That aged well….My Irish friends from Leinster, Munster and all of Ireland, you must prepare yourself for collective disappointment.
If you make it, let me know. You'll have a Guinness on me.I am most certainly torn between going and being in debt
In fairness La Rochelle have a savage plane and flew from Cork to Dublin Thursday so no bus requiredIf you make it, let me know. You'll have a Guinness on me.

"Toulouse are quality. Leinster have always had their measure in this competition but the way they play the game will pose challenges. I see Harlequins had a big win as well.
"For me, it's two teams with massive tradition left, so it's not a final for Leinster today, I wouldn't think. There's still 160 minutes of rugby for them. We would have liked to have had that."

I know you always needed us to beat Toulouse for you ROG but we'll take it from here. Hope traffic isn't too bad on the bus back to Cork.![]()

Yeah someone said earlier that the SA prioritises the league which selections would confirm, Oz summed it up pretty well in the NH game, unless they can do something with the mechanics to make SA teams inclusion work it's a bit of a waste of time having them in it.Think Sleightholme has earned a place in the squad for the Japan/NZ tour.
It's hard to know how the SA rank against the best teams in Europe as they don't seem to send first choice sides north and vice versa. I thought La Rochelle looked pretty leggy against the Stormers last weekend IMO, so I wasn't hugely surprised they got it handed to them by Leinster today.
classic munster fansThe ROG being booed discourse on twitter is hilarious. Apparently disrespectful of Leinster fans to a great servant of Irish rugby who has only ever been gracious in victory or defeat…
ROG in victory:
"There's a small percentage of their fans I wouldn't have much time for, that made themselves [known] on the approach and I think that sparked up our boys for the battle."
Hope he's feeling bad and a bit lost at sea after his broken toys club got broken some more. LAR should get a replacement because it'll only go one way under ROG from here.
Yeah, but imo ROG as a heel with La Rochelle in europe has kinda given Leinster a bit of nastiness again.The ROG being booed discourse on twitter is hilarious. Apparently disrespectful of Leinster fans to a great servant of Irish rugby who has only ever been gracious in victory or defeat…

To be honest saw a bit of it but looked bad booing when Kerr Barlow was down. On rest that just nature of it all.The ROG being booed discourse on twitter is hilarious. Apparently disrespectful of Leinster fans to a great servant of Irish rugby who has only ever been gracious in victory or defeat…

Most Munster fans were cheering for Leinster yesterday. Not sure why they keep getting pulled in. Surely Leinster don't need to keep inserting Munster in to the scenarioclassic munster fans
Yeah I agree, that felt nasty today. We were rubbing their noses in it today, Lancaster teams never did that and got exploited. A few dogs in the Leinster team being unleashed under Neinaber - Porter, big Joe, Connors and it looks like Doris is following which would be huge for Irish rugby in general.Yeah, but imo ROG as a heel with La Rochelle in europe has kinda given Leinster a bit of nastiness again.
I feel that since MOC and then Lancaster came in that edge Leinster had grown from the likes of Cullen, Horgan, SOB, Healsip, Hines, Elsom etc brought got lost
In McCarthy you got that heir to the Cullen, Hines, Thorn of being just a hard ****. Lancaster helps grow young talent I won't deny that but he makes a team of likeable players and reality is likeable players don't scare big opposition.
Nienaber will imo create a new era for Leinster rugby it may not start this season but it will happen, and with ROG **** flinging he had the perfect material to make Leinster and the crowd hate something. I hope the fans embrace being disliked. Disliked winners is far better than likeable losers

Again was only saying what I saw on tv and no malice from Leinster. As I said on rest no issues and it was fair game.Yeah I agree, that felt nasty today.

TKW got a standing ovation leaving the pitch, I think that's being overblown. ROG has made it clear he dislikes Leinster and the crowd gave it back today. Fair game.
they dont its munster fans crying on twitter over the booing of ROG.Most Munster fans were cheering for Leinster yesterday. Not sure why they keep getting pulled in. Surely Leinster don't need to keep inserting Munster in to the scenario
Would disagree. Alot in Munster in fact the majority couldn't care less. I'm sure majority on twitter etc who say they are Munster or Leinster fans wouldn't know the first thing about rugby.they dont its munster fans crying on twitter over the booing of ROG.
was at the game yesterday and it was a great atmosphere, hopefully a few more days like it to come.
