Think this is a great point from Heaslip about different attitudes from the two sides today

Have to say I've heard him commentating and I find him absolutely shocking.

Now that Leinster have qualified to play Saracens in the final, it's probably time to start a thread about whether Leinsterfans should (a) boo Billy V every time he gets the ball or (b) send one of our less sartorially gifted supporters onto the pitch to abuse him after the final whistle.

(A third strategy might be to concentrate on the rugby, but I can't seen such a common-sense approach bearing fruit, in the light of the seriousness of Billy's crime.)

10+ isnt a prediction. The win was 18. Thats 80% over your base call. Thats essentially saying John Delaney was just paid his base salary, or something like that.

This is a very long winded way of saying "awec, you were correct once again".

Conan's increased involvement and good performances as the Six Nations progressed shows that gap has narrowed significantly.

I maintain that Stander's best form in an Irish jersey has been when he played at 6. That's not to say he's been poor at 8 because it's far from the case, but he was outstanding at 6 for Ireland.

unless POM form improves dramatically before WC , that probably should be back row - with SOB and vanderflier competing for no. 7 - if fit I'd have vanderflier starting - vanderflier , Conan, Stander

Great call awec! Let us know how the final will go!

Anyway, I await Buer to explain to us why Lowe shouldn't start the final :pac:

Have you seen that ridiculous hair?!

Great showing from J-Lo. Best winger Leinster have undoubtedly. But I'll never shake the concern that we are far better covered at winger than elsewhere. HOS on the bench fills me with dread and that could be the losing of the tournament. Dave Kearney/Adam Byrne wouldn't be nearly the same risk.

JGP over Lowe all day still.

I agree.

Put it this way: would you rather have Luke McGrath get injured in a warm up and have HOS for 80 minutes or Lowe pulls up and you get Adam Byrne for the full 80?

It's no comparison. It's not an indictment on Lowe, we just don't have any European ready quality on the bench without JGP whereas we have buckets of European quality on the wings in Kearney, Byrne, McFadden and probably even Daly as well.

Spent the whole game thinking you twat of a commentator it’s Rory Arnold not Richie.

My bad

You’d swear they were identical twins. Which it turns out they are.

He's not the only one! BOD was a great player but second career not so promising. He's reasonably OK as a pundit though.

Going to be a cracking final, an in form Sexton up against Farrell again. Can't wait.

In-form Sexton? That's about his first good performance this year, don't know how you can say he's in-form on the back of one game.

Because the strategy the fans take may affect the score?

So, on a more serious point, what's the craic with the Guinness being replaced by Murphys?

Who signed off on that?

Seemed to be an experimental game for the bars, level 1 was card payments only as well, no cash.

Indeed.

If they ape the Munster supporters in booing the Great Tweeter, they may inspire him to play exceptionally well, which could affect both the score and the result.

For the disallowed try before halftime Lowe's catch of Henshaw's pass was fantastic, does anyone have any gifs of it?
