Investec Champions Cup Final - Toulouse v Leinster

[Ddanno]

Is someone going to tell Joe McCarthy what's happened to his hair, or does he just fancy a contract with Chiefs

He's just a **** Jonny Hill

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

This is like a schoolboy game. Very frantic with everyone running around but lacking in quality and precision.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Do Leinster pick weedy guys at 10 on purpose, or do they pick 10s and then put a line through all the S&C sessions on their schedules?

Byrne looks like a stiff breeze would knock him over

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Pretty sad to fail an alligator on a scrum half

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

well passing out of rucks is going to be a complete mess the rest of the game

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Prendergast can't come of age soon enough (tbh at 21 he could be playing now, only like 6 months younger than Finn Smith)

 

[BrokenWing]

Bit of a cheap shot

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

you sure you fine with that Carley?

 

[big ginger 8]

Can someone watching on TV explain why that try was called back? We''re clueless in the stadium.

Yeah you know it's bad when even Alex Mitchell looks jacked in comparison.

**** hair cut knocked it on trying to pick and go before JGP passed it from the ruck

He's 23, it's the law he has that chop.

 

[Stade Rochelais]

Toulouse is too strong in the defensive sector, Leinster will not be able to keep pace over two halves.
Toulouse took the upper hand in the rucks.
Jack Willis is on top.

 

[Groundhog]

Have only seen v small bits of this as I'm on badly timed brewery tour but it looks like a classic cagey final. Not a great game, but a good arm wrestle

In the game this final strongly resembles that of Saracens - Leinster in 2019.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Jack Willis is on top.

If you listen to the commentary, sure

He's reaching Finn Russell levels of over hyping from the media, in the first half he lost the collision in the tackle then got easily cleared out of the ensuing ruck and the commentary were saying how he was terrorising Leinster

 

[munstermuffin]

Leinster will win this. They look more likely to score tries and 6/2 split will work. Also they haven't been good last 20mins recently so will get 3 tries in this time

Agreed on this. I actually think Leinster forwards on top just made silly errors at times

 

[big ginger 8]

Oh no we've lost Jenkins, guess we'll bring on James Ryan.

Seriously though, this is a properly squeaky bum final. We've been far too loose with the passing. Should have scored 2-3 tries but Toulouse could argue similar even with their lik8ted possession.
