Underdogs + 40,000+ people behind them + getting back the winning habit this season = reasons to be optimistic.

I do find it strange that Munster are supposedly the underdogs.

I think Munster are well suited to cause Saracens a lot of problems.

Saracens enjoy playing against teams that have porous defences and allow Saracens to control the breakdown - I don't think Munster will allow either.

Saracens are Champs.  You gotta live with the titles and the favouritism that comes with it.  And in Saracen's case, the favouritism seems well placed in the game they bring.

Munster have past glories and pretty decent form but it's the side that has to reprove itself as capable of getting to the top.  One game away.  Should be a Meaty encounter.

Maybe but it's one of those games that is very hard to call for Munster . While the team have been winning (mostly) they haven't been at all convincing.

I just think Munster will pose similar challenges that Ireland did and Saracens won't find it easy. Especially as the game is in Ireland and there will be a lot of emotion from the Munster camp for obvious reasons.

Sure the Aviva isn't Thomond Park but just means more Irish can fit into the stadium.

I do think Saracens are capable of causing an upset and will field a strong side but Munster are as I keep saying one of the sides best suited to causing Saracens issues.

Travelling to Ireland isn't easy as England and Wasps have found this year.

I agree in a way. Very dicey game to say what might happen. But if they can bring mental heat as a team to the encounter - that bit of controlled sustained rage..... it might be a good day.

Here's hoping. An All Ireland final would be nice (savage but nice)

It would not be an upset if Saracens win. They are the champions and Europe's best team with five Lions in their pack.

As a neutral I like Munster they are full of passion and commitment, hard as nails. I admire that. Always enjoy their games with Tigers. At the same time part of me wants to see a Sarries vs Leinster final. Can Leinster cut open that Sarries defence, can that Leinster backrow cut off the supply to the Sarries machine. Plus Farrell vs Sexton.

I'd expect some late Lions wildcard entries for Jersey as a result. Cool

You should be fine. Clermont are good but they aren't a classic side. A bruising encounter but I think Leinster will have to many attacking options.

Saracens are carrying the premiership flag today (plus might I add the promise of England and the dream of the Lions), so there's no to much expectation.
Having said that this Saracens squad is the best I have seen in England in over a decade and are coached by probably one of the greats of the modern game anywhere.
Absolutely fascinating.

Did you watch? Cracking second half of rugby. Munster A down 0-18 before a try before half time and then just outplayed Jersey in the second half. Was a great game.

He hasn't spoken with me today, however I understand he doesn't go in for nationality as a rule. More of omnipresent sort of thing. You know?

Not a yellow card for the tackle but far too many incidents from Sarries.

First contact with the head should be yellow. But it doesn't seem it's often reffed like that since the first week of the new rule.
