see in Irish news today that Ulster were 7/1 to win the HC outright last week but after last weeks win over Montpellier they are now 18/1 to win it. Strange, whilst admitting that Ulster failed to get bonus point the circumstances are still the same in that they have to win 2 games to get home qtr final. Leinster and Munster both dominant in their games after initial opening period and even though it looks like they will be away in quarter final, no other team will want to play them in April. Leinster will give it a real go and could go close, Munster would be very hard to beat in a tight game and Ulster could go close if they beat Leicester and secure home qtr final spot. Not sure if they have enough in the squad to go to Toulon / Toulouse or CA and gain a victory so it is critical that they win away this weekend.
Jordi Murphy looks a real find for Leinster and with O'Brien out for a while is certain to get plenty of game time and bring his game on. A certain Irish no.7/8 for the future but we are well served in this area anyway (Henry, Murphy, Ferris if fit, O,Mahony, O'Brien, Diack, Wilson, Jennings, Henderson, O'Donnell to name a few).
