    Based on what I saw last week and the fact this is at the RDS I can't see past a 10 point minimum Leinster victory.

    If I was a Connacht fan I would be nervous seeing Carty starting again at 10.

    Aki Ringrose should be fun.


    We're always nervous with Carty at 10! Sometimes he surprises us though... ;)

    Two exciting team selections. Can't wait. Jack may be no sexton but these days he makes good use of the back line. So we will see running rather positional rugby from Connacht and I'm OK with that. The Leinster back line promises the same as sextons positional play has been poor to date this year. If Connacht kick their penalties there will be little in this game at the end. Weather permitting this will be some game.

    Forecast is for a near gale from southeast, which will be blowing into the North Stand/Anglesea corner, could make kicking difficult, so we may see both teams kicking penalties for the corner a bit more. I'd be worried about our maul defence, it hasn't been great lately.

    Does anybody know if the game will be broadcast on the radio?

    Edit: Looks like RTE Radio 1 has the match.

    Is there somewhere to get coffee near the north stand? It's not for putting whiskey in, honest!

    Marmion put in a massive hit on one of the Ulster players the other day. Hope he has a go at Te'o this week :D

    He put Robbie Diack on his ass. It was impressive.

    Will feel like a home game for Connacht with this weather.

    I may have forgotten to print my ticket. Anywhere near the RDS that I could?

    Yep. There's a coffee counter close by. Coffee is OK too.

    Add your reply here.

    Get it emailed to your phone?

    Or get someone to photo the bar code and send to you?

    I'm assuming both would work

    I don't really have a problem with the rain. It's that wind that's blowing in and out. Could destroy the game if it's going down the pitch

    Yellow spot!? Are you sure you're not a Leinster man with expensive taste like that?
