How come Leinster always seem to get a home draw?

It's seeded. Were away last year after finishing 3rd.

Fair enough

 

[The Seeker]

Leinster over Glasgow (although I hope the Warriors win).

Bulls over the Sharks.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Injured looking team.

Oh you'll start Barrett in this one

Two injured centres. Needs must.

 

[General Melchett]

Sione at 13 for this one with Jordan inside him at 12 and Hastings at 10.

We should win on paper but we are generally **** on grass with any jeopardy so let's see how it goes.

United Rugby Championship: Will Glasgow take advantage of Leinster's "performance anxiety"?

Leinster have gone off the boil as Glasgow Warriors have improved as the sides prepare to meet in Saturday's United Rugby Championship semi-final in Dublin.

Jesus it must be hard for you being a Leinster fan, I feel for you...

As a Welshman I keep forgetting there's rugby after the league stage of any competition, it's like the season just ends and some tells me who the champion is in the summer hahaha

Think I've seen more at the AIL final, jaysus.

Watch us somehow sell out Croker if we can manage to get through this.

Stadium looks empty.

 

[big ginger 8]

Good constant pressure, set up by Baird and TOB.

Glasgow can't be too far from a yellow already.

Convinced supporting a sports team is just a constant and varied scale of sadness.

Even Boks fans online (not here) just seem constantly angry!

Who's the ref, whistle happy

 

[big ginger 8]

TOB is 100% effort.

 

[AlRums]

That last pass easily forward
