Team Selection notes:
Ulster:
Great team. Thought Gilroy and Jackson were sick though, be interesting to see how they go. Always good to see Luke Marshall, and Iain Henderson in the second row will be good. The Ulster back up forwards don't look brilliant.
Leinster
Excited to see Noel Reid at 15, and Michael Bent too.
D'Arcy vs Marshall is a great matchup, and will Henderson vs Cullen, Best vs Cronin and Trimble vs McFadden. Henry vs the Leinster back row at the breakdown will be interesting again.
I know Ulster are in good form, and Leinster are not. I just can't see anything other than a comfortable Leinster win. Leinster just seem to be the bogey team for Ulster.
