    Missing a family communion ourselves. Some things are just too important... on the 1030 ferry now, looks to be about 5:1 green to blue. Hon Connacht!

    I think you underestimate how good the first choice Irish out half, first choice Lions out half and world player of the year nominee is, regardless of how well McGinty has performed in the Pro12.

    We're talking about one match, and on 80 minutes he can hold the comparison

    Only in so far as he plays to his best and Sexton doesn't.

    If they both play to the best of their abilities, it's a pointless comparison. It would be like saying Noel Reid can hold a comparison to Bundee Aki over 80 minutes.

    not the same IMO, kicking game to the post is the only area where the gap is as wide as you might expect, if both play the same % of their best

    Sexton has the big game experience. Him on his own is probably the mainreason why Leinster are favourites. Mc Ginty is a good player but there is no comparrison. You would back Sexton aganst any OH in the world.

    Sexton misses games regularly, hope it's today.

    Yeah I wonder will Connacht target him? A few early marginally late hits could disrupt him I guess?

    I doubt it. He is well used to dealing with that sort of stuff.

    Some great pics doing the rounds on Twitter.

    Saw a tweet earlier from someone in Newcastle saying there were hoards of Leinster fans at the station waiting for the Edinburgh train.

    It feels like there's a bit more excitement all around this year.

    Yeah, it's great to see, especially for the Pro12.

    Goddammit. I really want Leinster to win, but Connacht winning would be super for Irish rugby.

    Connacht have Ireland's finest on board. What hope do Leinster have?
