And yeah, Leinster have made significant changes.

I think, in fairness, as well as the physical toll of a game in Bilbao, I was there myself.

It was absolutely roasting hot, like up towards 28, 29 degrees, high humidity temperatures.

You know, there's an emotional toll to that as well in that, like, these Leinster players have got it, you know, and the EuroCity is an important competition.

The status of it is improving year on year.

They obviously want to retain their title, but like to call a spade a spade, it is just a consolation prize to Leinster.

So you can imagine that a few guys probably needed to sit back and let some of the guys off the leash that didn't get to feature last weekend.

Yeah, it's a curious one.

But then at the same time, if Glasgow beat Connacht tonight and if Glasgow go the whole way to the final, then Glasgow are going to be hosting the final in any case.

Now, they have their own issues in terms of finding a venue.

There's been some talk that Glasgow would have to host the final in Belfast due to similar issues, I believe, with Hampden Park.

Or perhaps Murrayfield as well.

I'm not sure of the exact concert lineup in Scotland at the moment.

They're in the area, yeah, yeah.

But I mean, wouldn't it be fascinating if it was the case that a URC final had to take place in Belfast between Leinster and Glasgow, in which case neither team would be at home and it's almost a halfway house between the Eastern province and that Scottish city.

So yeah, it's a live possibility.

But yeah.

Glasgow face a tough task in their own right.

They top the table in the regular season but they face the Connacht team tonight who are the form team in the competition.

They've won eight of their last nine games.
