Leinster 28 - 32 Munster

I think Leinster v Munster will be a high scoring affair. Some key names gone from Leinster for the game which will open up the field. Munster to win by 4 in the end but to be in a comfortable position going into the last 10 minutes.

Even though often Leinster/Munster can cancel each other out, there is lots of pace in the wide channels and the weather will be good, the ground firm. Expect it to be a high scoring game.

Fingers crossed Leinster are now burnt out, after their enthrawling final last week, and Munster can take this game.

Nothing to do with the fact, that I reckon the Scarlets will have a better chance against them than Leinster... Whistle

I'll be praying to an ancient pagan god of Ireland tomorrow that Munster will win. Not that I feel they need the help or anything. But since I've discovered him and his sympathy for rugby he has yet to let me down. Indeed I worry that since Alan Quinlan retired and he stopped bringing in holy water that his mother collected from holy sites that Munster have been lacking in supernatural blessings. This will be a real test though. If Munster win tomorrow I'll start to build an alter dedicated to him and consider sacrificing my firstborn in his honour. Here's hoping for a Munster victory!

I actually think that Munster have a chance today. Leinster without Sexton are a different team.

That said, Leinster could well do a number on Munster as well.

I must admit to being happy to see JJ start at 10 over Keatley. I feel Keatley is probably more stable but has never really been a big match player to me. JJ has the ability to create things out of nothing but can also have very off games.

I have long said that Munster will not win anything until they get an excellent 10 to run the back line.

Why would he? He was done twice there, 1 by a powerful run by Lowe (many players have suffered the same with Lowe) and the second by a beautiful piece of play and sidestep by Lowe.

Leinster really are some team, just able to adjust to the in game situations better than any other team. Wonderfully coached.

If you were to be critical of Lowe (which is probably harsh) a more experienced winger should have held onto the ball

Was that a 'no arm tackle' from Isa on Conway there when Munster were on the break?

This is exactly the kind of play that needs to get stamped out of the game and deserved a red.

However i'm glad this was only a yellow as this would have ruined this as a contest.

Zebo is complete liability.

For all the things I say about Keatley, that was an excellent cover tackle on Ringrose, Ringrose looked away there.

Well congrats to Leinster and their fans. The better team won.

I thought the fairy tale ending was on when Zebo made the break with Earls towards the end but alas not to be. Zebo will be very missed at Munster.

Leinster, well go on and get the double.

In fairness, he does not miss many and no player makes all their tackles. I am sure Racing will be more delighted with his counter attacking prowess, try's and try assists more than anything else thumbsup
