I feel leinster resting there big guns for this game shows respect to saints. I'm not writing off saints as a leinster fan hopefully leinster get the result
Leinsters defence will be interesting, not convinced they have got the rush totally working yet Against LaRochelle they were set up to chop down the giants, that won't be the case against Northampton, interesting game Leinster by 12
I didn’t give saints much of a shout before the teams but our weaker bench, which ordinarily is a huge strength for saints, is going to make a big difference in the last 20 minutes. I think Saints will keep it close for 60 mins but the game will get away from them once the benches start coming on. We are really going to miss Sleightholme and our first choice centres in this match.
Feels like the games will be a bit of a mini England V Ireland and England V France respectively This though is what European rugby should be all about
Will be a good outing for saints but we’re missing a couple quaility players that would have made a big difference. A think a full firing team would make it very 50/50
Think Leinster are being massively disrespected this week by a team who achieved absolutely nothing at any level, international or club. Leinster by 30+
Calm down lad, don't think anybody is disrespecting leinster, if leinster turn it on tomorrow evening then they will win, but don't underestimate this Northampton team, quality all over the pitch, even the thoughts of an English team winning on croke park soil would not be accepted by all irish people, 30 pts a little bit 'disrespectful' towards Northampton , 5 pts will do nicely 👍
It’s this sort of arrogance and hubris which made the England victory over Ireland in the 6N all that much sweeter. Ireland fans really cannot help themselves.
Believe it or not, the head groundmans at croke park is a N. Saints fan. Heard him being interviewed on irish radio. I kid you not!
Mate I am absolutely buzzing this morning, so excited for these games. What a great day to be a Rugby fan.
Excellent analysis on match ups especially on the two English clubs' teams being fielded

3 weeks rest could backfire on them but I think they'll have enough to grind out the win.
Resting our big guns? Eh? You mean 'not resting', surely?
Great analysis Thank you

For me they are the best two centre's, who are yours?
I think so. Saints will stay in it bepends on when the subs come on for leinster
Hope lenister do the job! From a munster fan

Not really. It's more like Ireland vs Northampton...

82,000 screaming Leinster fans...daunting for Saints but anything can happen
Struggle to find a less intimidating crowd... Maybe if Buckingham palace had a team😂
Sorry, Leinster by 30
Northampton are going to get smashed in Croker
Yer heard that sort of talk before the England Ireland game😂
