    IT'S GAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEE DDDDAAAAAAYYYYY!!!

    Since walking out of the Sportsground after a bonus point win against the Ospreys I've been dying for this day.
    Slightly less optimistic now that we are without Ronaldson, and it's raining, but it's still going to be a tight game.

    I can't wait for the atmosphere up there. I'm sure the lads have a few tricks up their sleeves!

    I'm actually quite excited for this one.

    Even more so since I landed myself a ticket. :)

    Ya would echo the rest of ye that are worried about this weather. Obviously given both teams styles of play the poor weather will suit Leinster's more structured and conservative style better. AJ is a cracking player but he'll have to play the percentages a lot more this evening.

    Can't get my head around Henshaw on the bench. He's obviously fit so why not start him? He should play every game between now and the end of the season. Maybe don't bring him to Treviso to give him a rest but that should be it in my opinion. Good impact off the bench anyways I suppose after 50 minutes or so.

    Fair play to lam for not starting a guy that will not be contributing next season.

    Clever and refreshing standpoint

    He couldn't train until Thursday and I'm open to correction on this but I don't think anyone who played 80 mins in every 6n game is starting this weekend.

    If anyone outside Galway is thinking of putting a bet on its worth noting the weather today.

    Its borderline stormy.

    Wind is absolutely howling. Sure its normally windy in Galway/Ireland but this wind is way above the "higher" averages.

    Rain is intermittent so when it comes along with the wind its dreadful out.

    Could be a low scoring game.

    That isn't the reason he isn't starting
    No player who started every game in 6Nations is started for their respective sides afaik

    Heading up now!
    Looks like we might avoid the rain.

    The wind is strong but we should be dry!

    C'MON CONNACHT!

    Delighted to discover this in on TG4, thought it was on Sky only.

    Heenan being out is a big loss but McKeon is still a decent replacement.

    Heenan pulls out of the game.

    Clearly wanted nothing of Van Der Flier.

    I think Leinster will get a good win here.

    The team overall is stronger and we've a very reliable goal kicker, plus the bench too.

    What hideous GAA-style monstrosity is that on Madigan's head?

    Connacht by 50.
