A decent half time lead would have made a huge difference to how the second half played out. That Saracens team are monsters so still would have been tough but Leinster would have had a realistic chance.iarmhiman wrote:That performance was good enough to win the pro14 final.

This current Leinster team is better, we don't need to keep comparing them to a team from 10+ years ago every time they stick it up the jumper.

Glasgow fans refus to accept these a shitty element in their support. They’re all as white as the driven snow.
Re: The Official Pro 14 Final Thread
So, Leinster squeezed the life out of Glasgow, and despite Owens best efforts won fairly comfortably in the end.
Hard luck Glasgow. You need some beef to be competitive at the tippy top end. Like Munster, just not quite there.
Anyhoo, another year, more silverware for Leinster.

Re: The Official Pro 14 Final Thread
Great game, great atmosphere, great occasion. Leinster just about deserved it. That was a red all day. Nige loves the irish.
I reckon irish rugby will have alot of catching up to do over the next couple of years. Fixated on kicking and one out rugby. We peaked over the last couple of years. World cup will be another quarter final failure.

Friend at it agrees with you by the way. I do know there were online threats that lads would turn up after Leo's shit joke. Maybe a few stragglers did
Re: The Official Pro 14 Final Thread
This sanctimonious bullshit from some Irish supporters does my head in though. A few boos at a kicker after a debatable penalty and an age to take the kick is the death of rugby as we know it. But I’m the 2 biggest games of the year a bit of foul play takes out our best player and removes him from the pitch, well that’s just rugby, innit.Conspicuous wrote:Where did you take this from ?

I’m not saying Hogg was targeted in those games by the way, but the facts are our best player had to leave the pitch in both. A bit of f**king perspective would be good.

Kearney was lucky not to see red, I thought, for the way Hogg landed on his head.
Glasgow will feel they lost that with the Hogg charge down the difference, but Leinster deserved the win imo. Suffocated Glasgow second half. OK, they were dull dull dull in getting there but it was very effective.

"A few boos" ah c'mon Slick. There was a lot more than that. Not that I particularly have an issue with it but it was very noticeable over the TV.
Not that it was any worse than you'd see in a French T14 game though

Will need to watch the game back. Handling was a mare for both teams yesterday, the thick rain made things very difficult but it's to Leinsters credit that they had the game to play to the conditions.
