Ah, well, Leinster were very well behaved back in the day.

In fairness, there was a wee dribble of land along the bottom that was New Leinster. So maybe Seanie was involved...

Fun fact - the North Island of New Zealand used to be called New Ulster. The South, New Munster.

It is a beautiful, beguiling part of the world... no part of it was ever called New Leinster.

All genuinely true.

As a Munster fan from the North Island, that fact makes me sad.

Munster

No chance for a last display of Rob Kearnage to annoy the Zeboites on Munsterfans...pity.....

Most decorated player in Irish rugby history......

Come on Munster. be very very nice to get the win here

The winner of the cup will come from this game I think

Lads I'm not on fakebook.

I can log in on the wife's account but there's no link etc there. Does it automatically start streaming on the page when the match starts?

Disgusting hubris. For that, i hope Munster lose.

Thought Munster would've went with Wycherley as that front five seems underpowered. Although for Leinster I don't think Ryan is available yet and Toner will probably start to bolster the set piece. Munsters lack of power may not be as noticeable.

Leinster are the dominant force in Irish rugby now.They can roll out class players
from their academy at will.Munster are heading for another loss(sadly).

thomond2006 · 04-09-2020 6:35pm

Gavin Coombes in for Haley. Wycherley will wear #23.

If you have a smart TV you can install the "Facebook Watch" app , doesn't look like you need to login to see the Eir Sport page in the app

Low rent mind games. The last resort of a busted flush.

Munster

Agreed.

Absolutely a ploy from Van Graan for whatever reason.

rayd3 · 04-09-2020 6:55pm

A late change. An even more disgraceful sin than Liam Toland giving the wrong player MOTM. 6000 word column incoming on Monday!

aloooof · 04-09-2020 6:59pm

Anyone any ideas if they're showing the build-up on the FB page, or what time the stream starts?

On the match itself, I fear the -8 on Leinster is a shade generous, but you never know...

thomond2006 · 04-09-2020 6:59pm

Eir TV via Chromecast not working. Wonderful.

A ringing endorsement of Munster's backs.

Shut up Buer.

Has the stream on Eir’s Facebook page begun yet? I put on what I thought was the stream but it quickly turned into Formula 1 and now Boxing...

Say no to bullying.

Unless you're the Munster pack. The you say "See you twice next season for our bi-annual humiliation."

Only joking. It's three times every season at this stage including your annual semi-final shaming.

The fact they're playing two blindside flankers in the centres should tell you all you need to know.

Buer unless you can fix Eir TV I don't want to hear from you.

My 77 year old mother would like to know where she can get Liam Toland's hair cut.

FACECUTTR · 04-09-2020 7:17pm

Can it be viewed if you dont have Facebook?

Poorside · 04-09-2020 7:17pm

Stream is starting at 7:30

thomond2006 · 04-09-2020 7:19pm

No login is working (thanks for trying Buer!) so FB it is...

She could probably bring him to most barbers, very nice of her.

For those waiting on the stream, there's a few clips of the build-up on the eir Sport twitter account:

(As is often the way, Murray K's analysis prob most interesting).

Somehow without those 2 a couple of weeks back we were only a missed conversion from a draw.

Two tries while Leinster were down to 14 men. As long as Leinster can get through the game with 15 men. I don’t think Munster will create scoring chances.

Clegg · 04-09-2020 7:25pm

Munster

I'd be more confident if Ryan was fit. Two weeks ago was a dress rehearsal and tonight Munster will be much tougher. I feel if Leinster can secure their own ball if the lineout they'll win. I'm presuming the mistakes they made at the breakdown will also be cut back.
