Belting atmosphere at Leicester Vs Sale.
Makes the Leinster game look funereal.

It’s a great game this.
These knockout games in England are always a good occasion.

3772

Absolutely brutal brilliant game.

3773

Prendergast’s kicking has come off the boil and his tackling is still poor but he can do things still which others can’t.

Where has the Leinster crowd gone

It was made clear when Jordie Barrett signed that he wasn’t doing it for the money - one can only assume it was for the big occasions like that instead that he came from the opposite side of the world.

That was a handy win in the end, I can’t see Bulls winning if Leinster play like that again next week.

I see La Rochelle missed out on the Top14 playoffs so yesterday was a good day. :beers:

Prendergast might be able to do some things other players can’t but too many areas of his game are so below par, his strengths do not outweigh his weaknesses. He might be a better passer and maybe better at seeing space than Crowley but Crowley is by far a better all round player right now.

Watch. Leinster will win this and then nov intls we’ll be told how Prendegast steered his team to silverware and deserves the starting 10 jersey.

Irony be long lost.

I don’t care as long as the rugby lads are putting more money into the GAA’s pocket

Leinster really putting Northern Transvaal to the sword here. They’re not the same force when you take them out of the high veldt of Loftus Versfeld.

19-0, three tries to Leinster. 24 mins gone.

This is dire stuff, no atmosphere & the bulls are shite.

3787

This is a nightmare result for any chaps in the Leinster Academy hoping for a solid head-coach in the next few years.

Watched a few mins of the ingerlish game mainly because it was bright sunshine and a full house. Harsh enough yellow at the end tbh.
