Leinster are a great side but they have choked away some big games over the past 2+ years, Don't think this is a controversial opinion at this stage and with this evidence.

IBWT

JJ Hanrahan to Connacht. Wonder was that pushed along by Carty's terrible form in the playoffs. Should provide some competition at least.

Yep, two good semis although very different games. One high scoring. One very low scoring but very close.

Hansen just seems to be getting better and better, super player.

They have signed a big 2nd row and number 8 for next season so should have a bit more beef in the pack.

10 increasingly a problem.

IBWT

Every time Connacht get close someone makes a howler. This time Tom Daly.

IBWT

You could see Farrell screaming at Ralston to take the man out wide and he didn't.

IBWT

Connacht are well in this game. But you feel someone has a stupid mistake in them that will gift the Stormers something.

Would be a good move for both parties but I don't think he'll leave Leinster.

He used to at least play well for Connacht but he's been a complete liability the last couple games.

IBWT

Carty continuing on his awful form from last week. 2 knock ons and 2 missed kicks to touch already.

IBWT

Connacht down to 14. Man injured.

IBWT

Those kicks were sub optimal from Connacht. Won the first two but no need to try a third one. Put it down the corner.

IBWT

Connacht get relief and throw it straight back to Ulster.

IBWT

That Hansen deflection is rotten luck.

IBWT

Connacht determined to butcher a game where they have been almost completely dominant.

IBWT

Connacht have been much the better side. Carty’s hopelessness has kept it close.

IBWT

Blade hat-trick against Edinburgh.

IBWT

Crazy to think that only for the cancelled Covid championship of 2020 that Ireland would very likely have 4 Grand Slams in 5 years. U-20 Grand Slam success more remarkable than achievements of Andy Farrell’s team - it’s a minor miracle Ireland’s U-20 Grand Slam may be even more remarkable than the o...

U-20 Grand Slam success more remarkable than achievements of Andy Farrell’s team - it’s a minor miracle Ireland’s U-20 Grand Slam may be even more remarkable than the one achieved by the senior side. At senior level, smaller nations can sometimes close the gap to the big guns through inspired manag...

Gleeson still U20 eligible next year.

IBWT

Osborne wins two restarts.

IBWT

Lesson to the young lads here. They kinda stopped playing.

IBWT

Chessum has been great for England. Saved a certain try there.

IBWT

Monty Bradbury is a tremendous English rugby name. Not so great tackle technique though.

IBWT

England & Wales in various stages of transition but that's a really excellent French side and the best Scottish side in a long time. Ergo that's a really good slam for Ireland.

IBWT

Everyone on the forum stand up for Johnny.

IBWT

Ireland doing some amount of daft stuff. Just do the basics. You have a man extra.

IBWT

Keenan out anyway.

IBWT

I think a yellow would be fair there. Red seems harsh.

IBWT

Unintentional but he nailed him with the elbow.

IBWT

Peyper seems a tad confused here.

IBWT

Bit silly from Sexton that. Basically a 6 point swing.

He's not the biggest or even the fastest winger but his all round footballing ability is invaluable to this side. Very hard for defences to plan for him as he turns up everywhere.

IBWT

You could probably give it to 3 or 4 different Irish players and there's not much between them whereas Dupont is still the stand out in a very good French side.

IBWT

Ireland were superb in the 2nd half. Honestly thought they were goosed with the injuries and a 7 throwing into the line out and a prop playing at hooker for the entire 2nd half. Seemed like Scotland were in a great position to see it out.

IBWT

Bang to the head from the thigh.

IBWT

Ringrose injured now.

IBWT

Probably should be a yellow there as well. Scotland get away with it again.

IBWT

He’s lost a couple balls but Hansen just makes things happen.

IBWT

The revolutionary 3 prop front row.
