He rode La Rochelle raw in the first half. Was a bit more balanced in the 2nd half.

Was he concussed in the stand today ?
+1. It was reminiscent of the 2003 defeat to Perpignan at the same venue. A small provincial team coming over and sending Leinster home with their tae in a mug. The last 15 minutes was also eerily similar to last years final. Albeit on this occasion Leinster actually had an opportunity to retrieve the situation with 6 minutes remaining after that try. There was no coherent attempt to work the drop kick for Ross Byrne at all. It was startling.
Itâs concerning that a team containing about 80% of our international team failed on the big occasion again. Realistically they were only missing Beirne (Leinster homegrown), POM, Hansen and Aki and that would be the Ireland team. Henshaw is a better âfootballerâ than Aki too but is injury stricken at present.
I honestly think thereâs no need for Leinster to sign any overseas players at this stage. Theyâre producing a surplus of players nowadays. So much so that they can afford to allow the likes of Carbery, Conway, Beirne, Marty Moore, Jack McGrath and countless others to leave. The likes of Rocky Elsom, Isa Nacewa and Nathan Hines were great imports but at this stage thereâs really no need with the plethora of talent.

More a geebag really
Thatâs 3 seasons in a row now that ROG has had Leinsterâs number in Europe when you include the 2021 semi-final too. A surprisingly lopsided rivalry considering Leinster are invariably favourites to beat LĂĄ Rochelle. Tonightâs result only serves to heighten the respect youâd have for the job that Andy Farrell is doing. ROG surely the man for the top job when he does eventually step aside.

Leinster thought they could intimidate them with their stares and non-stares but it backfired horribly.
