Do the Irish teams played their first choice 15 in magners league games?

Question

I have heard the topplayers are rested for the heineken cup and international games.

Answer 1

Thats the policy though in fairness to leinster, connacht and ulster (the last two teams I mentioned don't have that many international players anyway) they take it seriously....with leinster saying this year they will target it..(even though they lost by 50 points at home to the scarlets).

Munster don't. But i think that all the Irish teams are changing their policy this season as the sponsors and supporters are getting fed up.
