C'mon Connacht !!

It'll be a cracker but Leinster by 10

This is gonna be a slugfest. Punch after punch. No quarter asked or given. Stay on ur feet and you'll win on points. The ref is crucial here. That being the case I see Connacht being blown off the Leinster home paddock. Not for the first time.

Connacht to win by 6-10 id pick 11 of the 15 connacht players over leinsters, including buckley and marmion

Leinster by 9pts

Connacht by 10

Strongest Connacht team I've ever seen (Leinster supporter)

Come on Connacht!

It's not often that one can say the Connacht backline looks better than the Leinster one!
