The UAFC

We've all had complaints about refs over the season, and always will, no matter who they were. A funny example that springs to mind is Nigel Owens in Thomond Park this season...he didn't give two Leinster tries (Rob Kearney kick and chase and Hanke Van Der Merwe barging over the line) and didn't tak...

Delighted for Best. Truly deserves it.

Delighted for Hartley too, couldn't happen to a nicer fella.

Ah I'm not having a go at Ulster fans, I've a lot of respect and admiration for Ulster and always enjoy the banter with their fans. There are idiots in EVERY set of supporters, so I'm very aware it's a minority. I think maybe some fans were just a little bit over excited on the day is all! :D It did...

Personally it didn't overly bother me (or the Leinster players for that matter), but the constant booing and shouting for Sextons kicks, the fact that the announcer had to request respect for both kickers (Pienaar and Ulster were shown perfect respect by Leinster), booing of the Leinster team announ...

Hard luck today to all the Ulster Men (and women). I thought it was an extremely tight match and whoever lost was going to be sickened by it. Both teams had their chances, Leinster were left defending for long periods of the game, but I think that was the difference in the end, Leinster just had tha...

That's a good selection by Joe, it will hopefully be enough to beat Stade, but guys like Leo, McLoughlin, BOD, Healy, Struass, Jenno etc. being given an easy load / rested this week with an eye on Ulster.

Noice!

Any chance of the Ulster men back some of their allocation? Would 9,000 come down to Dublin? Serious shortage of tickets down this neck of the woods, a good chunk of season ticket holders will miss out on a ticket and absolutely no chance of a public sale.

We were very lucky to make it through. Not to take away from Glasgow, who were very very good, but Leinster were very poor at the same time. Accuracy was terrible, defence was very poor, we really lacked our usual intensity and creativity. Well, we'll take it anyway. Commiserations to Glasgow thoug...

Bit of a joke if Leinster win this league. Nowhere near the best team....but unfor, are fav's to win with a home final. Hammer - did you feel the same bfoer the Heiny final last year regarding Ulster? Or the same when Leinster lost two home finals to Ospreys after winning the league and by far bein...

Very impressive win from the Ulster men, fair play.

Hopefully we'll join you in the final!

Ah Matty is a decent chap. :cowboy: Although I do quite dislike the memories of his time as Ulster coach. I feel that the Ulster team (much like his time at Scotland) of the day was completely incompatible with the type of rugby he wanted to play. The Ulster team of today would be ideal for a coach ...

There was talk weeks ago on the Leinster forum that they wanted the traditional Leinster/Munster Aviva league match scrapped with Ulster now being preferred. Very few turnips have made the trip up in the last two years and they think with Ulster on the rise and the noise that the fans bring it is t...

Looks great. The picture from behind really does give an idea of the scale also. Very excited to visit it next season. Any idea when they plan to knock the main stand? Will they do it next season or wait until the off season (i.e. roughly this time next year)?

For the life of me, I can't understand the thinking behind this. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but that's the whole point, all of Leinster are delighted about this, and would make second place in the league as good as first place for us, should we achieve that and then make the final.
