So 3 away wins likely needed to make the final. Montpellier, clermont then the sharks. Anyone confident of this scenario coming to fruition?

Top 14 results may have an impact but my feeling is that we’ll win in Montpellier and lose in Clermont.

And Jeebus said "come forth" but Ulster came fifth and all we won is a slot in the EPCR Challenge Cup.

Bristol lock Josh Caulfield has had his red card against Connacht overturned.

Caulfield did not accept he had committed an act of foul play.

Disciplinary committee decided Caulfield had committed an act of foul play but "found that the offence did not warrant a red card."

"Interesting" call.....

If Leinster make the semi-final of the Champions Cup this season the game will be played at Croke Park as the Aviva is unavailable. Also likely to host any URC playoff matches due to unavailability of both the RDS & the Aviva.

Next season, with redevelopment of the Anglesea Stand due to commence after the Dublin Horse Show in mid-August 2024, Leinster are exploring playing one early regular season game at Nowlan Park in Kilkenny.

Right, time to get some use out of my TV subscriptions for a change.

MC v Paddy Jackson up first.

I could get used to watching on the sofa.

Going to try a few tins of that ‘Black Heart’ later.

Er, at the risk of sounding a bit Joey Barton, I’m going to struggle with this ‘commentary’…..
