So here we are, the perfect outcome from an Irish perspective

Personally I can't see past Leinster at this stage but it's impossible to write of Ulster who seem to revel in the tag of under-dog

A great day for Irish rugby though regardless of the outcome !

Well done Leinster and Ulster - as a Connacht fan its a terrific outcome for us as well as we've another season of HC rugby to look forward to.

I'll be in Twickenham for the final - cant wait !!!!!!!!

I think Leinster will be too slick and complete for Ulster, they aren't weak up front but can still play a similar game to Embra.

It's a one-off, but if Leinster can find a way to beat Clermont in France they can find a way to win this.

I think we will surprise a lot of people.

Henry and Afoa will make the Ulster team much stronger than yesterdays team against Edinburgh. On the other hand Ferris was in alot of visible pain with his knee yesterday.

Leinsters record against Ulster over the last few games isn't great reading for an Ulster fan, P5 L5.

Ulster do in a way have 3 weeks off before the final but that could work against them as Leinster as well.

For the sake of Irish rugby I hope he doesn't start given Fitzpatricks performance

Given what Afoa brings around the park their chances of winning are hugely improved with him starting. Ulster winning is of longer term benefit to Irish rugby.

Afoa will start, he offers much more around the pitch than Fitzpatrick in my opinion.

Would love to see Ulster win it.

Why?

Has anyone tried to book match tickets yet? Keeps saying tcikets not available and then divert you to a site called "GET ME IN" who are charging fortunes for tickets

[sock puppet]

Both teams unbeaten in Heineken Cup finals!

They'll make more available to the teams involved, there'll be no problem if you have a Leinster season ticket or know someone who does.
