I don't want to appear pedantic but that really throws a curve ball into the classic to all intents and purposes versus to all intensive purposes argument. :)
The odds are good but the goods are odd.

Can anyone suggest a pub to watch this in? Thinking city centre. Thanks

I had that thought. Surely he must be due a bit of luck on the injury front.

ulster centres were miles better than our own last time out both in attack and defense.

much better combination plus more rounded individual players at the moment.

Are you going to the game GG?
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

If we can match Trimble's intensity (he epitomises Ulster) and live on top of Pienaar, we should come through by 7-9 points.

J10 and Mick Kearney are the key players in Leinster for this game and I believe both will dominate in their areas.

Ian Davies must be strong at breakdown time as Ulster will once again try to slow ball in any way possible.

That is, without doubt, the most one-eyed review of the game in Ravenhill I have read.
Fair play to Ferris: he is an utterly useless pundit and a bit dim, but he is as passionate a fan as he was a player.

According to Dexy's our scrum struggled in Ravenhill http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/p ... -1.2654039
I wonder were his famed "cheap seats" actually in the bar or at the americano counter in Urbun?

What was one-eyed about it. We were one pass away from a bp victory over you not too many teams have ever done that. He says that he has been on the end of many of a hiding by Leinster ... again no bullsh!ting there. Just looked at the weather big band of rain to come in for kick-off, big big advantage to the home team see nothing other than a Leinster win now. :?

Yeah he has an interview in the Indo too which seemed kind of similar. Possibly he's entertaining for some people but he doesn't actually impart any knowledge or insight.

Ferris was equally disparaging of Ulster in the build-up to the game at Ravenhill last month. Let's hope he's just as wrong this time around.
Look out Itchy, he's Irish
