Not so much timing as the different letters in the spelling of Munster and Leinster would change the weight of the balls imperceptably.
Quantum mechanics would take care of the rest.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere in RDS. We tried to sing as loud as you, but it was to much dificult.

Now, hope to come back next season.... :D
Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself as we had a great time in your beautiful city back in November.

Good luck in the TOP14 and I hope our teams meet again soon.

Who gave that MOTM to Kearney :? Seriously he had an average game at best. Heaslip, Cullen, Healy & Strauss were the stand outs for me with Madigan doing well

There was bemused gang of us in the Grandstand when the MOTM was announced. We thought Heaslip should have got the call.

I thought Kearney had a very good game (and it's well known at this stage I'm not his biggest fan).

But in a game like that, which turns into a total arm wrestle, you have to give it to a forward. I'd have given it to Healy or Heaslip. How Cullen stays on the pitch continues to be a mystery to me. Does he have an invisibility cloak that only works on refs?

Leo did some great work during the game dismantling the opposition's rolling mauls. There were a number of times where he seemed to glide through the maul and eventually got his hands on the ball carrier and dragged him to the ground.
Quite an impressive skill!

And it all becomes clear. I was certain it was going to be Heaslip, he'd a massive game.

Heard you loud and clear as well.

I liked the special edition "HCup Dublin" fleece jackets that some of you in the North Stand were wearing

:lol: :lol:
I think Browne thought he might have been protected when he entered that ruck for his YC.
Thought Browne, Healy, Heaslip & Strauss were the 4 to choose the MOTM from.

Um, the number 1 ball would have related to Leinster rather than Munster, not because of any competition rules, you clueless, reprehensible troll. :mullet 1:

On that point, if we had got the 4th try, both ourselves and Munster had ended up on 25 points. Who would have got first seeding for the quarters?

Some things are best ignored.

We would have, based on more tries scored.
