That’s a valid point. Even though this was a game that felt like it never should have been close in the first place.

DOB

Not untrue though. Ross Byrne is Leinster's biggest weakness. True or not, it’s a shit joke. Someone who writes for a living should either be able to do better, or know to not bother posting that. That was exactly my take on it. If you are going to be a c u nt you at least need to be funny. Looks l...

We were up high in the Hill, so could see everything, but very far most of the time. Watching Ross try to run after his intercept was hilarious. I need to watch again but he seemed to not back himself at all. Looked like he deliberately slowed because he knew he wouldn't make it and wanted support....

Tbh, I’m more worried about the incoming 9.

We’re in the final, is all that counts.

Bookmarked
Yep massive favourites
Toulouse massive favourites against a team which have trashed them the last 3 times they faced them? Yeah right

Before this season we were 0/3 against La Rochelle.

Lowe on Conan; “ooooh! Jacky Turnover got the turnover again!”

Aslan on the tannoy; they even let the Northsiders pick the tunes for the day.

Game un-over.

The second half doesn't seem to have started yet though 70 minutes after kick off

Was there a long delay at the start?

Yes.

DOB

I can’t be alone in thinking we don’t try to give Baird the ball in space nearly enough, can I?

I was actually thinking that 15points wasn’t a great return considering the domination

This. You’d like a bit more daylight yet.

Certainly not onto the ball.

Sounds like exactly what the bars are there for, tbf.

Great pass jgp.

So used to hearing “after 15+ minutes, we have our first scrum,” that it’s a real reverse surprise to see so many in the first 9 minutes.

150th anniversary, it’s the original colours.

Fair enough, I suppose. Commentator has mentioned the “Cherry and White” multiple times.

I appreciate that they really commit to the bit on it, but

“A heavyweight or just too late
Like pretty Kate has sex ornate”
is just trying a little too hard to get that line in there.

The only big positional switches I can think of that work are when small athletes move to hooker. Keven mealamu was an u20 open side and Tom youngs a center. The game has such specialist skills required for each position that it's very hard to make a switch in adult rugby Iirc, Rory Best had been a...

A career of ups and downs but will always fondly be remembered for 2016 and that electric back 3 of himself, Niyi and Matt Healy. Electric.

Speaking of electric, did Niyi ever get the wiring done on the extension?

War, by U2. The whole album is barely listenable, but when you hear the same songs live on Under a Blood Red Sky it’s night and day.

So I couldn’t watch live, because I was at my daughter’s softball game, and my son’s track meet. I finally watched it while folding laundry.

If teams don't take a competition seriously then the competition itself loses a lot of its prestige, innit? HTH It's a shame you think Munster winning last year has taken the lustre off of the competition. You think the competition would be better off if Leinster won it every year, as they did for ...

I seem to remember a Leinster team losing out in SA by more than 50 pts last season... If that's not disrespecting the the league by a team that amassed the most points I don't know what is. Amassing the most points is disrespectful now. Leinster should have thrown games earlier in the season and m...

DOB

The point still stands, Leinster send out teams that short change the local supporters. The team was fine. How they played on the other hand..... Of all the teams to accuse of not respecting the league, Leinster would be well down the list. What with only ever been out of the top 4 (3 actually, I t...

You’ll just have to make do with Barrett and Snyman. Tough times.

Alternatively we should shit prop swap and give you Marty back for Byrne

Be delighted to have Marty back, tbf.

The top 2 Frenchmen on the UCI rankings are Bardet and Pinot! It’s 2015 again!

There are definitely some talented French riders coming up, but they’re still not quite getting those big results. Alaphilippe used to be one of the big 6, but he clearly isn’t any more.

Planning on being back in June for the Dauphiné or Suisse, and the Tour and ‘Lympics.

Presumably the Olympics is his big aim there.

Seems like the favourites now know that if they get a 15sec gap they've got it sewn up. They know that the rest won't work together (there's no way any solo rider should be able to hold off a determined pursuit by 10+ riders over 35-50k)..... It's like they've found a way to hack one day races. Thi...

Pog wins Liege like a Sunday training ride, and doesn’t look like he’ll have any competition for the Giro.

This new Leinster CEO certainly seems to know how to get a deal over the line. Lets wait until work permits and visa is sorted before claiming victory “What? We were supposed to register Jordie for Europe before he arrived in the country? Ooops. Well at least he can play in the URC, right?”
