Leinster team:
1: Cian Healy

3: Stan Wright
4: Leo Cullen CAPTAIN
5: Malcolm O'Kelly
6: Sean O'Brien
7: Shane Jennings
8: Jamie Heaslip
15: Isa Nacewa

13: Brian O'Driscoll

Interesting to see almost full strength. A nice win and no injuries would go down well. Hopefully kearney will get a full game next week as he continues to recover from mumps.

No Scarlets team news yet.

Let's hope it goes more smoothly than last time.

I can understand the balance.

With Leicester having a GP semi final, probably a GP final then a Heineken Cup final, Cheika will want to keep match sharpness amongst the team and is going full strength, but I can't help but wince with 13 of our Heineken Cup final starters being on the pitch for this one!! Only Kearney and Rocky missing.

Should make for a good game and a nice send off for the team.

Anybody thinking about going to this one bare in mind that this is the last home game of the season and last oppertunity for most to send off the team with a bang and there will be a session in the function room after the game to celebrate the last home game of the season and players will be making an apperance to mingle with the fans and it would be nice to give the team a boost with a sell out crowd and massive support from the home fans!!

ALLEZ LES BLEUS!!!

I can't go. For fúcks fúcking sake. I hate exams. Missing a Leinster game is just shítty.

Don't tempt me.

It's the last home game of a great season you should try and make it !!

shoutman

Yep I'll be there.
Looking forward to it.

adrem

Scarletts will go easy on us - they don't want Leicester to win either !

Yeah, I know. And knowing me I will end up going, but I really shouldn't.

flyswatter

Will this game be on BBC Wales/BBCi does anyone know?

crisco10

Can't wait to go. Take my mind off all this ticket hunting. It's tiring!

Same!

accensi0n

I'd prefer McFadden in for O'Driscoll and Toner in for Cullen.

madds

Will be there for this game. They deserve a massive turnout. Fingers & toes crossed on the injury front.

NickNolte

I'll be there with bells on. I'll also have a padded suit on in case I need to dive between BOD and any over-zelous Llanelli tacklers.

I don't think that this comes into it as Leinster blew Scarlets away 31-17, in Wales, on 21st Feb - WITHOUT Brian O'Driscoll ! It could be a massacre and hopeful no more Lions casualties.

i hope for leinsters sake that they dont hold back.
its when players have their minds on a big game in the future that they hold back and get injured alot easier

Just out of one. Depending on who I can drag together and how much work I can get done for tomorrow I may wander down to the RDS. Hope to God it warms up though.

Jaysus yes, it could well be a horrible evening though. Looking forward to the match, but not huddling on the North stand.

Sorry no harm intended! Uh oh the Scarlets will have that posted on their dressing room wall, the stakes have just been raised:eek:

RuggieBear

i'll be in the north stand with my chequered flag. Gone to every home game this season (even the castre game the day after my wedding)...season ticket is a ****ing bargain.

justsomebloke

will be on the terrace myself as per usual so see you all there

Fair play ruggie!! That's dedication!! Congratulations on tying the not also!

Should be a good game tonight, just fingers crossed all the players stay fit!! Will be in North stand too - but minus my checkerd flag which i lost in the haze of last weekend

NickNolte

Off to Ballsbridge for a pint before the match and then it's RDS time.

COME ON LEINSTER!

Stev_o

How i detest this commentator. He shows no emotion in his voice and it's like listening to microsoft Sam commentating rugby!

Stev_o

RDS is empty.....*sigh*

ironingbored

Leinster 14-0 up after 20 mins. Two good backline moves.

Stev_o

Sexton yellow carded. Silly stuff no need when your 14-3 up.

Can't find a stream. Stuck in the depths of Munster. Crit looming. Disaster.

Stev_o

Brilliant angle by Fitzgerald. Try Leinster. He needs to get himself into a 15 shirt.

Funkstard

Second try for Fitz?
