks like it will be a good test of where Quins are. And where
Leinster are. That said, they've got Sexton, but we haven't got
Smith, so we're playing with a hand tied behind our backs...

I wouldn't place that much import on the game, or any other
pre-season game. We're playing with whatever we want or have
available.
If we're that dependent on Smith we're not likely to repeat last
season.

Makes sense to manage Marler’s game time closely. Disappointed
not to see Els at all though, would have to take that as him not
being fully fit yet.
Hopefully the absence of Chisholm minor is nothing serious, we
do miss him when not in the 23.
I don’t think we’ve seen Viliami Taulani in the UK at all? Not
sure what the current rules are for travel from NZ but I’m
working on the basis he hasn’t joined up with the club yet.
Saw Jack Musk before the Cardiff match and he was wearing an
inflatable boot. Seemed to be walking fine, but presume he’s
unavailable at the moment.

Has anyone seen any updates re CSW? Perhaps he is stuck in the
US??

He was commentating on last week’s match, so he’s in the U.K.
and with the squad. But I imagine he will need time to relearn
rugby after his gridiron adventure

Lewis Gjaltema replaces Scott Steele in the squad.

Looks like being a fun game. Leinster score first from a loose
grubber by Danny Care, but Quins have struck back 6 minutes
later.
Lamb, Walker and Kenningham playing well, and Allan is asking
questions of the defence (and not afraid to truck it up
himself), but he and Care are forcing it a bit at the moment.
If Quins can settle into a rhythm and wind in the risk-taking a
notch, this could be a good performance.

Madness we can’t play like this all the time! DC is out on his
feet and only 15 mins played. What about defence?
