First topic message reminder :

Surprised there's no thread already. Leinster massive favourites at home. Cardiff Blues coming in under the radar.

Could there be an upset?

This time 6 years ago an unfancied Leinster travelled to the home of European Rugby. To a team that would have just won 3 in a row but for the famous Rob Howley try in 04. (They won in 03 and 05 and lost in the dying minutes of the 04 final)

Leinster played the most incredible game against them and took Toulouse out of it. (Sadly blew it on Black Sunday v Munster in the semi, and then lost the Celtic league to a late drop goal by David Humphries in Wales on the last day of the league)

Could Cardiff Blues pull a similar stroke? Will Jamie Roberts play? Is Sam Warburton really out? How fit is Gethin? Henson is defo out anyway.

Leinster have close to a full deck......... Worried about any knockout game, and worried about the low key buildup here and the fact that the Blues could put one big game together and give us a shock.

I was at the RDS before Christmas when Leinster put 50 on the Blues. This could match that I'm afraid.

BLues have got to score next if they've any chance.

They need to cut out the silly errors though, they're hamstrining themselves if they keep up with the ill discipline.

These are all Irishmen playing this brand of rugby. The only reason Ireland aren't playing like this is the Coach.

okay seriously i'm starting to get baffled. Every time the BLues are going forward he's pinging them for going in from the side at the ruck, but I've seen Leinster do it at least 3 times now, and nothing.

All I want is consistency.

Lovely kick there by Sexton.

Rava - it isn't topical, Ireland aren't playing here Leinster are, this has nothing to do with Kidney. It's jsut a bit of a Broken Record that all Irish threads turn into a Kidney debate is all.

wow okay, complete overraction there Rava. Not sure where that's come from?

Anyway, back to the rugby being played. Not sure how the Blues are going to be able to come back form this. Their bench is loads weaker then Leinster's as well. Have a horrible feeling this could get even messier Sad

Leinster awesome. As you say, obviously coached very well. Cardiff are a total embarrassment as predicted. A bunch of demoralised guys who are going to be on the end of of a record breaking hiding.

No, she's just making a point. Relax in your cacks and enjoy the match for what it is.

Grandiloquent observations about the state of the game can come later.

Andrews is way out of his depth, it also does not help when you have an 8 that does not push. These joke coaches have to go the mid field defence is terrible, could do with Henson even with blurred vision he may tackle someone.

Leinster are back to back champs playing like this. They look so relaxed yet so effective. A good hammering (which all Wales fans predicted, but the Irish didn't :s) should see B & B go. Shouldn't it?

who can they afford to bring in, Morg?

Am not sure how much Leinster are going to be able to take from this match. Tis nice for them to work the moves in the backs, but they're hardly being challenged, are they?

C'mon Blues, better 2nd half please, get a bit of pride back in your shirt!

Not sure who, but Blues fans have been saying anyone but these two. A big overhaul is needed and it doesn't just stop at the coaches. Question is will that even happen.

We all knew Leinster can but some electric back play together when given the chance. The trick is to stop their pack and deny them the opportunities. Because they'll invariably take them with style. If Leinster take you up front, they take you apart.

Only Ospreys and some French teams have the ability to stop the Leinster pack, on a good day for them that is. Leinster are just class. Predicting Blues play too easily and not even playing to the best of their ability.

argh, my food is ready, going to miss the rest of this half (although from a Welsh fan's perspective, that's not a bad thing really!)

Enjoy the rest of it, Leinster fans OK
