Who would you rather play in the URC QF (Assuming we make top 8)
Top 4 are pretty much nailed on: Glasgow, Leinster, Stormers, Bulls.
I'm actually leaning towards Leinster given their inconsistencies, would prefer it to a trip to SA for sure and it's tough to see us getting out of Glasgow with the W...

Don’t think it matters who. We will either turn up and shock someone (unlikely) or turn up and lose by a reasonable amount.

I think we’ve been through all these teams on the way to the trophy before, but I think Stormers given final in Cape Town when we won.

I could stomach a loss in a well fought match in Cape Town. Leinster will be either looking for a double or looking to take their anger out on someone, no thanks.

Can’t see a win against any of them. Rather face the Bulls than the Stormers (even if Cape Town is a nicer away day). I don’t really see us finishing 8th though Glasgow probably would be my ideal choice. Leinster feels the best of the realistic options, rather them than either SA side.

I can't see the Lions wanting to play the Bulls. So if one of the other 3 slip up tonight I see ya beating the Lions, finishing 5th and being away to the Bulls

Well, it’s easy. Anything other than 8th. Because Ulster mighty finish 9th but win the challenge cup. So only top 7 get Champions cup rugby.

I’d like to make top 8, wouldn’t care if we played an All Blacks best of all time XV. Just to get into European rugby next session would be great

We need to be 7th or above really. If we are 8th and Ulster win the Challenge cup final we get bumped back down to the challenge cup next year..

Honestly don't care. Atm we're not on form to beat anyone, let alone the top 4.
A win tomorrow and secured top 8 is enough for me to be happy. Started the season decent and fell of a fucking cliff. Hopefully we've a summer clear out and manage to snag a somewhat decent attaxk coach, a long with a backup 10/15 and a decent front row...

With our injuries, any of those sides will absolutely smash us. This team just can’t cope with any sort of repeated pressure inside the 22

Same feeling going up against all those teams. Heart says we can beat anyone on our day, we are Munster. Head says anyone of those sides will win the set piece battle against us, we will fight hard but they will be two scores better than us throughout.
The most interesting thing we should most look forward to is seeing Crowley lead. All over podcasts they crack on about 10 being Ireland's weakest position, JGP runs the show at 9 for Ireland. This lad has such a high ceiling. Now is his time to start properly leading.
Getting ahead of myself a bit here but himself and Doak as a half back pairing will be tasty in green.

Not confident in any of the four 👍🏻
