Welcome to Thursday's Rugby Daily. My name is Richie
0:28
McCormack and on the way, L'Enster are
0:30
back to full strength for the top of the table URC
0:32
clash with the Bulls. Louis Riesz-Samat is
0:34
to enter the NFL right at the top and
0:36
Danny Kerris to become a Baba for the first
0:39
time and spurns the chance to
0:41
move to France. First up to date, L'Enster
0:43
have brought back the heavy artillery for their
0:45
Good Friday meeting with the Vodacon Bulls at
0:47
the ORDS. Ten members of Ireland's
0:49
Six Nations winning squad have been included
0:51
in the starting fifteen with another handful
0:53
among the replacements. In all, there are
0:55
eleven changes to the team that brushed
0:57
aside Zebrate in parm at last week.
0:59
With Rob Russell, Jamie Osborne and Captain
1:01
Luke McGrath among the backs. Ross
1:04
Maloney is the only forward retained. So,
1:06
L'Enster will line out with Jordan Larmor at full back.
1:09
Russell and James Loeb are on the wings. Osborne
1:12
is this week partnered by Robbie Henshaw in the
1:14
centre. Harry Burns starts it out half. Luke McGrath
1:16
captains the team from Scrum half. It's
1:18
a front run of Kean Healy, Ronan Kelleher
1:20
and Michael Alla Alatoa. Joe McCarthy
1:23
returns to partner Ross Maloney in the second row. It's
1:26
an all new back row then of Ryan Bird at
1:28
Blindside Flanker, Josh Van Der Fleer on the open and
1:30
Jack Conan named at number eight. The
1:33
replacements for L'Enster tomorrow are Dan Sheehan,
1:35
Michael Milne, Tyte Furlong, Jason Jenkins and
1:37
Kaylin Doris covering the forwards, covering the
1:39
backs. There are Jemison Gibson Park, Ross
1:41
Byrne and Liam Turner. L'Enster head coach
1:44
Leo Cullen has warned though that the
1:46
Bulls are similarly stacked with international pedigree.
1:48
Indeed, three members of the Springbok World
1:50
Cup winning squad are included in their
1:52
starting fifteen as is former Ulster back
1:55
rower Marcel Kudzia. They will
1:57
start with Villy LaRue at full back,
1:59
currently Arendza. and Devin Williams are
2:01
their wingers. Kena Moody and David Creel
2:03
are in the centre. Johan Goosin starts
2:06
at Outhofe. Scrumhauf tomorrow is Emeril's
2:08
Papier. It's front row of Gerhard
2:10
Steenacamp, Akker van der Merwe and
2:12
Milko Love. It's Ruann Wermark
2:14
and Ruann Norschip in the second row.
2:16
Marco van Staden, Erle Gloebt and Marcel
2:18
Kudzia make up their back row. Bulls
2:20
director of Rugby though Jake White is
2:22
aware of the task at hand for
2:24
his sides tomorrow. As I said, they
2:26
probably got more test matches individually
2:29
than our players have got URC
2:31
games and that just tells you
2:33
something. And those test haven't, you know, they've
2:35
all been against tier one nations, they've been
2:38
in World Cups. So
2:40
when you look at their team, they,
2:43
you know, not many club teams
2:46
have so many international players to
2:48
their disposal and at
2:50
their disposal and they're
2:53
very good players. I mean, we're talking about a
2:55
guy like Josh Van der Fleer, who was voted
2:57
as the best player in the tournament last year.
2:59
So yeah, it's
3:03
Stormos. Stormos is one kind
3:06
of battle and
3:08
it's one kind of strategy
3:10
you have to get. I think there's a lot more
3:12
questions that are going to get asked by this team
3:15
based on the fact that they got so
3:17
much more experience internationally. And White has been
3:19
outlining how they can disrupt Lezner. I suppose
3:21
the one thing that comes up is stopping
3:24
them from playing with rhythm. That would be sums
3:26
up everything. I think they got, you
3:28
know, whether it's stopping them at source, whether
3:30
it's set piece or whether it's getting
3:32
in amongst them in multiphase. I think it's
3:35
just basically breaking up the rhythm of the
3:37
game. That would
3:39
be for me the key area of whether
3:41
we're going to be successful tomorrow or not.
3:45
And I know that that encapsulates a
3:47
lot of other things. Other
3:50
things, but I just think
3:52
generally with a team that are very, very good
3:55
once they get rhythm and momentum and they get,
3:57
you Know, they get
3:59
flustered. In a in a
4:01

4:03

The game all important for us to to
