Rabbo Pro 12 Final thread(Teams included)

First topic message reminder :

Right, now, we know the teams, we know the venue, how do we think this one will pan out ? Although there is less at stake, I think that this game will be a lot better than HC final, and with Leinster having home advantage, it is hard to look past a Leinster win, but the Ospreys have been to the RDS this season and won so they will not fear going to Dublin, also Tandy has come in and breathed fresh air into the squad, but I still think Leinster will win but it will be very close, probably just a score in it. So I am going for Leinster by 3pts.

15: Rob Kearney 14: Fergus McFadden 13: Brian O'Driscoll 12: Gordon D'Arcy 11: Isa Nacewa 10: Jonathan Sexton 9: Eoin Reddan

You can stamp on someone's hand/arm if they won't release the ball. He did it in front of the ref there was nothing in it.

OK, thats wrong for a start because that is not allowed. As for my comment, if you read on further, you will also see that i said that it looked bad in real time which is why i asked the question.

I admit it too, but only after the photos of her in the short black skirt

The voice of reason has surfaced from his whisky ridden hovel to face the flack - Cheers Gibson, you're a true rugby man. I have felt the pain mate on many occasions; particularly as a welsh fan. OGara dropping last minute drop goals etc etc. It's taken me weeks on occasion but we always need to come back for more. Eirebilly is a great poster on here and I learn a lot from his balance in victory and defeat. Heineken Champs again, you remain the template for success - O's seem to have found a decent coaching team and have gone back to their traditional roots without the galacticos. Honest rugby.

It took Gibbo two days to congratulate. I did it an hour or two after......... ! But I got the beers

I had been too drunk to offer my congratualtions but now i'm basically sober so i will formally extend them.

Well done O's, it was a tough one to take but you played with belief and skill and the best team won, now please play better in Europe so that we can feel a bit better about losing!

Too much wisgi Mickado?

Hopefully we'll get your lot in the Heino pool!

That would be far too conventional for the Ospreys.
