Leinster v Racing is the most logical. If there is an upset its Scarlets that are most likely to pull it off. but aren't you just saying that purely as a mocker gods preventive measure ? How in the world are Scarlets more likely to beat Leinster in Dublin, than Munster to beat Racing or Racing to b...

I don't know how the OP bares any relevance to this year's competition and Leinster's run, but about the topic in the title of the thread, man, Scarlets are in for a whoopin. They were veryyyy avg at home vs an injury-decimated LaR, not making excuses for LaR just saying they effectively produced a ...

Make it public and expect public scrutiny. How much different is it to calling someone a faggot on the pitch? well our HomophobeXV now has a right wing (solomona), a fullback (Folau) and a centre (Bastareud) .. did i miss someone ? :P Yes, you missed every other single Rugby player out there on the...

An all Irish European final would be significant of what is currently occurring in the NH. But you've got to hope for more flavor in a Euro final. It would be boring as much in the Rugby as in the stake/outcome. For instance the last "all-French" (notice the quotes) finals from 2013 and 2015 surely...

Surviving or not surviving one game is meaningless when you're obviously not playing at a level that is adequate this deep in the competition. Like, if you can't win a k.o. game against one of the pretty ordinary teams in the comp with 60% poss/terr., and you commit this sort of mistake, then how co...

Oh shiiiiit !!! Leinster are going to win the title this year ! Congratulations to Ireland and Leinster for being so clinical.

Interested to read what the fans feel is wrong with English Rugby atm. It's obviously not a vintage year, and the key players seem to be in a funk: Farrell Itoje Joseph Kruis... do you feel those are the natural limits of those players that are now being exposed on the various stages, or is it some...

Realistically it’s looking like a Leinster v Scarlets final in Dublin :D yes, "realistically". I'm guessing Racing v Leinster. Leinster champs. Leinster-munster final. Same result. would be a great way of rewarding Ireland's domination at the European level. 2018 is definitely a disaster year for E...

Time for Owens to retire? Oh but, a long time ago though. Well done Munster. Toulon wasn't good enough and lost, Munster took the chance and won. Bam, another semifinal, Toulon gone fishin. Game over. There's a good reason why teams try to get a home draw, & Toulon weren't good enough for one, & to...

that's nothing. You'll never get rid of that. Racist chants and stuff are merely herd mentality and the repressed people of the world channeling their frustration in the worst possible way: gratuitous violence. You can't control that, it's silly to sit there and judge like we're better, you may not ...

He's not tried very hard though tbf. He's just getting that hefty paycheck and smiling for the cam, being "injured" 3/4 the time, just about basically... his first year there was good, but then errrrr.....

yeah, but how many french players actually in the game ? PR says : Clermont: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Peter Betham, 13 Damian Penaud, 12 Rémi Lamerat, 11 Remi Grosso, 10 Pato Fernandez, 9 Morgan Parra (c), 8 Fritz Lee, 7 Alexandre Lapandry, 6 Peceli Yato, 5 Sébastien Vahaamahina, 4 Arthur Iturria, 3 R...

my, what enticing Rugby.

COME ON SARRIES !!!! You're not terribly good this year, so we'd all rather have you hang around in the Cup !!!!

choke-a-holics. But in all fairness that was yet another ref killing the game case. How was that pass from Carter not forward ?

How many referees are worse than Nigel Owens ? A couple of the Irish ones there, Clancey and Lacey. But then. Who ?

Dork Lard

I've got less of a grand generalizing narrative like "can't see Munster winning away in France". I just think Clermont still have it in them to be the Clermont from the Pools, and they're getting a few players back who are slowly making the rotation again. Munster have NOT been impressive this year....

Go Saracens !! Leinster are too much of a threat for the rest of the Cup ! Please beat them by accident and make everyone else happy !

Nah but good game to both teams. Leinster the definite favorite so far in the Cup, especially after the Ireland Grand Slam, no doubt.

Dork Lard

Can I just say ? - Ashton over Zebo at the start is a penalty try. The ball moves out in the trajectory given by Zebo's hand's momentum, a ball Ashton would've otherwise grabbed with two hands and he was in the ingoal area. - That Guirado knock-on and Murray try was incredibly lucky and improbable, ...

Keith Earls was completely unstoppable tonight, and that's final.

He was stupendous today. What a fkng player. He makes every ball he gets a threatening possession, he's got fantastic feet (and legs generally, nice butt too), he's great under the high ball and he likes to get work besides just waiting on the wing. But what a fantastic, tight buttocks. Excellent pl...

I know this can be totally an aborted notion by tomorrow afternoon, but that's my (admittedly premature) take away. Would be a first, and an interesting matchup. I think Clermont will beat Racing tomorrow, albeit not by much, and then overcome Munster in the semi. Leinster should take care of busine...

Monor Curray is a scrumhalf who is good, but he's not the better of all the times.
Plus. Too stiff. He's good within a system. Where's the athletictness, the creativance ?

Dork Lard

My prediction is Leinster win this anyways. Can't see them losing at home. I can see Saracens losing the plot and losing by two possessions, but I'd predict a closer outcome, sth like Leinster by 6. At worst for Leinster, I imagine this match will look sth like the second Clermont-Saracens pool mat...
