I gave you dates, offered you times and you answered with great commitment, we even had some controversy but that was all me! So as I am a kind Lord of all things Pro 12 I bear venues onto thee!
This week we have another cracking round of Pro 12 fixtures. The champions elect will face Edinburgh in D4tress and fully expect to tighten their their grip on top spot to that of a 12 year old boy masturbating for the third time in a day, Edinburgh will not be as submissive as the woman on the screen of his smartphone however, they have a place in Europe to battle foe and losing this game means that their destiny is no longer in their own hands.
Ospreys v Treviso is a used johnny of a match, Treviso won't do jack and the season for the Ospreys is long over!
Saturday starts with an eye watering top 4 tie between Scarlets and Glasgow, one would be safe to assume that this match is for a much coveted home semi final, will it be the late bloomers or this season's most easterly surprise package to claim those important match points... That one was disappointingly civil.
Zebre v Ulster... Ulster may have issues with erectile dysfunction but you don't have to keep it up for much longer than 10 minutes to conquer the inexperienced Zebre!
Connacht v Munster, this one's so tight it could end in a draw (can't believe I have nothing for that), it's a commonly used phrase in rugby that a draw is like shifting your sister but I can guarantee that this game will be far more inbred than that. Connacht and Munster are like brothers, that are also uncle and nephew because that's the way in these provinces but all family matters will be thrown aside with Connacht trying to keep in touch with the well dresses, better spoken men across the Shannon who exiled them in a way that would make Cromwell proud while Munster need to win to go out of their league and give themselves a chance to book a hot date with Mme d'Europe next October. Will Munster's blunt toy knife attack be able to cut through Connacht's hot butter like defence, all will be revealed in the best shed in the world!
Cardiff kind of have something to play for, I've run out of steam, one of you write this one up!

That's done incredibly well for a copy paste job! You're welcome.
 
Edinburgh players can't even afford links, ****ing chancers.

Things have changed around here. We run the show now. We bullied BG8 off the forum through a series of power plays. Learn your new place.
Also alpha bro Munster and Connacht are like brothers because all of their fans used to be our fans, and now they're irritatingly outspoken and love the smell of Matt Healy's farts and believe Henshaw was forced to Leinster at gunpoint.

You are weird, weird people.

Apparently there's a stomach bug causing havoc at the Scarlets - up to 20 players affected. Advantage Glasgow methinks.
 
MunXV #ConVMun Zebo; Sweetnam, Saili, RScannell, Earls; JHolland, Murray; Cronin, Sherry, Archer; DRyan, BHolland; Stander(c), TO'D, JO'D
Replacements #ConVMun NScannell, Kilcoyne, JRyan, Copeland, Coghlan, O'Leary, Keatley, Conway.
ConXV; Who cares, bunch of rejects. History won't remember them.
That's my dream starting team. Backrow makes me wet with anticipation. Backs are absolutely sweet too. We need only pin Connacht back into their 22, and let Shane O'leary show why he had to go to Canada for Under 20 caps, and Connacht for professional rugby, and we should win this. Scrums could be a worry, but I'm not worried about their pace given the wingers we're playing. Sweetnam and Holland (praise based Jesus) and O'Donoghue are really positive selections

Despite the result still happy with the way Edinburgh played in the second-half. Especially from Hoyland and Bradbury hopefully we see more of them next season.
 
Fairly poor defence from Leinster which is pretty unusual from them this season. Fitzgerald should have got MOTM as he was ridiculously good as usual but VdF, Ruddock and Mick Kearney both had very good games. Rob Kearney and Cian Healy both played very well also. Molony is also coming along nicely. Toner, Kearney, Molony and (hopefully) Ryan will be playing for Leinster next year which is insane depth in the second row, which has been a weak point for us over the last few years.
Reid is still defensively poor and threw some nice passes with some awful ones. Madigan was average. There was some poor decision making after their yellow card where we should have gone for the posts on 2/3 occasions (from the 33rd minute to the 40th minute) but went to the corner and got nothing. Murphy has been anonymous in every game he has played post RWC.
We're coming in nicely to the business end of the season. It seems like it's Leinster's trophy to lose.
 
Agree with most but Murphy. That guy hits more than his fair share of rucks. His off the ball work is great, he must be working closely with Heaslip because they track the game very similarly.
 
Confirmation bias is in play when people talk about Jordi Murphy's form. He wasn't at his best early this season or for much of last season but of late he's improved an awful lot and is getting back to the form he showed in his breakthrough year.

Hard to complain when 5 points are secured but I will anyway. Some of the backplay was too lateral. Players aren't attacking the ball at pace or running hard lines to stall defences. Against better teams than Edinburgh, Leinster will come unstuck.

Still, Leinster are in a much better place than last season. The blooding of so many young players will stand them in great stead.
 
Warriors heading to retain their ***le with an impressive rout of Scarlets . Russell was s uperb and showed real class in today's game . Watch the |Connacht game tonight with interest ! Seem to be some feeling in the Provinces ! LOL
