Will be interesting to see the squads for this game. Do you go with a full strength side to keep the momentum, do you rest all your key players saving up for the next round? Munster will have to go for a stronger team overall, I think - they've a break and are coming back home after a disappointing European game.

Munster Connacht

Last game of the regular Pro14 season takes Connacht to their provincial rivals Munster for a Conference A head to head! For those travelling with the Clan, the bus will be leaving from Galway at 4.00 on the dot! Best bet is to convene in Murtys before 4 and grab a spot of lunch before heading en masse to the buses! For those not heading with the Clan, Murtys will have all the action live in the Green Room!

Friend said he'd be touch and go for Cardiff but definitely back for Munster, in the update after Sale.

Can't imagine Finlay will be back this season? Don't think I've heard an update. Agree tho, can't risk all our first choice lads, but that said hate the thought of not going full on for an interpro!

Luxury situation thanks to the S&C staff
we can rest the main team, and still be competitive without even starting some of the departing guys

I'd go with

McCabe (final game vs his ex-team)
Delahunt (needs gametime)
Bealham (needs gametime)

Burke (prepare next season) McCartney and Carey (both need gametime) on the bench
Fully rest Buckley, McCoy and Heffernan

Roux (needs gametime)
Gallagher (prepare next season)

Cannon on the bench to say farewell. Fully rest Dillane and Thornbury

McKeon
Masterson
Copeland

Connolly on the bench to say farewell
(What a back-row when resting all Boyle/Fainga'a/Butler)

Kerrins/Llyod
(prepare next season, prefered to Mitchell who's released. Fully protect Blande and Marmion)

Godwin, and Daly covering there
Yes 10's the weak link, but I wouldn't risk Carty. At all

Robb/Daly, tasty
Fully rest Aki/Farrell

Niyi/S.Fitzgerald (if allowed)/Kelleher, and DeBuitlear on the Bench as 23 (prepare next season)
Fully rest Healy and TOH, Leader on the bench as 22
