    Normally, i wouldn't really care, but this being the final chance of an Irish side winning a trophy this season, it would be unusuall to see us win nothing.

    Who do you think will win the trophy this seson?
    I doubt Ulster will sucsessfully defend the cup, but i would have to put it down to a three horse race between Ospreys, Munster and Leinster.

    My heart sais Leinster, but my head sais Ospreys. Unless of course Lions players might only play a half role in the knock-out competition, as this is the final year, any teams may want to give them a rest ahead of the tour so they can be in better shape for the start of next season.

    If second string sides are played, my money is on Llanelli.

    Munster for the cup! Ater the "heartless lions" performances that Leinster are renowned for when any pressure is applied they can be ruled out. Ospreys Munster final

    Leinster nearly threw the game away....glasgow were a very limited side but leinster were so laissez faire at times we made them look good. Defensive system has gone to ****e

    i would agree with you there, i saw endinburgh play the ospreys a while ago and they definately looked good they were very unlucky to lose, also they bet leinster(fair enough not really hard these days)

    the national team can play well in the lose and plenty of hard ball carriers but once the ball gets tightened up and put under the jumper they find it impossible to defend. Also i think Mike Blair is better than Cris Cuister. It is a shame that Paterson any is not going but when a team plays that bad a individual player cant shine
