Good luck, boys! Will be doing my best to follow on the internet. Keep the sword on the right side of the Skagerrak!
But Pierre - give credit where it's due - Stein Ove plays with Trondheim RK!
One real achievement - I note that every player except Buncle is domestically-based. (Oh, wait, some of those are historical links... hmmm... anyway, it's more true than normal!) I would like to believe that's some comment on the improvement in the Norwegian league this year. I hope so!
Brian O'Driscoll and Rob Kearney will both start for Leinster Rugby as they try to match the great Leicester Tigers side of 2001 and 2002 and win back-to-back Heineken Cup titles at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday.
Leinster Rugby skipper Leo Cullen is hoping to avoid the bitter disappointment he felt the last time he was chasing a title treble at Twickenham Stadium when he leads his side against Ulster Rugby in the Heineken Cup Final.
Joe Schmidt was a pretty depressed man at half-time in last year's Heineken Cup Final in Cardiff and he has warned his Leinster Rugby players not to put him in such a bad frame of mind again when they face Ulster Rugby at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday.
Outgoing Ulster Rugby coach Brian McLaughlin is all set to crown his three year reign at Ravenhill with "the greatest day in my rugby career" at Twickenham Stadium in the club's second Heineken Cup Final.
