"Most of the selection speculation this week will centre on whether Paul O'Connell starts on the second-row or comes off the bench, but the composition of the outside backs could be equally significant and the following are some of the options available to McGahan.
"Option A -- As you were
15 Warwick, 14 Howlett, 13 Earls, 12 Tuitupou/Mafi, 11 Murphy
"The formula which took the field against the Ospreys (when Mafi came off the bench for his cousin Tuitupou) and was supposed to against Glasgow when Mafi started at No 12. Having one of the Tongan cousins at inside-centre indicates a direct approach and would mean Johne Murphy on the wing when his rich vein of form promotes a switch inside to get him involved as often as possible."
