So I'm heading down to Stab City today for the Munster v Northampton match. Its being billed as a classic showdown but it'll really come down to how well Munster play I think.
Northampton seem to be a team capable of producing excellent spells, as they showed in the reverse fixture back in October, but they also have some slack performances. Their 1st half last weekend against Perpignan was very average.Meanwhile, Munster's away victory against the same in December was arguably one of their finest performances in Europe. If they play anywhere near that level this evening they'll win very comfortably.
This will only be a close encounter if the home team fail to turn up. Northampton are a side capable of scoring tries but in recent years Munster have proved their ability to rack them up too. They also have the advantage of being more versatile and can play a tighter game if need be.
Paddy Power are offering a handicap of 10 points for a home win. I suspect it'll be something closer to 15, say 27-12.
