Young Smith is the truth
Wonderful game
Hopefully the LAR faithful can bring a bit of noise. Can’t rely on the Leinster Lion fanbase to create any atmosphere even for a sellout match a few minutes from their front door.
Great to see Ultan Dillane starting a match this seismic. He’s had a rough few years personally but the move to France seems to have been great for him.
Amazing they couldn’t sell this out.
Grand start for La Rochelle
A team cannot win abig game with mulluckers at 10 and 15, a mercenary in the second row, and a fraud of a reserve 9.
Leinster have had the answers for every La Rochelle break so far
And a turnstile on the wing
Leinster are usually 10 points up by now traditionally though
Bastards
Osbourne looks a tidy player in fairness
Leinster could put 40 points on here. La Rochelle are Wrecked already and Leinster won’t let this tempo drop.
Forward pass from Byrne to O’Lowe was it?
Here we go-get something on d board here
And that was off his good side
Big “Joe” is a great man to fire a restart to. He’s still a penalty machine.
Looked forward alright.
Connors is a greedy bollix, have to pass that ball.
Bob Henshaw has to offload that there
