    For me, interestingly (if not by choice) having Fardy, Ryan and Toner on the pitch at the same time, could give us our greatest impact, especially against the mail and rook time.

    This won't be easy, Saracens seem to rediscovered their mojo.
    I think Leinster will win it though, think they just have too much in the backs on offense.

    Just a heads up it's on BT Sports 2, not Sky Sports

    I almost don't want to watch this game. The thoughts of potentially losing to Saracens after going 6/6 are killing me.

    What's the protocol for media seats in the Aviva? Half are always empty. It's such a waste.
