Which coach will rue his selection gambles?
When selecting a side to play at this level of competition, one must always assume that the coaches who work with the players on a daily basis have a better insight and a sharper appreciation of who is in form and pushing all the right buttons in training.
On the surface, both management teams have taken a bit of a gamble. The inclusion of Mike Sherry at Munster hooker ahead of the more experienced Damien Varley is not a huge surprise to me as, but for injury, I think Sherry would be a regular in the side by now. When introduced off the bench against Leinster last weekend his impact was immediate.
