Cardiff Blues v Munster 14:05 Pick Munster by 10
MUNSTER face the first of two fixtures in the RaboDirect PRO12 minus the services of nine Irish internationals, when Rob Penney’s side travel to Wales to face the Cardiff Blues this Friday (7.05pm).
As Munster’s Irish stars turn their attention to the upcoming autumn internationals against South Africa, Fiji and Argentina, the remainder of the squad will be aiming to follow up on their bonus point victory over Zebre with another win at the Cardiff Arms Park.
Munster are fifth in the PRO12 table, one spot outside the play-offs, as they face a Cardiff side sure to be still smarting from their 59-22 weekend drubbing at the hands of Leinster.
Rob Penney said: “Losing the internationals is one of the challenges of the competition. But it is also exciting, to bring on as many young players as we can and give them opportunities.
Munster won 24-18.
Ulster v Edinburgh 14:05 Pick; Ulster by 21. I would probably have picked more if there was guarantee of perfect weather conditions.
Ulster have too many quality foreigners whereas Edinburgh have lost so much local talent to national training camp ahead of next week's Internationals.
Ulster won 45-20
Glasgow Warriors v Newport Gwent Dragons 14:30 Pick Glasgow by 15. Dragons are very thin on the ground with so many good players on International duty. Heck, even with their Internationals they have been shocking.
Glasgow won 37-6
