I'm gutted to be missing it too.

That's a shame. I was looking forward to meeting some of our closet Leinster fans, sorry I mean Ulster brethren....

Looking forward to this! Wouldn't be upset to see either side win but I have a soft spot for the blue magoos!

Is there anything this man cannot do?

Be afraid. :cool:

Is Paddy Jackson behind Nick Williams for kicking duties?

No, they are just planning on bringing the game to extra time and then a kicking contest*, they know that they won't be beating us any other way.









:pac:

Is that even how it works for the rabo?

Why are TG4 and RTE showing the final? Surely there would be very few watching it in Irish when it is on in English?

All the broadcasters (except SC4?) are showing it.

COYBIB!

Can't wait for this now.

Hopefully it could be the game of the year. It will be very interesting to see how far Ulster have come under Anscombe in comparison to last year. This will probably the best chance to date for that.

Looks like the weather will be good, it was great for last year's final.

Not even sure if I'll watch it, but if I do it will be on TG4!

No discussion of language/coverage please. Read the charter.

I'm loioking forward to a great day of rugby now.

Got the M1 derby up first. Then this match. A shame that the French semi final wasn't at a bit of an easier time to fit it in as well.

Just coming to after my first night out on the drink in 3 months... Woke up in a tizzy thinking I'm late for work, then released it's Saturday, so no work, and it's final day! Jackpot! The hangover will be far easier to manage at the RDS.... COYBIB!

OurDS doesn't even make sense! Doesn't anyone notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Not to make you jealous or anything but weather is a pearler here in Dublin...should do it SA style with bakkies and a brai out the back of the RDS post match. They drink that Harp stuff up north, don't they

Plenty of Ulster fans around the city earlier this morning. Not only noticeable by their shirts but by the fact that the lads have clearly spent more time on their hair than the women.

:pac:

Great to see so many of them down.

Wish I was there

Haha indeed. I tend to sport a fashionable red wig. I find the hairs from it everywhere, it has alapesha. Being a natural red head I do have to look twice to make sure they are indeed from my wig haha

sydthebeat

Where the leinster fans sitting in the north stand? feel like jonny no mates here

decisions

Heading in now. Same nervous energy that I had watching the Clermont gamr last year.

Come on Leinster!!

Uriel.

Hope this isn't against the Charter - but just wondering if anyone knows how I can watch this on the internet outside of the UK and Ireland? Away on a feckin' business trip and the only Irish bar in town isn't showing. Showing local soccer instead

chupacabra

Popey calling George on his ridiculous rhetoric. :pac:

johnmcdnl

Jaysus Christ - RTE shut the **** up about is it surprising the RDS is full and talk about the game :mad:
