I would have assumed that's what he was doing at 5am this morning but obviously not

Northampton are clearly a dangerous prospect. Their attack is frightening and Courtney Lawes (bad luck for England) is in the form of his life. Also in a potential final with Toulouse, Leinster have adapted their game to deal specifically with the threat of La Rochelle. Would the new way of playing...

CM11 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 4:52 pm Odd they need over two weeks to get the stadium ready.

Annoying I think is the word you're looking for, not odd.
Maybe they have to nail everything down so the place doesn't get trashed although it's unlikely any English side will be in the final now.

Having been a ST holder since the old Donnybrook days, two things in particular drove Leinster. One was 2006 and the win away in Toulouse followed by the disgraceful scenes in and around LR for the SF. I think the team as well as the fans remembered that. The second was the move to the RDS in 2007....

What is with this need to be loved? Jhc great performance. Great win. fudge all won yet considering the Toulouse juggernaut on the other side Didn't Leinster walk through Toulouse last year? It's done. Luckily the comp is dying on its feet so no one will care. It was dying. It’s back with a bang th...

Oh fùck me, the media love in started in 2000, when Rog kicked that conversion in the famously bright sunlight of Thomond Park at 5 o clock on a January Saturday. The point was that Munster got the 2.30 slot prior to the floodlights being installed and kept it. It was the main/only rugby slot on RT...

Leinsterman

Munster definitely had floodlights in 2000.

God, I hate having a semi-final to look forward to

It's certainly an unusual hill to die on

Who cares? We've won Grand Slams with the boring robots, I'd take those over tedious anecdotes soundbites at overpriced roadshows and after-dinner speeches.

Exeter are still very much in this. It's unlikely but I wouldn't be surprised if they win

Uh, this aged well

It obviously should be.
So should Bilbao get the European Champions cup final next year with no Spanish rugby teams ever reaching knock out stages previously?
I think you broke Rodney

He's been broken for a long time now.

Re booing RO'g https://www.balls.ie/rugby/ian-keatley-reveals-profound-effect-booed-munster-fans-personal-life-362409 so instead of going out with your buddies last night,. you googled Munster and Booing. grow up.

Leinsterman

I hope nobody disrespected Doris yesterday during the coin toss and Aldritt looked him in the eye.

Leinsterman

Boogate would be the perfect epilogue to this saga. The media and pundits, having blown so much smoke up ROG's arse will now have to objectively ask the question: "is he a dickhead?" Once again, talk of an epilogue. 😂 ROG has two back to back European medals against you in two finals. Yesterday was...

Couple of questions LAR FB looked zonked after being treated in first half. Assumed he was walking off with medic only for the medic to continue and the player take his place in backline. Was he being treated for a head injury? Replaced at half time. No mention at all about the high hit by Aldritt ...

He had the cheek to lay into others about being “oracles “. He got a radgering, san lube, just like his hero.

Noticeable that he slithered back under his rock just after half time.

Less than 100 now. Looks like a couple of hundred have been sold since last night. It really is incredible

Leinsterman

Looking at the Ticketmaster seat map thing, there's maybe a few dozen tickets left. Incredible stuff really. It’s weird. Leinster are the only show in town but the media still fawns over Munster in a way that Leinster are never treated. Can you imagine the media hype if this was the week leading up...

I think it was Caitlyn Jenner who had the most apropos tweet....... "Good Riddance". I concur. And she knows how to use your privileged position and celebrity to get off with killing somebody.

FWIW I read somewhere on Twitter today that last years round of 16 match at LR generated € 1.4m for Leinster, after the € 400k rental fee, and 35% of the gate receipts going to Ulster. It really shows the importance of a home match in the round of 16; and must have Ulster and Munster looking to use...

Official attendance last night was 40,775. @Mr VP Were we, I didn't notice, too busy enjoying our win. Point still stands though. It'll be a tall order to sell 40k in less than a week although I'm sure there will be plenty of Munster fans willing to buy tickets and go to the match in a La Rochelle ...

The attack looked pretty fluid against the Bulls last week

Interesting quote on the BBC website re Man Utd:

They faced 28 shots here, their highest total on record in a Premier League game at Old Trafford, and 62 in all in two league meetings with Liverpool this season - and yet have not lost in three games, the FA Cup tie included.
