While heāll obviously rue missed opportunity on intl front, canāt say it turned out all bad. I mean, Iād take London and Lyon for life choice over Belfast.
La Rochelle have turned the momentum around after letting Toulouse have their way early on
13 apiece at the interval
La Rochelle gone the aerial bombardment route now after Toulouse had came back at them. 26-22 to Rogās boys with nine left
What channel was it on?

Ntamack bottles a kick to the corner, out over the dead ball line
Went to Lyon for the euros that time. Nice city I thought. Bates Belfast anyway. Although Belfast has its own gritty charm
Is this the league final or what?
The Bouclier de Brennus as G Thornley would have it, league decider is right
Ntamack! Le Miracle
A moment of genius from Ntmack
Sickener for ROG he will be seethingā¦desperate defensive read from sentini he made a bollox of the defensive line with lack of patience
Incroyable
The plucky underdogs from La Rochelle will have to wait for their first titleā¦
About 2 mins before the end they won a turnover right in front of posts and ref blew game up as one of their players got a bang on the head. It was a definite penalty and that was game over ā¦small margins
Great to see the IRFU taking such a hard line here
GAA take note

What about the team Terenure play against in the first game? Are they to be punished too?
Donāt know pal I spose they areā¦id say they would take it all the same. Terenure have biggest support base in the league id sayā¦the cost to them of no gate and no pre match function be way more than the fine
Iād say 500/600 people on average on the gate. Bigger when itās the likes of Con or Munsters who bring good support numbers. Clontarf have a far bigger home gate than anyone in the league.
Lansdowne Rd doing the dog in seat repairs. Only a dozen or so damaged (mostly from kids standing on them to see) but charging 500/chair or something rediculous. The bigger part of the fee in this instance was to Dublin fire for putting out the flares.
I donāt mind the flares as a bit of craic but take exception when they start pelting them down instead of just holding on to them. A fella at the limk cork hurling match got split when after one was lit, was thrown the front of the terrace and hit him square in the face. Not on.
