Sounds like he may be crying off...not enough lube.

Rhys Webb is good. Very good.

Pretty disrespectful of Leinster to put out a largely second string pack. Hopefully they dont come to regret it.

Ospreys will own the scrum regardless of your selection. But if you choose to weaken it further then we'll take that.

Given you are so obviously confident I take it you will be taking The Sun God up on his Flounce bet?

The Leinster scrum is definitely weakened without Thorn.
The two O's locks provide lots of power behind two excellent scrummagers.

AwJ? Softcock.

If you say so.

If he's a softcock, then I don't know what adjective can be ascribed to the Munster set he battered two weeks ago.

Softcocks

What's the point getting rid of one of you. There are legions of you. There are more Irish WOMEN posters on here than there are men of some countries. I'd take a flounce bet if it meant that I get rid of 20 of you if Ospreys win.

That's a no? Pussy.

DOC - Shit
MOD - Retired

Still there was a time that these two were decent and Evans and AWJ gave them a rough night.

Hanno Birksin is welsh?

go on out of that

He will be one day. 2014?

So he's not Welsh then?

Bearman is Welsh through residency

Inbred.

I have put the teams up on the OP

14 Welsh qualifieds in the first XV and only one nWq overall for the Ospreys is an excellent achievement in itself.

Wonder if the Welsh press will pick up on this.








They won't.

Impressive. Fourteen Welsh in the team. Don't mind the press though, what about the support? Will there even be fourteen welsh fans in the stands?

Forget the shabby Heineken Cup performances, its the Welsh provincial rugby 'support' that's the most pathetic aspect of Welsh rugby. Will any of the welsh posters on here even be in attendance?

Amazing that you see so many there for the big internationals in Cardiff and then....nothing. Those leek/daffodil costumes are probably very expensive but hardly justify a no-show for all the provincial matches.

Its no wonder that they can't afford to hold onto their best players if noone bothers to turn up to watch them. As many on here suggest, the Ospreys have some super players and they deserve more respect from their own fans.

That's for all the Leinster brickies building over there for charidy,gord bless em.

Bearman's English? And Dirksen's a Saffer?

Thought Bearman was KCMW?

I'm just on the bus up from Cork for this! London last week, Dublin this week, I'm a European city jetsetter! I'm looking forward to this, haven't been to a Leinster game in the rds since Montpellier in January! Stupid living in Cork, wasting my season ticket!

No roll call for this, I assume everyone's attending?

I hope you wore the jersey with pride in work today.

I went to the effort of bringing in a few daffodil stalks and slapping a Welsh lad I know with them- he laughed

wtf?

Bearman's Welsh qualified but has never represented Wales, I think Celestialstorm doesn't realise that tbh as I don't think he can be called a Welsh player.

Fuck off cuntbreath.

Only a genuine mong would expect huge numbers to attend a short-notice match staged on a Sunday evening.

Short notice? It's been inevitable since the season began than Leinster would be playing the final at home. So the only real question is why do the Ospreys fans have so little confidence in their team?

Hmmm. Fenian arrogance is building up nicely then.

I didn't wear my jersey, but I do have the poster from the Times on Monday hanging proudly above my desk. tbh, they just seemed happy the trophy was "staying down south"!

We don't do regrets

Only crushing victory

It is, especially considering the team before and looking at the teams contesting the AP final.

Well done Celtic rugby.

What do you consider short notice?

It's not a transatlantic trip you have to organise.

Two weeks is pretty short notice. It is also exacerbated by the fact that Ireland's football team obviously takes precedence in Dublin, so the game is late on a Sunday.

And it is also a minor competition.

Sunday is a factor, crap day for fans. But for a minor competition its also the only thing a Welsh region can win, of worth. So its a shame ospreys fans can't travel.

When we couple it with the other yoke it will come out of the shadows and be all muscular and manly

Two weeks to be certain, longer if you wanted to take a punt.

I'm not saying everyone should drop what they're doing and attend but I wouldn't be blaming the notice/time too much.

I'll remember the last line there if the Ospreys win.
