Ultimate Rugby May 5

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the 2013 Amlin Cup Final in the RDS. Stade Francais have travelled to Dublin to accomplish the unenviable task of overcoming a powerful Leinster opposition. Traditionally considered a powerhouse of French Rugby, Stade are deserving of respect, despite an entirely underwhelming Top 14 season. After conceding the silverware to Harlequins back in 2011, Stade will be eager for a huge performance tonight. However, Leinster at home, in front of a sell-out crowd, are obvious favourites. Picking up one more European trophy would be a fitting send-off for Head Coach Joe Schmidt and fan favourites Isa Nacewa and Jonathon Sexton. Kick off in a matter of minutes!

Punt if the day is total score over 50pts @2-1. It's a beautiful day. And we have two decent back lines!

I think Leinster should be starting the full team I don't see why they wouldn't epically in a final

Jaysus, would you look at the Leinster bench! That'd scare the bejaysus out of anyone!

The spread is flattering alright but from a Stade point of view only.... Dry day will suit Leinster and me seen as my seats are in the open tonight!!!!!
