that's disgraceful, both in letting Etzebeth off, & leaving a player with a head injury on the pitch

They looked quite goid in cuffing Saracens but they have hardly had a shot off tonight

This’ll be Cornell du Preez’s second silver in this comp, he was excellent in a losing Edinburgh side to Gloucester

Because Sarries game is all based around beating up the oppos and Toulon did a number on them.

Etzebeth proving once again that he thinks being a hard man is equivalent to being a dirty piece of shit.

More on Tempest in the TMO seat that one.

Regardless, I hope the dirty cunt gets a 3-4 month ban for that piece of scumbaggery

Primarily it’s on Etzebeth for being a dirty cunt.

Yes but Pearce seemed to be laughing and joking when he should have looked at the reviews and the TMO must have been sleeping ffs

Toulon's whole game is based around power. Couilloud's fast service is simply bypassing RCT's pack whereas Serin's snail delivery is killing his own team.

I have always been a believer in Couilloud. Unfortunately, his trop to Australia wasn't a success and he lost ground in the hierarchy of the scrum-halves in France. Hope he gets to travel to Japan though he will be in competition with Le Garrec.

100% this. As you know, for a long time I thought he was no2 in France behind Dupont. But he wet the bed in Australia and showed he had not the mental fortitude to be an intl. Le Garrec is a mile ahead of him.

Shaun Edwards comes across as such a genuine guy.

LaR putting some serious physicality in at the breakdown, the pace Leinster are playing at, Antonio will be blowing out his arse after 15 mins

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 3:53 pm**

English referees and Irish rugby teams. An unbeatable combination

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 3:56 pm**

Game on

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 3:56 pm**

Really good opening 10 to the game

Nice try

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 4:10 pm**

Is going to the edge the same as going wide or am I ignorant of something?

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 4:10 pm**

Leinster a bit rattled? Very sloppy play from them.

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 4:10 pm**

Get the feeling that Leinster need to keep game as fast as possible to capitalise later.

Yes and no, edge of the cover, which may be wide sometimes

That makes sense,ta.

Leyds and Rhule!

That'll make a lot of Saffers angry. To be fair they were pretty average when they played here.

Hooker getting the Spanish Archer after 10 mins must sting, commrnators said it was tactical

He was treated after the skew lineout. No way he was taken off tactically.

Only going on what the commentating team said they were told

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 4:24 pm**

I stand by what I said. There isn't a chance it was tactical. I'll find a hat and eat it if Leinster confirm I'm wrong!

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 4:31 pm**

Irish commentators are an absolute curse on the game

Agreed, you could tell from the way he was holding his left arm that he wasn't right.

I reckon he got injured, & that was why the throw was so squint

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 4:37 pm**

La Roche rather shot themselves in the foot there

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 4:40 pm**

Leinster play winning rugby. The wall will break in the 2nd half.

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 4:50 pm**

The thinking seems to be that was La Rochelle’s best chance in the 1st half. But they look dangerous ‘if’ the 50:50 passes stick. High risk.

I was wondering if the throw was due to injury. It was so bad and very unusual for him.

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 5:07 pm**

These are not really pressure penalties, they are silly ones and they are killing La Roche

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 5:11 pm**

West doesn’t offer much in the way of a threat

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 5:24 pm**

You stupid cabbage

Typical French camera work. They hated having to show that trip.

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 5:27 pm**

Utterly fucking brainless, if they lose because of that he should get sacked.

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 5:29 pm**

Some really sloppy handling and organisation from Leinster. 1 try and they’re done.

Edit: La Rochelle deserve this.
Actually, wonder if this a warning for Leinster that perhaps you can’t just roll your a team out and expect them to perform.

Posted: **Sat May 28, 2022 5:38 pm**

Anyway - c’est le final Europenne et c’est deux pages seulement.
