Pro 12

Power cut at the rds with just 90 seconds left and leinster leading by one point. Will they have to abandon it or will they find a sparks to fix it.

That was an unexpected surprise The home semi final is good for Leinster. Will be difficult to beat them at home.

A must win game for ulster today if they are to have any chance of finishing in the top 4. I think the ospreys will beat them.

Ulster's seasons has exploded in the wrong way. Ospreys hard to beat at the Liberty.

Mistakes and ball handling undo Connacht.

Munster have the expected win against Treviso with bonus point. Home semi final guaranteed.

Final round of games this weekend and its all derbies. Scarlets v ospreys to see who plays munster or leinster. I think munster to beat connacht and maybe ulster to give ruan pienaar a good send off and beat leinster. Eleven players from irish provinces on the pro 12 team of the season.

Ulster still have a remote chance of sneaking into the play offs if they were to thrash Leinster and the Ospreys were to fall to a heavy defeat against the Scarlets. Realistically it wont happen.

Munster win and leinster loose, semi finals munster v ospreys, leinster v scarlets. Connacht and cardiff go into playoffs for place in next seasons champions cup. Connacht will need to improve alot to advance further.

Yep that need to a lot.
Sometimes when a coach is moving on then it might be better to let them go straight away and get in a temporary coach for the remainder of the season, they players have totally dropped off

Given the history of home advantage in Pro 12 semi finals, it should be an all Irish final at the end of the month. Unfortunately I don't give Connacht much chance of qualifying for the Champions Cup given the way they have played all season.

Fuck that was a shock, is that the first time the home team lost a semi ? Thank ketchup
Didn't look at the game as I thought it was a dead cert home win

[robbie9]

very poor by Leinster to lose that despite trailing by 11 pts at half time.

[westcorklad]

Comfortable win for munster in the end. Great counter attack that ended with a try that turned the game for them. Lets hope they go on and win the final now.

I would have made them firm favourites to lift the trophy before the semi finals but after the way Leinster were overturned last weekend, I am now not sure. The final could go either way.

[The D Man]

So who will win the final, scarletts are in great form but surely they wont get through munster as easily as they did leinster. I think it will be a close game with no more than 7 or 8pts in it. Ile go for munster to win it. How did the scarlets player get his red card rescinded from the semi final? The ref and tmo looked at it and both agreed it was red card offence. Isn't that making a mockery of the ref?

Kinda worried about this one. Scarlets have had a great 2nd half to the season playing some excellently in the process. They will not be fazed by playing against Munster and the home fans. Remember earlier in the season at Thomond Munster were well ahead at half time however Scarlets came out in the second half and blew them away. A win for Munster would be a fitting way to end a remarkable and sad season.
So Munster to win narrowly.

Good man Willie. It would be a great tribute to the legend.

Anthony Foley R.I.P. Players come and go however legends always live on.

Shame about Connacht the season really fell flat. Hopefully the new management can get back on track.
