    I hope Connacht win purely because this thread will be an absolute **** show if they dont.

    If Leinster can continue their form its hard to see Connacht stopping them.

    Toner not playing could be a very significant factor. I think Connacht could do a job on Leinster's lineout in his absence.
    Will Conacht feel the pressure though? Getting to your first final and all the focus, fairytale stuff must have a bearing. I think it will actually.I expect unchracteristic errors,bad decisions etc. It happens.
    Leinster to win.

    The closer kick off comes the more convinced I am Leinster will win this. Leinster by 10.

    If both teams play their best rugby, Leinster will win.
    If both teams play like they did last week, Leinster will win.

    I can see how Connacht could win but I think Leinster will do it.

    Pretty quiet around here for match day.

    I can see Leinster comfortably winning this. Just a feeling.

    Disgusting pro Connacht bias in the media today.

    I hope Leinster smash them so badly they'll be talking about it for 50 years.

    Makes a nice change from the usual pro Leinster bias.

    Connacht begrudgery is a sign that they've finally made it.

    I feel more confident about the game now from a Leinster perspective.

    Connacht receive nothing but good press. It's kind of strange how bitter some of the fans get when from what I can see the vast majority of Irish rugby followers actively want Connacht to do well whether they are from Leinster, Munster or Ulster.

    And Billy "Not trading on my family name, I swear" Keane has written a truly awful and barely coherent piece about what heroes they are.

    Connacht really are the new Munster.

    Not bitter at all. The exact opposite really. Just saying it's nice to be getting some good press now. It has been very much pro Leinster in recent years.
    If anything the post I responded to was the bitter one.

    I for one am happy with Connacht's attitude. With Munster falling apart and Ulster unable to perform in knock out games against us I'm delighted Connacht have stepped up to give a bit of animosity for an inter pro game :D

    Munster falling apart?

    They're lying in wait like wolves, the smell of blood in their nostrils. Waiting, interminably waiting, and then..

    If Leinster play like last week then we will win. Unfortunately back to back good performances are a rarity these days.

    My thoughts exactly. We really need Sexton to put in the same kind of performace as last week.

    Really looking forward to this and hope Leinster win it. If they don't I won't be too despondent as its been a great season for Connacht and having played GAA with Niyi be happy for him. Great for the Irish game also!!

    The Connacht jersey has a white shoulder on it and is a light green, Leinster wearing a white jersey will be too similar if you ask me.

    Kinsella also said that they reckon they've sold about 35K tickets to the game, fair play if that's true!

    Coin toss for jerseys and dressing rooms. Connacht are in the home dressing room

    Obviously trying the reverse jinx since he predicted Glasgow to beat them in both games.
