Munster have gaps before the opener
Munster’s injury list includes Tom Farrell, Calvin Nash, Edwin Edogbo and Lee Barron. Barron has an ankle problem, while Tom Wood’s shoulder surgery is expected to keep him out until the new year.
JJ Hanrahan is completing return-to-play protocols, with Tony Butler providing short-term cover after appearing from the bench against Leicester. Marnus van der Merwe has returned from a calf injury.
That Leicester warm-up ended in a 32-24 defeat. Munster scored enough to stay involved, but the result and the absences make a home-win bet less appealing than the Thomond Park setting might suggest.
Glasgow’s warm-ups offer little reassurance
Glasgow lost 47-31 at Newcastle and 53-5 at home to Bath. Both performances involved youthful squads, so those scorelines are not a clean measure of the side that will play this opener.
They are still poor evidence for an away-favourite bet. Glasgow conceded 100 points across the two games, while Munster’s own eight-point defeat by Leicester was considerably closer.
The youth of the Glasgow selections is the reason not to swing straight to Munster. We would be treating pre-season development sides as the finished league team, despite the different personnel available for competitive rugby.
Verdict
No bet at Thomond Park. Munster’s injuries weaken the home case, while Glasgow’s two heavy warm-up defeats make @1.81 unattractive for the away win.
