[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1090780, member: 45598"] Home advantage had less of an effect during Covid. It completely flipped my perception of it, I thought it routine, comfortability and familiarity were primary factors that aided home teams but the crowd definitely plays a massive part. I always thought it was just pandering to the fans when players mentioned how much of a difference it can make but looking at it differently now. I think one of the biggest deciding factors of the Heineken Cup final was how loud La Rochelle were whilst Leinster sent a bunch of Altar boys that gave other fans dirty looks for cheering for their team*. *The second time I've experienced this in France, a large portion of our fan base need to remove the sticks from their holes. I realise this adds little to this thread but I'm still not over it. [/QUOTE]
