Who's going to win, eh?

As a Corkman who else could I back but Munster?

It will be very interesting to see the contest at flyhalf between O Gara and Sexton.I think Rog will want to prove a point to Declan Kidney and the rest of the Irish coaching set up.

Is this the first year that a rugby match has been played on Good Friday. If so why don't they just wait untill Saturday?

Well being from Ulster I know it doesnt matter to you but Munster and Leinster both have important Heineken Cup matches the weekend after Easter and no other acceptable date could be arranged between the provinces for this match.

I suppose this will open the floodgates in future years for other sports to take place on Good Friday. Along with that pubs to open.

I read that the Attorney General was going to be consulted to try to get the decision to open the pubs tomorrow evening overturned. Obviously nothing came of it but yeah you are right we can expect to see other applications coming before the courts.

I see Czarcasm is banned - Was it for the above post ? Is someone taking the match tonight a tad too seriously ?
