The Rabo Pro12 Final - RDS - 25th May - Leinster V Ulster

by clivemcl Mon 20 May 2013, 8:19 am

First topic message reminder :

Well, there's been little chat on here for Ulster fans lately, so I decided to create a thread to try an encourage some build up!

My wifes birthday is on friday, and I long ago booked myself to do some work in Galway that day. Naughty naughty Clive! To make up for it, I booked a long weekend for the missus and the wee man to come.

Then I realise when the Rabo Final is. Long story short, I've rearranged hotels, Travelling from Galway to Dublin hotel for the weekend, and got two tickets through the supporters club!

I'll be in the North Stand, and we are going to attempt to bring little Ruan in the baby carrier! Is that mad???

Anyways, I'll put team info in here when it becomes available.

I have this weird fantasy that keeps coming to me, that Ferris will surprisingly be fit and named after having been kept top secret! There has been no timescale on his current injury since February when they stated he would probably miss the season.

Will Luke Marshall be allowed to play?

Any injury worries?

Will Leinster care more about this game than they did the Amlin final? (Honestly, barely a smile at final whistle!)

6-16 at 39:35.

by Pot Hale Sat 25 May 2013, 5:28 pm

Jonny being tested again. And he sails it over.

16-6 to the real home boys.

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:29 pm

Ulster will be annoyed they've been denied a penalty try and a penalty there.

HT 6-16...I need a brew.

by LeinsterFan4life Sat 25 May 2013, 5:30 pm

Penalty try??? Where?

by Hookisms and Hyperbole Sat 25 May 2013, 5:33 pm

So just like their players, Munster referees are not very good. He hasn't a clue at the breakdown and both teams are suffering. Ulster more so because they are giving penalties away in kickable positions and Leinster aren't. Diack is having a very good match but needs a boot in the hole for that try. The scrum penalty try issue was 50/50- I think Williams had broken his bind so he maybe got that one right.

The referee had to be consistent on the breakdown and he isn't so far. Both teams are suffering.

The Chef just said that as it happened. He sends man-hugs.

Story Ozzy? Ale

Its a very tough game to ref but Lacey should just relax on the whistle a bit. If he just lets the game go things will take care of thenselves.

by LeinsterFan4life Sat 25 May 2013, 5:37 pm

Oh and Jenno is such a legend. Such a brilliant player

It was a silly call from Muller to go for the scrum. No chance an Irish ref is going to give Ulster a penalty try in the RDS. Should have kicked the 3 ...

Really? Naaah.

by Guest Sat 25 May 2013, 5:41 pm

Ulster just need to read the ref a bit more, and play accordingly. Wind is at our backs now for the second half, and if we can score early then a win is more than possible.

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:41 pm

Right come on Ulster...Leinster can be beaten in finals and at home...ten points is quite a gap though. GULP!

'bout ye Gibbo, miss yer face bud guinness

Bet you and Chef are having a blast. I'm only catching bits of the game as redecorating and am in the middle of painting the girls room.

Still, I'm going Ulster by 10! Wink

If Leinster score first, Ulster are bhuggered....

Ulster 6 - IRFU/Leinster 16

by ME-109 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:45 pm

Trimble could be cited...very dangerous

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:45 pm

Lovely gratutitous shot of Tommy in the sun there, thank you RTÉ Smile

You beautiful, naive, mad, impetus, romantic, fool you. We are Leinster.

The Chef asks if the girls room is as pink as your spectacles? kiss

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:46 pm

Oh no....Ulster no.6 in the bin now too. This is going teets...

by GLove39 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:46 pm

Not the best game for Diack, blow a try scoring opportunity & now in the sin bin

by Pot Hale Sat 25 May 2013, 5:47 pm

Why was Diack carded?

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 25 May 2013, 5:47 pm

Not yet Gibbo, but it soon will be! Laugh

by LeinsterFan4life Sat 25 May 2013, 5:47 pm

Bad call by the ref

by ME-109 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:48 pm

Not sure what the complaints are. Ulster are trying it on at the breakdown and lacey is having none of it..

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:49 pm

Woah! High tackle on Wee Paddy! Nacewa you d*ck!

by wales606 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:49 pm

Case for a penalty try?

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 25 May 2013, 5:49 pm

If this is a penalty for the high tackle, has to be a penalty try as well.

by Pot Hale Sat 25 May 2013, 5:50 pm

Gatty grinning from ear to ear now as Jonny delivers another dagger to the Ulster heart.

19-6 to Leinster

by **rodders** Sat 25 May 2013, 5:50 pm

Wrong player binned there.

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:50 pm

No penalty try just the three points from Roo.

9-19 at 45:58.

by ME-109 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:50 pm

Looking at the Ulster supporters..i always thought partition was the best thing that happened in ireland

by Pot Hale Sat 25 May 2013, 5:51 pm

And Nacewa dirties his bib in his final match as he gets marching orders.

19-9

by GLove39 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:51 pm

Heaslip's lucky not to get binned. Took out Pienar 5m out in front of the posts, should have been 2 yellow cards there

Who should have gone?

I don't think it was intentional, just a doh! moment really.

OK, just read the above posts...I get your comment now. I missed that.

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:53 pm

Great take by Conway - shame he's not thinking like a Munster man yet Wink

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:53 pm

Madigan did well to get away from a Tommy Tackle there...but held on.

by wales606 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:54 pm

Tommy Bowe has to start for the Lions

by Guest Sat 25 May 2013, 5:54 pm

Tommy Bowe excellent stuff!

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 25 May 2013, 5:54 pm

Get in. Ruan you beauty.

by Cari Sat 25 May 2013, 5:55 pm

wales606 wrote:Tommy Bowe has to start for the Lions

You know what, I'd rather he didn't. I'm worried about injury I don't want him to play too many games....selfish I know Wink

GAME ON!

12-19 at 50:39

by Pot Hale Sat 25 May 2013, 5:55 pm

And Ruan delivers another one.

19-12

Oooh, it's getting hot in here.

I think Nacewa's tackle was ok but there was an offside at the ruck straight after...can't remember which Leinster player...

Tell me about duckie, Heaslip was all over Tommy then and he wasn't after his ball! Smile

Great pass from BOD to Rory there.

But then you wouldn't get to see him in red Cari Wink

by Pot Hale Sat 25 May 2013, 5:58 pm

Jeez! Leinster leaking penalties by the new time.

Ruan should nail this one.

by GLove39 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:58 pm

Thought Ulster should have gone for touch there

by GLove39 Sat 25 May 2013, 5:59 pm

But fair play amazing kick by Pienar
