Ulster v Leinster</div>

Leinster certainly have a point to prove after their dismal performance away to Castres 2 weeks ago. Gordon D'Arcy makes his first start for 10 months after his initial broken arm against Italy in the Six Nations and the subsequent setbacks. Will be interesting to see how he does playing on the wing as it's certainly been a while since he last played there. Nacewa also makes his first start since returning from injury having been a sub in Castres.

Ulster will certainly feel there's a good oportunity to get the win here with Leinster bound to be feeling sorry for themselves and along with their improved recent form they'll pose Leinster more problems than they would have done a couple of months ago. They have Timoci Nagusa and Matt McCullough coming into the side but Cillian Willis, Carlo del Fava, Simon Danielli and Ryan Caldwell are still out with injury.

Hard to call really but you'd just about have Ulster as slight favourites

looking forward to this game this evening... Leinster are under a lot of pressure to smash ulster here

Cant wait they are putting the game on live here on sultanta ROAR ON LEINSTER!! :bana:

 

[JohnBE]

yeah when is it starting 5?/ stupid interview on now.. and that baldy headed **** annoys me so much.. he's such a dry dull uninteresting ********.. awful choice as a presenter

 

[An Tarbh]

that's more like it Rocky, but where was that agression 2 weeks ago?

 

[An Tarbh]

decent start from Contepomi, he's been too hit and miss this season with his kicking so good to see him getting the first one.

3-0 Leinster

 

[An Tarbh]

Impressive start again from O'Brien, looking like a proper prospect, just hope he continues like this.

Hit and miss again from Contepomi, not a difficult kick.

 

[An Tarbh]

Good run from Cave, understandable really from Dempsey keeping one eye on Trimble, would have been a try either way.

7-3 Ulster

 

[An Tarbh]

I swear to God it's a shocking indictment of Leinster when your scrum half makes Harry Ellis look good, I'll just pratt about like a retard and maybe we'll get a scrum from which we'll probably give away a penalty

 

[An Tarbh]

Leinster could have done with that, he should have known he didn't have the legs for that and gone for the corner.

7-3 to Ulster at half time.

 

[An Tarbh]

I think Dempsey did right to hold on there, not sure if there was enough of a gap for Kearney, but nicely finished off eventually from Rocky.

What odds he misses the kick?

 

[An Tarbh]

wonders will never cease, he got one albeit with the aid of the upright and now Dempsey's gone.

 

[An Tarbh]

thought Humphreys would have got that one, not the most difficult of kicks, surprising really the amount of kicks being missed, there's no wind at all.

 

[An Tarbh]

Humphreys levels things up at 10-10

 

[An Tarbh]

Looking a bit sharper now from Leinster, Elsom at the heart of everything again, but support play needs to be better.

 

[An Tarbh]

Heaslip's form has really gone to pot, Deccie really can't start him against the French at this stage.

 

[An Tarbh]

Ulster not rolling away and even Contepomi can't miss in front of the posts.

 

[An Tarbh]

Great break from Ferris and Ulster now with the chance to level the scores. Won't miss in front of the posts.

 

[An Tarbh]

Right now can Leinster capitalise with Ferris going off, that's a big loss for Ulster for the remainder of the match.

 

[An Tarbh]

Nice break from D'Arcy, that'll do his confidence some good after his defensive lapse for Ulster's try and a quality pass from Contepomi to put Keogh over in the corner.

No extras from Contepomi.
