Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

Explain. This is knock out rugby so don't see it Beat a big team with a big emotional performance, only to lose the knock out in the next game. This is clinical. Not emotional. We have three weeks to regroup. Ireland played brilliantly in the QF. NZ did also. Your example doesn't make sense. 2915 F...

I think he’s going to turn out a far better players than Henshaw. Very high skill set and equally as big and athletic.
Dunno, Henshaw at his physical peak was pretty special, maybe should have been played more at 13 during that period

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

Was that the whole stadium booing ROG?! :lol: Not for the first time. Proper order. Why do they hate O'Gara? Is it a Leinster, Munster thing? ROG talks a load of shit in the media (he's always swanning about on podcasts etc), and he clearly loves beating Leinster. So he can take the boos.

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

Massive moment Yeah agree. We look so nervous, very unusual for a Leinster team. LaR juts have a psychological advantage over us. We have a few lads out there who are not great. Our pack has fronted up. Our backs are fairly piss poor. Henshaw has trucked it up manfully which seems to be the only op...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

Too many gifts in our 22. They've created very little. They've created nothing. That last try was an absolute gift, right from the first penalty. Throwing your jumper across the gap on a 5m lineout is schoolboy stuff. As I said headless chickens. Bad lack of leadership I had people jump down my thr...

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

Skelton is basically having one phase of involvement, then walking for the next 2-3. Perhaps Radge's optional training isn't looking so smart after all. That’s what I don’t get. LaR are carrying two fat fucks in the pack, Atonio is so off the pace it’s ridiculous. You’d think there would be huge op...

Larmour is the only one with pace.
And he takes a skip before he gets moving.
Or else runs sideways
Ross can pass well and intelligently, but his options are limited by the fact that he's way way back and passing standing still.

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

Byrne did well in the end there*, but it was so noticeable in that set he wasn't committing any defenders. *though most 10s would have been able to get outside the defender and wouldn't have needed to do the basketball pass. Yeah, he can pick (forward) passes well.But he's really not offering threat.
