Put your money on a Clermont - Ulster HEC final and you'll be a rich bunny come next May (unless they are drawn against one another earlier in the comp.)

Thanks OD!
Presume you meant to add that past performance is no guarantee of future return, Old Dog is a tied agent of *****, if in doubt consult your financial advisor etc

Absolutely! Furthermore, as the owner of a small number of Paddy Power shares (I bought them some years ago for €13 each) my secret agenda is to boost Paddy's share price! In the light of this disclosure, I urge you to put your life savings on my HEC treble for the coming weekend: - Leicester to win in Toulouse, Castres to beat Ulster in Todger Park and the Scarlets to win in Clermont. It's a complete no-brainer! (literally)
Thanks OD!

It looks like Thorn will not be coming back for another loan period anyway,looking to finish his career at the Highlanders

Taz-Where did you get that information as I have seen nowhere that he(Penney) was ruled out?
Editor - The writer stands by the Penney information.
Otaga Daily Times 3/5/2012
Editor-- This article originally said Rob Penney had missed out on the Munster coaching job. That information was incorrect.
BOD should be fine. Conway too. McLaughlin will probably be out. Hyperextended elbow could see him out for a few weeks. Nacewa will be a wait and see job but I wouldn't be optimistic. If he has a bad dead leg, he won't be able to even walk properly for several days.
I think that is possibly one of the worst dead legs i have ever seen. It'll be 10 days by the time he shakes that off i would say. He hasn't been his best for you guys this season so far compared to the last 2, but understandably he probably needs the full time around him for that.
v Exeter Chiefs TEAM NEWSThe Leinster team to face the Exeter Chiefs in the opening round of the Heineken Cup in the RDS on Saturday afternoon (KO: 3.40pm) has been named...

Cian Healy will make his 100th Leinster appearance on Saturday and the 25-year-old loose-head prop will start in the front row alongside Richardt Strauss and Mike Ross.Skipper Leo Cullen partners Damian Browne - who will make his 25th Leinster appearance - at second row with Kevin McLaughlin continuing in the back-row alongside Shane Jennings and number eight Jamie Heaslip.
The backline is unchanged from the one which started last weekend's victory over Munster with Fergus McFadden partnering Brian O'Driscoll at centre and Isa Nacewa on the left wing making his 33rd Heineken Cup appearance.
Rob Kearney trained well on Thursday but pulled up sore afterwards, as a result Ian Madigan continues at fullback for his second Heineken Cup start. Both Kearney and Gordon D'Arcy are expected to be available for selection for the Round 2 trip to Llanelli next weekend.
Meanwhile, scrum-half Isaac Boss has recovered from the injury he sustained on the opening weekend of the league campaign and takes his place amongst the replacements alongside fellow Ireland internationals Sean Cronin and Devin Toner.

yup hard to believe that was missed.
Heaslip giving a demonstration on how to win turnovers at the breakdown...
How's that? By standing on the wing and letting someone else do it??

Exeter are refreshing to watch. Haven't kicked the ball, unless they are in their own 22.
Score?
3-0 Leinster
3-3 38min gone, Exeter have missed a few kickable penalties, good game so far

3-3 HT. Fully deserved Exeter have had 65% possession should possibly be ahead
3 all, HT, Exeter should have been up but Steenson not quite on the radar.
Ref a homer, Exeter playing the better rugby.
Like the way Sexton never makes a mistake, always someone elses fault
David Wallace, James Coughlan - Heroes, Jonathan Davies
Nacewa went down like Suarez there!

3 high tackles. YC?
Shocking performance so far...

These early season games are not suited to the Irish teams late preseasons. Leinster lucky to have a handy home game for starters
