Anyone know the venue for the final? Assume it's Aviva?

Aviva or RDS as we have more points.

Is that the way it works this season?

Yes, pool winner with the most points gets home advantage.

Lot of niggle here. With the mood the officials are in we need to stay calm for the next 40.

Does anyone know if Craig Casey is playing for munster tonight, the commentators and pundits haven't mentioned him at all.

One player I genuinely didn't know was on the pitch until about the 70th minute was Andrew Conway.

Is Hawkshaw injured?

Anyone know if there’s any chat about there being Ireland games this summer? There must be scope for some kind of tournament alongside the Lions. A development tournament could be amazing for us considering the number of young guys that could benefit. Kelleher, TOT, Baird, Penny, Casey, Harry Byrne...

If Kelleher was deemed fine to come back on after half-time on Sunday I'd be a bit surprised if he wasn't able to play this weekend in Belfast.

Congrats to Alex Soroka on making his debut tonight.

Alex was 4 years old when Devin Toner and Johnny Sexton both made their debuts at home to Borders in Jan 2006.

Lovely decision from the IRFU to also award a cap to the mascot

I missed why Larmour was subbed?

minor muscle injury according to Murray Kinsella

Abysmal first 40 minutes for Ulster at home to Ospreys. Playing like a team who expected the opposition to just roll over. Absolutely blessed to be level at HT. If they were playing anyone decent they'd be well behind.

HT 7-7

This is going to be a tough test given they've got some of their Scottish players back.

Bundee Aki has been released back to Connacht so it's possible

Very sad news! https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/gary-halpin-rip/ As a "Johnny come lately" I don't remember his games for Leinster but I do remember him playing for Ireland. How many times did he play for Leinster? He played 18 times across the 99/00 and 00/01 seasons. Not sure if he played for Leinste...

I have the team sheets in excel for any season you might want from 95-96 on so pm your e-mail address and I can send them on. Only have the unused sub details from 03/04 onwards though and there's a couple of teamsheets from 95-96 that I don't have (games against Natal XV and Waratahs).

Xanthippe is the one to check with! His correct total is 261 - the May 2007 game away to Cardiff was incorrectly credited to Matt D’Arcy and has been acknowledged though not corrected and I’m trying to find the other three missing games at the moment. I believe they happened some time between Perpi...

Thanks for that MI. Remember something similar when Shane Horgan retired in 2012. They credited him with more appearances than were showing up on his player profile. They used to have the team sheets up for every game bar one or two on the old website as far back as the 95-96 season. Never really un...

Dev is four appearances from matching Darcys leinster appearance record.. might he have to get those appearances in next few weeks? Leinster website has both on 257* appearances.

Well, hope there weren't any more injury worries from the Dragons match. Hopefully Michael Bent and Tommy O'Brien will be available this week. The rest depends on how big a training squad Farrell selects for the Italy game and whether he's in the mood to experiment.

Brace cementing his reputation as a terrible ref this evening
