Bus Eireann are narky like that alright

The gate money from the quarter-final is split between the two participating teams (as is the previous round) but the semi-final ticket revenue goes to EPCR. There used to be, under the ERC, a situation where, if you moved the game to a larger ground the gate would be split 60-40 provided the away ...

I'm sure many leinster fans will hatewank themselves dry over it

They don't (finishes 17-40) so they don't need to get the jack out yet

Ulster would appear to have finally caught a break. MHR have had a red card and currently have two more in the bin! Ulster lead 17-26 with 10 to go. If they lose this they may as well pack in the rugby and take up crown green bowling

In fairness, all four props are giving a masterclass in acting the maggot.

Like the majestic Giraffe, there is no sight more enthralling than a second row at full gallop

A Jalibert-less Bordeaux went through a Farrell-less Saracens for a shortcut,

If anyone knows how to stop Bielle-Biarry or Penaud, put your answers on the back of the postage stamp they can step you in

Snyman (illness) and Shane Daly (unspecified ouchie) out for Munster, O'Brien and Aherne in. Shane McCarthy and JOD to the bench
