    Munster:

    1. Connacht (H)
    2. Scarlets (H)
    3. Cardiff (A)
    4. Ospreys (H)

    Leinster:

    1. Edinburgh (A)
    2. Glasgow (H)
    3. Scarlets (H)
    4. Dragons (A)

    Ospreys
    1. Dragons (H)
    2. Scarlets (A)
    3. Edinburgh (H)
    4. Glasgow (H)
    5. Munster (A)

    Looking at this fixture list, the ML seems a done deal for Munster. :):)

    Is it the opposition or the home and away fixture that have you so happy? Nothing in rugby is a foregone conclusion. I remember being in Ravenhill a few years back, we were being trounced at half time and hey presto we turned it around and won, the following week the team failed to show up for the Q/F against Llanelli :(

    As Declan Kidney said after the GS win, if you play for 80 minutes then you never know what mightb happen.

    But anyway, here's hoping, C'Mon Munster

    Both tbh. Cardiff away will be difficult for Munster though.

    Not only that but if it came down to the last match the osprey would love to deny Munster it. But its Munsters to lose at this stage

    Well put it this way, nobody else can win the league now, only Munster can throw it away.

    Last 2 games are very tough for Munster, particularly if it is in the depths of tough European run, so I wouldn't say it's 100% in the bag, but I would order an ikea catolgue to look at a bigger trophy cabinet.

    Foregone? Assumption is the mother of all fúck ups.

    Munster are the favourites, they're the most likely to win, but it's far from a foregone conclusion.

    Could always lose to Cardiff and hte Ospreys. Not necessarily likely, but very possible.

    Assume, it only makes an ass out of u and me.

    It has to be Munster's to lose/throw away, having said that though the last two games are no easy walkovers.... OOHHHhhh as much as I'm an Irishman I'd love if Munster came up short.... G'WAN Leinster.....

    It is certainly in Munsters hands at this stage but as the saying goes, every dog has their day and every team that lines out against Munster will want to play their best and beat them for pride if nothing else so any slip in form over those last 4 games could prove costly. Starting with Connacht who shouldn't have a snowballs but will throw everything bar the kitchen sink at them and are still capeable of causing upsets on their day. As a Leinster fan here's hoping our western cousins do us a favour.

    As a munster fan, im not going to start counting my chickens yet, the advantage is certainly with us at the moment but anything can happen.

    Far, far from a foregone conclusion..no such thing in professional rugby. Any one of the upcoming games are massive potential banana skins, and on their day both the Ospreys and Cardiff (partic if cardiff can replicate their HEC form) can beat Munster...factor in injury, form and the demands of the Heineken Cup and, as usual anything is possible....
