Will be on the Hill today cheering on the team in blue - nothing new there - just hope for a different result than I'm used to in semi finals!!!

Who has coverage of the game...Skysports?

[Gnevin]

Who, as a Longford man with a Cork mammy, should I cheer for? I have no inherent grá for Leinster yet I am 'from' there.

I like the Munster set up and, while there may be a few bandwagoners aboard, I find their supporters top class.

Feck it. I'll cheer on both teams cos the winnner of this will win the Heino, roysh!

I think people are mixing up their sports here.

Gaa is about where you're from.

Rugby is about who you identify with.

Soccer is about who was good when you were 7.

Rugby is about where your from . I don't see how it's any different to GAA some lads like to pretend it is as they are bandwagon Jumpers. Something you lot love spouting one about during the summer

Nacewa, Van Der Linde, Jowitt, Whittaker, Wright, Contepomi and Elsom might disagree.

Have to agree with that, what ever province you're from is the one you should support, hence I support Ulster.

Still don't know who I want to win todays game though. On the one hand I want Leinster to win cause they haven't won it yet and are underdogs but on the hand want Munster to win it back to back to prove there greatness. Whoever does win though I definitely be supporting them in the final. Would love to see either team stick it up to Leicester

The Dublin Hurling and Football teams have plenty example of non navies playing for them . The Core of the team is Leinster .

Well the time is now, i'm heading off to the game, enjoy the game everybody!

I am shitting it!!!!!

[Main Street]

In fairness, I think Leinster Rugby *now* is a different animal, and i would expect most newbies from Leinster, or at least the eastern part of Leinster, to be able to identify with the Leinster brand now, much moreso than 10 years ago say.

That type of description has become common parlance now, so common that no one bats an eye towards its use, that fills up my sick bucket.
But I'd have to admit that they have been very good at managing the Leinster thing, can't argue with the quality on offer and imo a welcome influx of some superb players.

I suppose I'll make the sacrifice today and block out all sports news until RTE show the game.

Leinster doing rightly but god Jackman is an awful lineout thrower. It could cost them! Good kick from the Doc as well.

Was that not a good shoulder
