Heineken Champions Cup - Quarter-Finals

We are entering both a really good run of form and a really bad patch of injuries. Missing 5 pretty much nailed on starters in Kilcoyne, Beirne, Snyman, Coombes and Hodnett. We'd have a selection headache with all of those back 5 players fit, but any one would start right now easily. Then we're also down Cloete and O'Sullivan who would at least be potential bench options. Conway is also touch and go this week.

I'd imagine our team will look like:
Loughman, Scannell, Ryan, Kleyn, Ahern, O'Mahony, Kendellen, O'Donoghue, Murray, Carbery, Earls, De Allende, Farrell, Zebo/Conway, Haley.
Bench: Barron, Wycherley, Archer, Wycherley, Jenkins, Casey, Healy, Daly/Zebo.

OLSC require volunteers ahead of Leicester v Leinster

Leinster Rugby are at Mattioli Woods Welford Road this Saturday (May 7) for our Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final against Leicester Tigers.

Maybe is Leinster spent less on flags Connacht could spend more on players.

All the wannabe milfs love a good flag and the OLSC loves them....

Leicester will have never witnessed such polite and boring traveling fans.

Caps

Toulouse by 5
Leinster by 5
La Rochelle by 13
Racing by 13

I hate betting on Tigers games but reckon Leicester +5 is a good shout. If Leinster get the first win at WR all season it'll be by less than a score imo.

Very generous, I'll take it

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Still find it absolutely bonkers that two of the games clash.

31K sold to our game now. Not too hopeful of our chances, but should be a good atmosphere.

Then if we DO win, we transfer the ***le of 'best province' from Leinster back to Munster for three or four years minimum, as is tradition in European Semis between the two.

What about Munster's more recent semi final tradition of not showing up though?

No, it was by your dad's friend who went to prison.

My prediction for this game is we show up, play pretty well and still lose. Basically like last time we played them.

Leinster by 10+
Racing by.... A lot
La Rochelle by 5-10

Irish team. No clue what to do past the quarter final stage.

To be fair if Munster get to SF and Leinster fail to get to SF it will be the biggest failure of Cullens tenure. Really believe this is Sextons last shot at tournament

It will be so so sweet to see Munster choke against Leinster again in a semi final.

There is actually a quarter first
