    Probably not the slowest in running terms but not one of our most slickest that's for sure.

    BOD and D'arcy aren't what they used to be, still very good though.
    McFadden is good but not the most creative
    Nacewa and Kearney aren't having their best seasons.

    Nacewa is back to his best I think. And Kearney has been improving a lot the last month or so.

    Alba doesn't have English commentary.

    I read why somewhere. It's something to do with the amount of Channels BBC allocate to their regional broadcasters.

    Ridiculous. What's the neutral supporter supposed to do? I'm sure there are many Welsh fans who want to watch this game, or English, or anyone.

    I'm fairly sure this week it's just bad luck.

    Tg4 and RTE had made their choice a while back, that RTE would show Friday night and Tg4 Saturday, I think they did before Ulster topped the table. It is a technical reason not a policy reason that Alba can't provide coverage.

    Getting nervous about the game now. Glasgow are a decent team & have been class all season. Their gonna put everything into this so Leinster will need to be at their 'Heineken Cup' best.

    This will be an interesting game. With Leinster only beating Glasgow by an aggregate 11 points from the two games this season? As an Ulster fan id prefer to play Glasgow, but if its Leinster, we'll just have to beat them for a third time haha :)

    Agreed. It'll be tight, especially in this weather...we'll need to be at our best. Really looking forward to it though.

    Whats the weather like in Dublin at the moment? Have a feeling this will be a pretty close game. Glasgow have been playing well this season, wouldn't be taking them too lightly but I'd imagine that Leinster will have enough to win.

    It's all seasons... Rain, hail, sun, hot, cold, windy... take your pick.

    I'd rather play Leinster. We owe them after the HEC last year plus Glasgow are awkward buggers anyway so either way it will be a tough final. If the weather is mucky in Dublin tonight it could be squeaky bum time for Leinster but they should have too much class and experience to add to the home advantage.

    Yeah, someone asked me who did I want to win last nights game and I said Ulster. Nothing to do with the difficulty of the opposition, but Leinster vs Scarlets for the final would be such an anti-climax! If it's an Ulster v Leinster final it'll be a cracker infront of a full house.

    I have to head up home on the night of the final for an event. Just my luck, having to go back up north when Ulster are playing in Dublin. :(

    I'll totally miss the game, won't even be able to watch on TV. :(:(

    I think Ulster v Glasgow would be easier to miss and less sickening, so... :p

    Ah in reality not going makes it easier for you, you don't have to decide who you REALLY want to support in the RDS if Leinster qualify. Sure you're as Dublin as coddle now.

    Looks like he failed it, based on the Pro 12 Facebook page posting this as the team sheet:

    They have to confirm who are the front row reserves. If all of them are used and yet another front row rower is substituted, then the team are reduced to 14 men.

    I figured as much, it still looks a little silly to me.

    decent at 10 as long as there is another kicker. I remember him going 0/6 earlier in the season, possibly against Ulster. I presume Hogg is going to goal kick.

    Jennings and Boss absolutely critical to us tonight. Matawalu needs to be rushed, knocked into, toes stepped on at scrum time, anything to put him off his game as much as possible.

    He's either the winning or losing of every game he plays in.

    I don't know how Sean O Brien made the Lions squad. He never seems to play these days. He's nowhere near the level he was at during the 2010/2011 season. Not playing enough, it's as simple as that.

    He was probably Ireland's best player in the 6 Nations
