Typical. You wait all this time for a crack at a knockout tie in the European Cup and who lands into town for the game only that lot from down the road.

Leinster could hardly be a more familiar foe for Connacht at the Sportsground tomorrow evening. Not just because of the geographical proximity and the twice-yearly meetings in what is now the URC, but because of the consistent and heavy layer of traffic that has made its way from east to west over the years.
