Leinster will put their 100 per cent record in the PRO12 semi-finals on the line when they face neighbours Ulster at a sold-out RDS, live on Sky Sports 3 HD. Elgton Jenkins Super Bowl Jersey . Fridays provincial derby will be Leinsters seventh semi-final appearance. They have won the previous six, while Ulster have won only once at the RDS in 12 attempts.However, Les Kisss side head to the Irish capital on the back of four successive victories, including a 30-6 drubbing of Leinster in Belfast on April 30. Four points separated the teams in the final PRO12 table and a close contest is predicted on Friday. Who will prevail? Lets look at some of the key battles which could decide this derby.Johnny Sexton v Paddy Jackson Paddy Jackson won his duel with Johnny Sexton in Belfast last month Jackson has lived in Sextons shadow at international level but got the better of his fellow fly-half during their recent encounter in Belfast, and broke away for a late interception try.The Ulsterman has raised his game another notch this season, bringing the best out of a talented backline and shouldering some of the responsibility normally placed on Ruan Pienaars shoulders. Another impressive showing in Dublin should see Jackson leapfrog Ian Madigan in the fly-half pecking order for Irelands tour of South Africa, but Sexton will be out to prove a point.The 30-year-old has forged a good understanding with Ben Teo and continues to use the wrap-around to good effect. Leinster rely heavily on Sexton to unlock opposition defences and Ulster will be in his face all night, although that is familiar territory for the seasoned international.Sexton was highly critical of Leinsters performance in Belfast last month and will be desperate to exact revenge on Friday.Ben Teo v Stuart McCloskey Ben Teo is off to Worcester this summer and international rugby with England Teo plays his final game on Irish soil for Leinster ahead of his big-money move to Worcester and he could not have asked for a tougher assignment.McCloskeys form this season earned him an Ireland debut at Twickenham during the Six Nations and he looks to have nailed down the No 12 jersey in a highly competitive Ulster backline. Stuart McCloskey made his Ireland debut during the Six Nations Both players are excellent gain-line options, McCloskey averaging 4.18 metres per carry in the PRO12, while Teo has the ability to terrorise opposition defences with his running lines and offloading ability.While Sam Burgess flopped in rugby union, fellow league convert Teo has thrived in the 15-man code. With England reportedly set to fast-track him into their squad, he and McCloskey could be facing off at international level in the near future.Isa Nacewa v Jared Payne Jared Payne was among the tryscorers when Ulster defeated Leinster in Belfast last month Nacewa moves to full-back in place of the injured Rob Kearney and offers a different attacking threat to the Irishman at 15.The Leinster skipper has enjoyed a highly impressive comeback season and Ulster know any loose kicks will be punished by the 33-year-old. Jared Payne has been making up for lost time since his return from injury Paynes defensive attributes sees him start at outside centre for Ireland but he has been in scintillating form at full-back for Ulster since his return from the foot injury that ended his World Cup. He has scored four tries in as many PRO12 games, including one against Leinster last month.Both players are fantastic counter-attackers who rarely waste possession. Payne is excellent in the air while Nacewa has a quality kicking game; they will bring out the best in the players around them.Richardt Strauss v Rory BestRory Best took over the Ireland captaincy from Paul OConnell in this years Six Nations, but rather than being buoyed by the honour, the responsibility appeared to weigh the 33-year-old down.This weekend he has a chance for redemption as he goes head to head against the man who wants his Ireland jersey, Richardt Strauss. Rory Best of Ulster Strauss has played slightly more PRO12 than Best this season - less than an hour of playing time separates them - and their lineout statistics are identical, with both boasting an 87% success rate.The statistics that separate them is at the breakdown, where Strauss 11 turnovers outweighs Best with five, and tackles, with Strauss putting in 64 hits to Bests 43. Richardt Strauss Aside from those numbers, the hookers have been making a practically even contribution on the field, but which one will make the greater impact on the day?The Ireland skipper is in no immediate threat of losing his spot in the team, but Strauss will view Fridays game as an opportunity to prove his worth to Joe Schmidt and his coaching staff who will no doubt be watching on.

But this year weve had not the results we want, so we have to get back to finding our game and be a little more consistent with it.A key to the Wilds early-season success has been offensive contributions from all players. Eighteen players have accounted for Minnesotas 32 goals and a league-best 18 now have points.Granlund added his name to that goal list to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead in the first with the Wilds first short-handed goal of the season.Off a turnover by Jason Spezza, Mikko Koivu deked John Klingberg with a toe drag in the Dallas zone before centering to Granlund, who tucked the puck behind Kari Lehtonen.
