    As far as I can see Leinster have now finished first in the league, can't be caught.

    Yip and it looks odds on The Ospreys finishing runners up. Could still be Leinster Munster in the semi's but more likely Leinster Glasgow.

    Cant see Ulster playing a full strength team next Friday now as their chance of a top 4 finish is all but gone.

    Surely they have to. Going 3 weeks without a game won't help their top players come semi-final time.

    Should be a pretty full on game but I think Joe will mix things up a bit. Ulster would be mad to play Ferris in this game imo.

    I reckon he'll send a strong team up to Ravers but sub the main players on 55 mins no matter what's going on in the game.

    Would be good to get madigan on for another half an hour in a hostile game against quality opposition, where we're not flinging it around for fun.

    We'll definitely send a strong enough team against Ulster. I doubt it will differ much if at all form the team we played against Cardiff.

    Might see Heaslip, D'Arcy and Isa rested next week, the Clermont game would be five weeks in a row if they play against Ulster (would be six for Isa).

    I think D'arcy has stated before that he feels more comfortable not being rested. As in, he feels that breaks don't do his rugby good.

    D'arcy is on 198 appearances for Leinster, he just wants to get the 200 this season.

    He passed the 200 mark during the Munster game according to LR.

    I thought someone had but couldn't remember who. The 198 is as listed on the Leinster website and it includes for Friday nights game so I dunno were the mistake is.

    It'll be close enough to the semi-final team. Ross has to play, we don't want him going into the Clermont game after a three-week break, Healy the same.

    The second-row is where the real dilemma is, IMO. Toner was pretty impressive the other night, as he has been all season, but the Clermont pack is pretty big and with Cudmore and Hines in the second-row, there could well be an argument for Browne. I have no clue how Joe is going to play it.

    RDS... doubt they would move to Lansdowne unless they got Munster tbh.... even then I'd have it at the RDS.

    Only 14k turned up for the semi last year so I wouldn't worry about tickets.
