Ulster v Sharks Friday May 20th 7:35pm BBC2NI / TG4 / Premier Sports 1 / URC TV / Super Sport

I got 2-1 for a Leinster win.

That’s quite a disparity for what amounts to an intercept try.

[justinr73]

Anyway, it could do with brightening up a bit.

It’s that wetting rain an’ all.

I’m convinced the Dragons are going to beat the Lions at odds of 8-5.

Same price for Scarlets to beat Stormers.

As mentioned above, there’s no real evidence that the Saffers travel well, although I agree that the price on a Sharks win does not properly factor in the possibility that they could murder us up front.

Heavily changed Leinster 23, not a surprise. Munster are 2/5 favourites (6 points on the handicap) to win at Lansdowne Road.

Have a sneaky suspicion leinster could pull off a surprise. Decent pack and soild backs, munster without pom and a young pack so it will be fairly close.

Knock on weather and our scrum could get eviscerated.

You do worry about handling errors and the resultant scrums. Having said that, there might be cause for some optimism because the SA teams aren't used to playing in NH wet windy muddy conditions and don't typically adapt that well to it. It might therefore hurt them as much as it helps them.

You’re bursting my pessimistic bubble here.

They previously played in NZ in Super Rugby in their mid winter. I would say that they're used to a bit of bad weather.

Edinburgh beat them in very heavy rain in Durban.

[justinr73]

Thunderstorm at the minute.

[justinr73]

The sun’s out now.

I don’t know what to wear.

The rain has briefly stopped in Ballymena.

Ulster need to keep tight at Line-out time. Don't want to see any gaps that you could drive a coach through

You're never overdressed in speedos

Maybe they'll have a few late pox call-offs.

It can be an uncomfortable condition. Many sufferers spend extended periods going "ooh ooh ooh, ah, ah, ah"
