Leinster playing v 16 tonight.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

Looks like Munster are taking this seriously!

Cant blame them, its a nothing game for them, would be worse if it wasn't at Thomond, expect an Ulster BP now.

I think 14 of the Munster squad were also in the squad when we played them at Murrayfield albeit during the 6N. They have qualified and earned the freedom to rest players after the Euro match, Glasgow could as well, but they really need to find some form ahead of the semi.

It is still in our own hands, go out and win our game and we do not have to worry about anything else.

On a slightly different angle listening to the wireless last night about Arsenal

THe discussion was that’s sports a business so Arsenal should rest players going to OLd Trafford as the important game was the Madrid retur this week.

So Munsters important game is the playoff. No one there will remember this Ulster game in years to come. They might remember us beating them at thomond

And on that theme Munster's home QF/ play-off (irrespective of opponent) has been scheduled for 3.15pm next Saturday (5th May). Presumably the other QF will be on the Friday night (4th May).
Incidentally Glasgow's SF (irrespective of opponent) has been scheduled for Friday 18th May at 7.45pm.

Remind me : what happens if Ulster win without bonus point and if we lose without bonus point ?
We'll be on equal standing at 64 points : who will qualify ?

We'll be 3rd and Ulster 4th (number of wins is the next tiebreaker if two teams are level on points).

Flurry of tries in second half takes 2nd off the table. Always a long shot but was starting to hope at half time!

We are going to need a point I think. Ulster playing well and Munster just not got a good enough side out to beat them.

Yep, 5 points for Ulster looking almost inevitable now.

Heaps the pressure on us, although sure Cockers and the lads will be ignoring the other game entirely.
