I'd say there is a high possibility that this is his last season with us.

Weather conditions will make it damp underfoot, so could really do with marty moore to start at 3. Would seriously consider Murphy or Jones at 6, couldn't be much worse off. Be nice if sexton made it back on time as it allows a bit more depth on the bench with gilly there as a break glass option.

That’s a hell of a pack for Leinster. Sh!tty weather forecast so we may be at a slight disadvantage there. And we might have Matty. Our backs can cope with theirs though.
Really need BB to step up and play the corners when possible. This might be a night for Jordi’s experience.
High winds forecast also, so might not be a game for Sexton. Sexton senior would pepper him with high balls all night.

Huge advantage for leinster off the bench. We will give it a lash but no way can ulster be deemed favourites for this. Need some flashes of brilliance and a bit of luck along the way also.

Who'd have thought a few years ago that the sub props would be our strongest replacements!

Is Nordi injured at the minute?

[Dublin4]

That's a very strong Ulster side. It will be a big challenge for Leinster. Some players may come of age tomorrow night.

[HammerTime]

Good team but there’s zero impact of the bench other than perhaps M Moore.

[MightyRearranger]

Thon emerging Ireland tour really is a waste of time. Half of the starting team (7) for tomorrow are Ulster players who'd very likely be in the 23 for a full blooded inter-pro here if they weren't away. Is trying to impress in a scratch side against Currie Cup teams without their best players, really supposed to do more for them than playing in a derby like this. Even Farrell didn't think it was worth travelling to South Africa to watch. Leinster have lost a good few too, though their squad depth is without a doubt better. Looking at the benches in my opinion it clearly hurts us more.

Will be very interesting to see how Sexton gets on against Larmour. I remember him looking a stand out player for the A team while he was still at school, but this is only his second start and also, I think, the first time we'll have seen him in a 'big' match.
