I thought Leinster were supposed to have loads of back rows.

They do. Many are injured though: Doris, Deegan, Leavy, Will Connors and Scott Penny now I believe. Plus James Ryan.

Baird can play back row. He could probably do a job on the wing. His top speed is faster than most of the backs. Absolute freak of nature.

6 senior backrows injured.

Imagine Ulster backrow minus 5/6 senior players! Final is live on Premier Sports 1, Eir Sport 1 & TG4 on Saturday 5pm KO.

Could they go to uncontested tackling?

Ulster used to do that in the past.

Ah yes. The Les Kiss era.

Munster look half asleep.

Who do we want to win? Globo gym or Bogtrotters?

Are they reshuffling the conference's next season?

Bluenoses will win. The difference in defensive linespeed is like night and day.

Joey no interest in tackling.

Ref a bit biased towards Munster imo, lucky to be level neville at half time
