I suppose the big question is whether Exeter can find a chink in Leinster’s larmour...

What a godawful time for a match

I think Leinster will win this with a TBP to be honest.

Well don't have BT. Is this on the radio anywhere?

Might be an extended off the ball for it?
Irish Times did a live blog of the ulster game earlier

I'd be worried about this one tbh. Two strong teams and home advantage is always a help.

Yeah, OTB covered the Munster game last night.

Edit: They're on air until seven this evening, so presumably covering it. although there's also a Manchester derby going on too.

Eh little optimistic I think. Exeter by a couple of points. They've a very very good team.

I think we'll be lucky with an LBP.

I realise pretty much all the English sides have been shown up as poor this weekend, but Exeter (and sarries) are different.
It's a settled, well drilled, powerful and fit exeter team. It's a very good, but a quite unsettled leinster team. I've a feeling it will be a low scoring game where a yellow card might be the difference.
