Im going a bit left field here but what about Victor Gresev he has been released by Wasps didn't play much there dues to their injury crisis and the number or foreign players allowed in the matchday squad. Though he was in many pundits pick for the best forwards at the world cup plays 6/8 very quick...

Interesting post on planet rugby There is a very interesting interview with Mick Dawson, CEO Leinster Rugby in the business section of the Irish edition of the ST. Paywall precludes a linky, but the main points, inter alia, are : Leinsters Revenues are about €15m a year, a lot more than certainly I...

Indeed in reading his article and listening to some of his commentary during Ulster games he has come round to seeing that Ulster are a very good team but that Leinster quite rightly are a better team and will start as favourites. I think he may be suffering from his reputation of past comments in t...

PS I would live to have seen what the odds were before our last final in '99 as I have a feeling they could've been even longer. Irish Times Gerry Thornley 28 Jan 1999 Paddy Powers full odds for the final are: To win outright - 8/11 Ulster, 1/1 Colomiers. Over 80 minutes - 4/5 Ulster, 16/1 draw, 11...

Kearney vs Terblanche BOD VS Cave Sexton vs Jackson Thats where their massive advantage comes from. These are all Backline match up which can be very much negated by the forwards and will not matter much if one pack has superiority over the other the old saying goes "Forwards win matches, the ...

I don't think much matters what jurnos say before the game most have a look at the bookies odds and go with the favourites as it will give them more of chance to get things right with their prediction. Also while on that subject I suspect few of the "experts" actually watch our team as muc...

Last Knight I'm afraid you are wrong on this one. That was as close to a full strength team they could put out except for a couple of injuries to key players. They were well marshalled by a huge Glasgow defence which was up quick and restricted their movement especially on Sexton who struggles when ...

I wouldn't say Leinster played within themselves the weegies restricted them very well and with a bit more attacking force they could've put more pressure on Leinster however it must be said how shocking Clancy was tonight completely inept worse than some of the Minor league refs I have faced playin...

And another one off Cian Healy with a knee I'm now very glad we didn't have to play this week

Two tabs up on the computer using BBC iplayer

Commentator just described Kearney jr as a 'Bag of Ferrets' in reference to how hard he is to bring down he is Bill McLaren 2.0 top quality stuff also unlike S4C they are in the ground

I would really suggest listening to the Scottish commentary the guy doing most of the talking has a touch of the Bill McLaren about him brings back memories of my childhood much better than the guff served up by the rest of the BBC and Sky

Also the ex-player analysing on 5live is not a George Clancy fan so its not only us from Ulster who feel hard done by him lol

Eggs I'm using the internet and the picture of bbc iplayer is better than using an internet streaming service also they scottish commentary on 5live is very good so im happy enough. Not sure D'arcy was completely out but took some time to treat him and he look very jelly legged coming off so would a...

Just watching the Rabo Semi Final combination of radio 5live sports extra and BBC Alba looks like D'arcy could be out of the final was just taken off after being ko'd by a stray Brad Thorn knee
