Unlike the expected defences tomorrow. Got the old crew together for this (okay my da and my niece, the three of us have experienced nearly all of the great and really low days with Leinster together, she's grown up now but it's just such a huge part of her childhood) and I haven't been this excited about a Leinster match in quite a while. We could be destroyed tomorrow. Players could become legends tomorrow.
It's a bit big.

Anyone else's nerves shot? Feels like the good old days.
Time for our young lads to step up.

Wet afternnoon in Dublin and certainly wet ball for kick-off. Heavyish shower around 3-3.30 p.m. J10 better equipped to optimise? Less kick / pass opportunities?
Making our first up tackles count is a must for us today. We cannot allow their forward carriers to break the gain line and give Cipriani and Gopparth front foot ball.
Do that and we might be allowed relax and enjoy the last 20.

You could here the buzz, could you?matt wrote:Big Wasps presence in Searsons tonight handing out a few hundred flags. Decent people most expect high scoring game to be in the balance in last 10 mins.
I think this is going to be a game that will ebb and flow where we will hopefully move from despondency to optimism and finally jubilation.
Forget the plastic pitch at Saracens, the all French clash or Thomond Park, The real action is at the Aviva tomorrow & could deliver a big win to either side in a game that potentially could deliver 10 trys & maybe 70+ points. Munster v Wasps in 2004 was a great game which ended 32-37 and where biggest factor was taking out O'Gara. If JS plays 80 mins we will win if he doesn't its in the balance. Not hard to know what Haskell etc want to do.
I remain confident but know there will be a few scares along the way.-

Ah he's incredible, pure natural talent. Doing almost the same thing as he did 12 months ago in the Aviva, but that was an AIL final!domhnallj wrote:He's been superb hasn't he!wixfjord wrote:I'm just off to delete a few posts about worrying about Carbery at FB at HT lads, don't mind me.

My only bugbear is we need to get the line-out functioning. Otherwise this is one hell of a game!

Commentators on BT said it was due to injury but they never mentioned what the injury was.Was Ferg tactical or injury?
