Champions Cup Final - 2026

[ChicagoKid]

Danger zone. Leinster has to score next.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Bordeaux are sixth in top 14 right now. I’m assuming they know they can rotate during the season and win every knockout game by 40.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Smart by ioane to bleach his hair so his teammates know when to skip pass

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They should've actually gone to the right from the scrum, managed to work a 4 on 2 with the late shifts but the 8 went left instead

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Leinster look absolutely bollocksed

 

[Groundhog]

Lucu winning the battle of the balds. You won’t beat these big fucks through the middle really

 

[Rinkadink]

How long on HB's loan before he comes back to Bris for the rebuild?

Anyway... Think that line out and play after showed the difference between the two sides at the moment. Bordeaux have been so efficient when attacking. One query though, is a player deliberately slapping the ball into touch not a penalty or is that okay from a line out?

 

[Groundhog]

Absolutely diabolical to let that turnover stand.

Always bet on The Stath

Doris isn’t denting the line. Gotta get someone on the field to crack the line.

Was thinking the same - has it ever been called before?

Feel like you'd have to be a brave ref to call it, not sure Dickson has the minerals

Josh Van der Flier plays so heroicly when losing finals. Will be such a shame if he never gets one of these

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Yeah it’s a penalty and I thought he would call it. Like if that’s midfield he’s either catching it or tapping it to locu. I’ve only seen it called at top level when guys (Sonny bill williams I know did it once) bat out a contested ball in-goal.

I’m sure he’ll win one for la Rochelle or Toulon in 8 years.

 

[Gavin]

Cardiff, you are beautiful. We'll win tomorrow and smash Glasgow wherever we play them.

A dirty, dirty double is on the cards.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lmaoooo

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

That try was too dumb mark it off.

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

Over bar the shouting now….

 

[big ginger 8]

Second it goes bouncing you know how it'll end.

 

[ChicagoKid]

Pure stardust. The difference in the back lines is worlds apart.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

UBB are the perfect rugby team tbf

 

[TRF_Olyy]

LBB's stepping is like juking on old school madden games - just sends people flying every time, it's not even a contest

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Leinster really needs to stop charging down kicks

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I’ve said it before Leinster need to start sending their promising youngish players off to France for two years to learn rugby outside of Leinster

Ala Jennings and Cullen when they came to tigers at a time of Tigers being a dominate force

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

This is sad

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

Shocking pass from Byrne.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Jesus

 

[ChicagoKid]

Game blouses.

 

[Groundhog]

Well that’s that.

Crazy coincidence how the cameraman is always focussed on that French woman in the white top when she’s jumping up and down!

 

[Gavin]

It's not like Leinster have been poor, Bordeaux are just unplayable
