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

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!)

Well I would...just not too often. I'd rather see him a couple of time in the Lions and go on to have a full season next rather than play all the Lions and get injured and be out for the rest of the season.

COME ON ULSTER!!!!!!!

Are Leinster going to throw away another Pro12 final?

Momentum with the boys in white.

19-15.

Clancy strikes again!

ClownShoes is up to his usual tricks.

Ruan should nail this one.

That's how the O's snatched it last year...just keep kicking the points, lads...

Nacewa's never done 10 minutes!

Is that Clancy?

Do you think someone told Rory that Hartley got injured?

Leinster attack relentlessly.

This is a cracking match.

Unfortunately it is. Snipping away from the sidelines.

Good lad Bossy! You can take the boy out of Antrim but ye canny take Antrim out of the boy....

Leo and Sparky should have a fight.

Come on Tommy...you've been here before, remember 2010....

Munster have got a great signing in Conway. Is he going on the Irish tour this summer?

What!!!

Cracking touchfinder by Jonny.

Now's the moment, Leinster.

What was Fitzgibbon doing there? I'm confused...

The fix is in! Ulster are guaranteed to moral victory anyways...

And has Heaslip done it?

TMO time

Any reason why he can't award the try?

None.

15-24 at 62:28

Oh yes!

Ah come on they could have gave Jonny that too.

Phew! Relief for Ulster in the missed conversion.

BOD knock on!

Beautiful from Pienaar

Keeps Ulster in it

Roo kicking for another three pointsit's a huge kick mind.

18-24 at 68:24. Great kick.

RP you legend

Leinster on the attack now though, what's the betting they reply with a score...

Lovely hands there, but Ulster fluff it!

Jeebus. What's the score anyone?

George Carlin wrote:Jeebus. What's the score anyone?

18:24 with less than ten minutes to go.

I'd like to think that Ulster can get a converted try in six minutes....

Now then...an Ulster penalty...do they go hell for leather and the corner...?

YES THEY CAN!!!

Leinster will be having flashbacks from last year

Good!

COME ON TOMMY!!!

oh fuuuuck!

Jennings is MOTM (contain yourself Gibbo!)

Unlucky Ulster, not had the best of luck with a number of calls.

Well played, Leinster Deserved it.

Gutted

The stake is driven in by BOD.

Well done Leinster. You've ended your P-12 hoodoo....but the O's will be back next season. Diack will be kicking himself.

FT 18-24.

Jenno Locky and Heaslip absoulutely immense.

well done Leinster. Great, great team.

Gutted.

Great season by Ulster but just fell short in a couple of the biggest games. Devastated but we'll bounce back stronger.

Diack will be kicking himself. The better side won- they are clinical when they need to be and we aren't. Jennings outstanding and boss not far behind. Good stuff Leinster, well deserved.

Indeed Rodders, considering the early tragedy, Ulster have had a brilliant season.

Congratulations to both teams for playing a great final too. Great match.
