Griffin Colby is Assistant Ref at the Stormers Glasgow match in Cape Town at 6.30pm (local time) on Friday and at the Bulls Benneton match at Pretoria at 1.90pm (local time) on Saturday. Seems a strange one. Surely someone else could have been Assistant Ref at one of these.

I’d have given Pretoria a swerve in his shoes, given the ref and the TMO….

Going by the book, the Bulls Benetton game is at 1pm UK time / 2pm local time on Saturday

Highest rank side in URC Final gets home venue advantage, so all roads lead to Lansdowne Road then.

Have not seen such a depleted Leinster 23 for some time:

15. Chris Cosgrave (1), 14. Tommy O’Brien (19), 13. Jamie Osborne (16), 12. Ciarán Frawley (50), 11. Rory O’Loughlin (94), 10. Harry Byrne (32), 9. Nick McCarthy (45), 1. Andrew Porter (85), 2. Rónan Kelleher (33), 3. Thomas Clarkson (15), 4. Brian Deeny (0), 5. Jack Dunne (18), 6. Rhys Ruddock (204) CAPTAIN, 7. Scott Penny (38), 8. Max Deegan (82)

16. John McKee (0), 17. Peter Dooley (102), 18. Michael Ala’alatoa (19), 19. Josh Murphy (58), 20. Alex Soroka (3), 21. Cormac Foley (2), 22. David Hawkshaw (10), 23. Martin Moloney (5)

It's all about progressing in the H Cup for us. Nothing else matters for our fan base. Keep the front liners wrapped up.

At least Griffin Colby doesn’t have so far to travel this weekend Connacht will do well to win again with both Adamson and Immelman.

Connacht 21-10 up against the sharks at half time.

Connacht have now collapsed. 31 21 and bonus point to Sharks after 55 mins.

Sharks hit back with 21 unanswered points. 31-21.

41 21 to Sharks. As usual Ulster hopes of other sides doing them a favour are disappointed.

It means they don’t have to beat us in the last round of fixtures.
