So, Leinster v Ulster on Saturday at the RDS. Thread is premature but I feel I can wait no longer, I am excited. Bear in mind that these threads are not my forte.

Ulster will be looking to get a good result to help build some momentum before their important HEC clash away to Scarlets. Leinster, who are no longer in the HEC, will be looking for a good result to move ahead of Ulster in the rabo.

Pienaar, Henry, Henderson and Wilson are back for Ulster with Muller and the incredible hulk making their returns last week.

No John Afoa is a worry.

Here's hoping Ulster get a nice win and come away with no injuries.

What say you, Leinster fans?

I don't think there is a BBC2 HD. I cant find the match on the BBC listings for NI but Rabo website says it is on BBC NI. BBC 1 NI is available in HD.

Edit : I stand corrected. There is a BBC2 HD.

Already ahead. But I'm just being picky

Many Ulster fans traveling down? Had some craic with the lads for the game up North, one of the better games as a traveling fan this year.

Awec will be there.

I'd say there'll be a good crowd down. Bank Holiday weekend!

Bulmers, Guinness and Carlsberg(or some other generic lager) only as far as I know.

Its not quite 6, but its not far off.

Grimebox

I noticed prices went up last week. A Guinness or a beer is around 5.10 - 5.50, with the beer being on the more expensive end.

Worth the detour.

Guinness used to be a convenient fiver, it's no 5.20 or so since the new year.

Inconsiderate. They could have at least bumped it up to a tenner! #coinsareformunsterfans

BYOB is the only way to go in the RDS now. I'd probably have 1 or 2 in the OLSC bar after the game but that's about as far as I'd push it tbh. Will be worth popping in there after the game with Madigan and Cronin coming in. The more Ulster fans the better too. Have a bit of banter.

17: Jack McGrath
18: Jamie Hagan
19: Leo Cullen
20: Rhys Ruddock
21: John Cooney
22: Andrew Goodman
23: Andrew Conway

Fair amount of rotation going on, Macken starting is very interesting, as is McGrath on the bench

Glass Prison 1214

No Sean O'Brien? Some interesting calls like Toner ahead of Cullen, Hagan ahead of Bent, Macken starting, Ruddock on the bench ahead of Ryan.

Edit: McGrath on the bench instead of Heinke as well.

opinionatedfan

Really wish Hagan was staying and Bent leaving. Seems like Ruddock/Ryan are rotating more than anything else.

Hopefully Macken continues to progress, think Richie Murphy called him our fastest back

Big day for Lutton

Glass Prison 1214

Never seen that Ulster tighthead play before, what age is he and is he any use?

trouttrout

Bar Lutton, whom I've never seen play, that's a massive Ulster pack

Grimebox

On paper this looks likes its Ulster's to lose
