    If Leinster lose, Ulster will have been more up for it, home advantage and probably the ref.

    If Ulster lose, well sure we'll have the Ulster team thread next week for those thoughts.

    Suspect on account of getting the excuses in early that Ulster will come out on top, have looked very impressive so far this season and a good bit ahead of Leinster in terms of match fitness, cohesion and application of game plan.

    Leinster by a gazillion.

    Old sexy to run down and snare young sexy in the dying moments.

    Ulster fans to blame ref.

    Definitely think Ulster have looked better in the backs than Leinster this season so far. Weather is due to be quite wet from what I hear, which, in theory, would scupper some of the back line moves that Ulster could be planning to run. I think the packs are closer than most seem to think, with the only very obvious advantages on paper being Leinster's back row vs Ulster's and I think Leinster's bench is a lot stronger. I'd expect this will be pretty close, but I think Ulster will win by less than a score.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,518 ✭✭✭Paul Smeenus


    It's miserable up here, which definitely suits Leinster more.


    I think we'll lose this one, give how heavy Leinster have gone. We often have to do without Hendo, and Marshall is playing very well in Hume's absence. But the bench is the issue for Ulster. No Doak, no Izzy, no Stewart, no McIlroy, no S. Moore.

    Is it my imagination or have there been a good few cards in the last few interpros (not just Ulster-Leinster). Odds on a red or a very contentious yellow during this game?



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    Similar or possibly worse weather in last years fixture didn’t seem to hamper Ulster too much. It was more Leinster who failed to deal with the conditions.



  • Registered Users Posts: 44 Deramore


    Brightened up now and supposed to be dry for the match. Ball will be slippy though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Kelleher has pulled out of the squad and is replaced by John McKee. Pretty sizeable blow for Leinster. The latter is a decent prospect, but Kelleher is a test quality hooker. Leinster and Irelands best when fully fit.

    Interesting debate for me between Kelleher and Sheehan if both are at their best.

    Big night now for McKee, especially being from Belfast.

    Winning a scrum against the head.

    Love seeing it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Lovely offload from Ringrose to create that try.

    Great power and pace from Baird to score.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,620 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    Beautiful hands there across the line

    Ross Byrnes passing has been much much better so far this season.



  • Registered Users Posts: 341 ✭✭bingobango12


    Great hands from Ringrose for that try



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    How on earth has Conan obstructed anyone there?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Blatant offsides being ignored and then that penalty…ffs



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,197 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    Have they no transition graphics for replays? Bizarre.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    That's an excellent, excellent maul.

    Leinster look very powerful in the right exchanges.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,172 ✭✭✭OldRio


    The director and camera work of the coverage is very poor.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Error from Byrne there, but it's off the back off an awful pass from McGrath. He's thrown a few high, loopy ones already tonight.

    The RTE commentators are some pain in the hole.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    The wide angle camera really doesn't capture how bad the rain is. The close ups show how awful conditions are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,620 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    It's on BBC2 as well but they just lost their comms!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Has the commentary for this game gone out? Only hearing the crowd on RTE and Premier Sport coverage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,620 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    Gone across the board if seems.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,631 ✭✭✭lawrencesummers


    No harm



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,752 ✭✭✭degsie


    Shyte conditions



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Turnover Ulster 6 looked good to me, maybe not on the ball long enough but losing balance was from the clear out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Leinsters set piece has been dominant this evening. It's always great to have, but when conditions are as bad as they are, it's worth even more.

    McGrath is having a other poor game. Slow, loopy passes and now a run into no man's land followed by a hospital pass.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,422 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    Worst part of the first half was the commentary coming back.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Balacoune would have scored 80 tries by now. Its a disgrace Joe.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    Some very poor decisions and passing from McGrath there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,752 ✭✭✭degsie


    This is what dominance looks like 😆



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Baird and Henshaw are having quality games. Leinsters pack has performed very well at the set piece and has been the big difference between the sides.

    Bit early for Movember isn't it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,627 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    Henshaw very lucky not to see red for his shoulder to the head against Stockdale



  • Subscribers Posts: 41,915 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    Power and composure is winning this game. It's incredibly difficult to play your way back into the game from 14 points down, in this weather, when you've that wall of blue constantly hitting you back



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    The bitterness of some does make it more enjoyable. That’s for sure.

    Kearney off according to RTE. Ngatai replaces him and moves to 15. JOB goes out to the wing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,851 ✭✭✭CMcsporty


    Genius from Cooney. SH should stick the foot out on their opposite number at scrum time more often



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Don't think RTE have actually mentioned that Stockdale hasn't returned for the second half.

    It's awful for him. Non-contact injuries are always so worrying.



  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭✭ Eleanor Sour Bayonet


    That was an unbelievable clearance from I think McGrath. Invaluable in those conditions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,620 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    Sheehan must be Leinsters starting hooked at this stage. He nearly has as many games for Leinster as Kelleher and is nearly undroppable on his current form.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,422 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    In fairness that would rarely actually work that was just a weird scrum from Leinster. Sharp of Cooney to do it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Excellent defence and then counterattack from Leinster.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,752 ✭✭✭degsie


    Yellow for Ulster not too far away for repeated infringements



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,316 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Jaysus.

    Lineout maul and scrum is utterly dominant



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Calling the wrong player now who conceded the penalty. Don’t know what’s more annoying, the commentator or this ref. Poor.
