I was happy with the Munster game and I’ve been happy with my form this season ... But there’s a lot of competition in the squad and it’s up to me to keep consistency in my performance and if I do at least I’m sticking my hand up and putting pressure on him. He [Joe Schmidt] has to make the decision and...

Obviously to lose a player of Luke's pedigree at such a crucial time of the season is a massive blow, not just for the team and our supporters, but also for the player himself
The process of recruitment can be quite drawn out, but we are delighted to announce these new extensions as well as welcoming Michael and Tom, who are two highly rated forwards who will add to the competitiveness in our pack over the coming season ...

Some you win, some you lose
Jonny Sexton spoke of course and called the play we did just after half-time
Hopefully we’ll share a drink at the end of the final ... I’m just delighted I’m going to the final as a coach and not as a pretty disappointed spectator.
For us to compete with them will be very tough on what is reported to be a pretty wet ground
For me it would be as tough a task as we’ve had to face. They have recruited incredibly well this year, Clermont, and the weight that they can bring into the game, the experience and the performances that they have put together; they’re in a very strong position.
Both teams will be very strong and I just think the biggest winner is going to be European rugby
It's fantastic to run up such a score and it does gives us a buffer at the top of the table. We scored some super tries and it's fantastic for the players that were out there ... The crowd were great too, and I think they really enjoyed it. That performance will mean some Panadols for the coaches becaus...

That performance will mean some Panadols for the coaches because some guys put in really big performances out there and it’s going to be tough to make some decisions for Ulster next week and obviously Clermont the week...
I thought Brian showed a bit of spark, I was really happy with how he put in his 58 minutes
His reputation precedes him as a fast healer
It was something that had been ongoing so once it worsened early in the game I think it made it pretty tough for him, particularly at scrummage time and any square-on collisions
Today is a real test for Leo ... There is no guarantee beyond today’s training he will be available for Friday but it is good to get him out there and test him.
It's great to have Brad to help us through until the end of the season
It’s still a wait and see how Leo runs on it ... We’ll have a better idea towards the end of next week. He would have to at least come off the bench or done something against Munster to prove he is fit to play the Cardiff Blues (in the Heineken Cup quarter-final on April 7th).

It is going really well . . . but the difficulty for us is to ascertain what Brian’s level of fitness is ... He’s been back on the training pitch but not fully involved so when we get back training next week there will probably be another week where he would get to do everything but the contact. If that...
Brad’s arrival will supplement the likes of Damian Browne, Devin Toner and Mark Flanagan, as we look ahead to a demanding few months
