Did the cheerleaders last more than one season? Poor gurls used to freeze their bits off..... Tell you who i miss watching from the latter Donnybrook days - Regan King of Scarlets. Him and Felipe had a few cracking duels for who could sit their opposite number on their arse with a sidestep or offload.

Watching the Exeter attack in the first half and they really confused Leinster's D with their attack triangles - two running hard lines with the option of tip-on from 1 to 2 and a trail guy behind for the pass back who connects with the next triangle. It's very efficient because you dont waste many...

$£€!

Erm it's there to prevent bankruptcy among 5 rugby nations. Seems kind of worth it from that pov.

I think it's great to see the action being reffed and not the outcome, but he's the only ref in world rugby seeing it that way.

Flies in the face of WR, so to speak.

jezzer

Larmour is being more decisive ball in hand and it's showing in his metres.

Gulf in class today. Hopefully a big wake up call for a few Chiefs players and coaches. That really should be a huge lesson today. Pack went Ok by and large, but the backs let them down so often, they just ask too much of their forwards time and again. The quality of passing and decision making was...

He's trying to rebuild his swing back to how it was. Won't happen overnight.

I don't follow the English club games, apart from keeping an eye out for LI. How are Exeter going this year? 2nd in the Premiership but hadn't been playing that well - albeit it's hard to tell during the 6N because teams get affected by call ups. Except Eddie refuses to acknowledge Exeter as a team...

Creevy is a living legend. Disgusted we couldn't find a granny from Mayo.

Fookin dire.

Yer golden boy Paddy showing why he's a great distributor but not that much more.

Yup.

The Geordie Murphy brigade has quietened down over the years....

I reckon if we win tomorrow it's going to be right up there with our away performance against Clermont in the semis in 2012. Exeter aren't quite as formidable as that Clermont team in Bordeaux but we're missing a load of our top guys while we were pretty much at full strength in 2012 (albeit not ne...

Had Wiesberger in as my Euro pick and chickened out last minute!

I can only think Fardy is in there to hit rucks. Nothing like an Aussie back five player to wade into the breakdowns and fook things up. Must be in the game plan to contest the breakdowns and protect the pick and goes otherwise you'd think Baird has the edge.

jezzer

I don't think Luke Fitz was over-hyped at all. Quality player in every facet of the game. One of the best players we've ever had at Leinster. Was obviously unfortunate with injuries during the Schmidt-era, trying to rekindle form during the MOCalypse and ultimately recurring injuries did him in. In...

Leinster injury list: James Ryan, Garry Ringrose, Caelan Doris, Dan Leavy, Will Connors, Max Deegan, Scott Penny, Ciarán Frawley, Jamison Gibson-Park, all 3 O'Brien's, Adam Byrne, Jack Dunne. Probably a couple others I've forgotten. And 5/6 of those would start or be key off the bench. We're not ta...

I never ever bet against my team, but some may be interested.

Very surprised by that. I'd have given Exeter 3-pt favouritism, something like that. Not a punter but that could be worth a bet.

Matchup of the weekend for definite, but good chance the game itself will be one for the purist.

He’s trying to offload every time
Sometimes you just need to set up the ruck

And sometimes the offload is on but he times it so badly or executes it half assedly.

jezzer

And again....

jezzer

Fair point. I find him so hard to watch tho.

jezzer

Stockdale, so much talent, so few brains. He makes so many poor decisions is unreal.

Reidy is having himself a year.

Billy Burns - Percy from Blackadder?

You decide.

Lyon so slow to the ruck they're getting turned over for fun.

jezzer

Lyon's defence is a shambles now.

Another belter with Exeter-Lyon. Whoever wins will be a handful.

jezzer

Bench won it for them. We are about 4/5 players away from the next level. Happy with the performance, we also lacked a bit of nous and experience. Shut up about Barnes he was fine This would be my take. Barnes wasn't good but he just let a lot go for both sides. Munster could (should) have had at l...

jezzer

Pack too much for Munster.
Complain about the ref but he was equally bad for both. Earls should have been sent off.

jezzer

POM, just what the game needs!!!

jezzer

Barnes is letting so much go it's ridiculous at this point.

jezzer

That's a red card.
