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.

AW Jones was playing the ball on the ground, one of the first things they teach you at underage is not to do that. Moronic penalty, last two penalties have been very stupid, as was that quick lineout. Os too full of passion, not enough reason?

ospreys are hitting the self destruct button

Penalty try for Leinster coming?

guess work at the scrum again

Phew, the penalty went the right way for a change!

Cool heads lads!

Adam jones collapsing again

Taking Webb off

Fussell is the biggest liability for the Ospreys he is useless and costing points.

No. Scrum. O's put in.

Reddan's decision making has been excellent as always. Nearly always passes to the right man off the ruck. Very under rated.

Ospreys scrum really dominating now.

Barely hanging in there now are the O's.

What a fine decision .

The ref has sussed the scrums out now, every scrum is a penalty for the Ospreys, not suprising the Ospreys pack is monstrous and very aggressive.

20min and 7 points in it. My money is still on the Ospreys. Sorry Leinster fans.

They just got destroyed two scrums ago.

Good try?

SHANE!!!

Oh has he done it???

Please say yes, that was such a lovely build up to a try!!

SHANE WILLIAMS!!!!

Was he in try.

Its "any reason" question

Brilliant try by Williams if he got this down.

I hope Shane got that. He ain't scored many for the O's this season it seems.

Wow, good try

That is a proper wingers try

Now if Poite doesn't award that try....

Looks a good try for Shane.

High tackle could not even stop him

HE IS JUST THE GIFT THAT KEEP ON GIVING!

Jesus, Reddan deserves a card for that too.

Potential Williams try- this is a feckin' class final! Got it all; tries, controversy, physicality, aggro and skill.

Cais!!

Well done Williams.

what a way to finish your career.

poor from leinster not even shane should of been able to squeeze in there

Game on.

you guys and girls are more exciting than the radio... cheers

O's back in it now. Try allowed.

23 - 21. Just missed the conversion. GAME ON!

Shane hasn't been great recently - but he is still a class finisher, what a way to go out.

Biggar misses the conversion from out wide.

Its gonna be close

23 - 21

ah merde, missed the kick, but it was a tough one, could be v costly that.

C'mon the O's!

Too close to call. Ospreys want it bad.
