Watched the last half hour of the Munster game. It felt like a 00’s Heineken Cup game. Proper atmosphere and underdog stepping up. Brilliant viewing

Fair dues to Leinster but Leopold is gonna forever be a lad that got carried to a Heino. No Dupont and a Barret/Snyman combo is cheating.

[jellyfish]

That’s absolute nonsense. Cheating my arse.

[Diabhal]

Your words, not mine. He’s gonna be forced into winning his second Heino.

[Juhniallio]

Ah lads. All the leinster/munster shit is pure bullshit. That was brilliant from munster today. Winning a game they had no right to win. Scoring off nearly every chance they had then fighting like bastards. It was a tonic and an amazing result. Hon Munster!

Looking like they will probably have to beat Bordeaux away then Toulouse away to reach the final with Leinster favourites to make the final on the other side of the draw.

Id say Bordeaux are the kind of team who would give us more of a hiding than Leinster even. Id say we won’t live with their pace for 5 mins

If your out there @BruidheanChaorthainn send a sign

That was a great win and a great performance last night. Regardless of what happens next their is a foundation there for the new coach and they showed great spirit. Id love if POM stayed on for another season still vital to team

Going to be great watching the two sets of half backs battling it out now. Casey looks like he has improved during his period of injury…running those cheat lines like Dupont the last two weeks

[tallback]

Yeah it was a real shame he missed the 6n as I think they would have looked to give him serious game time. Fingers crossed JGP has enough in the tank to make the RWC. He’s a fit fucker so a good chance I’d say. If so you’d have 2 high quality combos at half back which would be a big improvement on the last 2.

It’s a must to have two decent sets of half backs

Hopefully JGP will get there. Thought there was a few worrying signs through the 6N on his form but he was great yday albeit against a poor team. When the end comes for a lot of top players it comes v quick. He is still miles ahead of the rest though

Any rugby jargon highlights from yesterday?

[myboyblue]

Cheat lines?

He may have had a better 6n if Casey was around to share the load. Played a lot of minutes

Agreed that’s a good point

Will be a Clare 2013/24 sized asterisk when Leinster win

[Good_Will_Punting]

Why do O Gara coached sides always have terrible fly halves?

That West fella is hopeless.

[Bisto]

@jellyfish

He didn’t really. That win in Marseille was jammy, Retiere slipped near the line and just about made it over to score right at the end and Leinster didn’t have enough time to respond as the game ended with the conversion. It’s about as bad a loss as you’d get.

We lost but me won.

@Good_Will_Punting

That West fella is hopeless.

West actually moved to Toulon after La Rochelle won their first Champions Cup but came back after one season.
