Leinster will be without Luke Fitzgerald for the final after the winger suffered an injury to his neck, whereas Ulster have been boosted recently by the presence of Ruan Pienaar, who has 54 points on the board in the tournament this season. Speaking on Fitzgerald’s neck problem, Leinster Coach Joe Schmidt said; “To lose a player like Luke at a critical moment of the season is a big blow “.

Though favourites going into the tie, Leinster scrum-half, Issac Boss sees a tough match ahead. Being a former Ulster player himself for five years, he knows all about the passion and determination that Ulster pocess. Speaking ahead of the final, Boss said; “I saw the emotion on the faces of the Ulster boys after the (semi-final) match against Edinburgh, so we know they are definitely going to bring it to us.”

The final takes place on Sunday 19th May at Twickenham Stadium (5pm GMT). It will be the fourth final to be held at the English Stadium, and will be the first time it will host a non-English winner. Everybody knows the atmosphere and celebration that the Irish bring to any event, and the biggest game in Club Rugby is assured to be no different.

Ireland’s talismanic captain has been named as the Rugby Union player of the decade by Rugby World magazine.

The UK-based publication named a 22 man squad – a first XV plus seven replacements – that they fell reflects the greatest exponents of the oval ball game throughout the noughties with O’Driscoll named as the sport’s premier player.

The dynamic centre has had a remarkable ten years in which he embarked on three British and Irish Lions tours – one as captain – led Ireland to their first Grand Slam since 1948 as well as lifting the Heineken Cup with Leinster in 2009.

There are several expected members in the selection such as England’s World Cup-winning captain Martin Johnson, New Zealand’s mesmerising fly-half Dan Carter and South Africa’s long-serving leader John Smit.

Some of the more surprising choices include Argentina’s Agustin Pichot at scrum-half ahead of Fourie Du Preez – South Africa’s number nine only making the bench – while Schalk Burger and Doug Howlett have been overlooked completely.

Five members of the list – O’Driscoll, Shane Williams, Jonny Wilkinson, Gethin Jenkins and Yannick Jauzion – can be seen in 2010 Six Nations Championship that kicks off on February 6th. Tickets are available to compare and buy at tixdaq.com.

M Muliana (New Zealand); J Robinson (England), B O’Driscoll (Ireland), M Giteau (Australia); S Williams (Wales); D Carter (New Zealand), A Pichot (Argentina); G Jenkins (Wales), J Smit (South Africa), C Hayman (New Zealand), M Johnson (England, capt), V Matfield (South Africa), R Hill (England), R McCaw (New Zealand), S Parisse (Italy).

Replacements: R Roncero (Argentina), M Ledesma (Argentina), S Marconnet (France), JM Fernandez Lobbe (Argentina), F Du Preez (South Africa), J Wilkinson (England), Y Jauzion (France), JM Hernandez (Argentina)

The air might be cold and the ground may be frozen solid but in a month’s time the 2010 Six Nations Championship will begin in earnest.

The first major international rugby tournament of the new decade will come to life on February 6th when defending champions Ireland take on traditional competition minnows Italy at Croke Park. With 2009 having been bedecked in green with both the international honours and domestic glory – in the shape of the Magners League and Heineken Cup – being bestowed on the Emerald Isle it remains to be seen if Declan Kidney’s men can remain on top of the tree.

Later that day sees the first real major clash of the tournament as England welcome Wales to Twickenham. The Welsh star has faded slightly in the last twelve months but they still retain a dynamic core of quality players throughout their first XV with the likes of Jamie Roberts, Mike Phillips and Shane Williams always a  major threat with ball in hand. England will be hoping to improve on an unsatisfactory Autumn but the return to the squad of Delon Armitage and Rikki Flutey as well as their first choice front row will no doubt bolster their challenge.

Scotland take on France in their opening match with Andy Robinson’s men boosted by a successful Autumn International series that included a famous win over Australia. The French, however, comprehensively beat world champions South Africa during the same period and are widely regarded as Ireland’s main challengers for the Six Nations crown.

After the excitement of the Autumn Internationals , the attention of the rugby world turns back to the clubs as the Heineken Cup gets underway again this weekend.

With two rounds of the pool stages played there is still ample time for teams to pick up key points on the road to the quarter-finals. While some teams have got off to poor starts nobody as yet can be ruled out. Harlequins are clearly in a perilous position with just a losing bonus point to their name but a win against Sale Sharks could help ignite their campaign.

Likewise with Bath Rugby. They find themselves in exactly the same position as their London counterparts and they will look on Sunday’s match with Edinburgh as an opportunity to set things right. A win at The Rec will boost confidence ahead of the return trip to Scotland a week later and back to back victories would suddenly change the complexion of Pool 4. In the meantime, the other two members of the pool – Stade Francais and Ulster – will be playing each other twice with the English side hoping they take points off each other.

This would leave  Bath’s home match against Ulster in January as a must-win game and set up a pool finale with Toulouse. It’s a long shot but Bath could yet sneak into the last eight.
