[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 941860, member: 45598"] I totally agree and couldn't have put it nearly as accurately myself from a Toulouse perspective. And despite all the Toulousains telling me I'd lost the little French I had you're still my second team! You're dead right about a French captain, Toulouse is infinitely closer to what French rugby represents than the national team. I don't think there was much more than experience between the sides today, look at the key players and they nearly match up apart from 3 or 5 or 10 years difference in age, the prime (and one of the few where they shared the same position) example being Ramos vs Kearney. Ramos could clearly cut open teams like RK was 10 years ago but today experience, knowing where the ball would be and knowing where to set up the next point of attack was the difference between the two players. I love Toulouse rugby and nothing today changed my mind, the core of that squad has anything from 2 to 5 Heinos in them and I'll be cheering them all the way bar Dublin based losses! Now for a bit of ************... Leinster were damn good! Camped on their own line three times and no tries conceded, clinical when we had to be, Robbie Henshaw showing why every other player in rugby union is a wee *****, fast pace, feeocifer defence, mostly accurate kicking, clean, structured and clinical rugby, I could go on. That is why I watch rugby, moreso that the audacity TLS displayed at times. Not a classic Euro fixture but a reminder as to why we do it! Kind Regards, Drunk euphoria [/QUOTE]
