Doubt we'll see many 'first choice' players for either of these games, but would you still bet against us!

Isn't that the question. We have such depth that we may win both. I thought Connachta would win but they were well beaten by a scratch squad.

I can see them winning the Glasgow game. Glasgow don't have much to play for anymore and Leinster will be very keen on maintaining the unbeaten run in the RDS. If we win on Sunday, finger crossed, then Ulster will be a write-off because the final would be the week after!

I always love this thread.
Crazy to think we can kind of close up shop on it already.
I don't think it really matters who we face in a home semi. Scarlets probably the team on most form but I always having nagging concerns about Ospreys...but we should beat either (or Ulster) at home.
The last league games will really be all about preparing the squad for the remaining knock-out game(s).

Top 6 Fix

Round 22 Round 22 Saturday 6 May 17:15 Scarlets v Ospreys Parc y Scarlets
Round 22 Saturday 6 May 17:15 Ulster Rugby v Leinster Rugby Kingspan Stadium

Home and away for each team

Home
Glasgow: Edi.
Munster: Con.
Scarlets: Osp,
Ulster: Lei.

Away
Leinster: Uls
Ospreys: Sca


Munster now join Leinster in a home sem

Ulster fecked.

Scarlets play Ospreys for 3rd place.

Winner of the Italian derby likely to go ahead of the dragons.

I'll start thinking about our potential/opponents in the Pro 12 final if and when we have disposed of the Scarlets. Till then Munster and the Ospreys can do what they like; I couldn't give a monkey's!!!!

in fairness; this is 'the Quickening' not a Leinster/Scarlets Semi specific thread.
