Well that was grimly familiar.
Once again this Leinster team failed to deliver when they came up against a bigger pack which bullied them off the park. They started brightly enough and wasted a couple of decent chances in the first half that could have had them further ahead. But while there was a lot of focus on the La Rochelle attack in the build-up, we should probably have focused on their defence which is the meanest in the Top14.

No post in 24 hours on this topic ??... There seems to be a distinct lack of interest all round I’m afraid. Hope the team are not in same mindset.

Couldn't give the slightest shite about it. Post season set of wind down matches if you ask me.

Currently watching the Stormers vs the Bulls. Boks all over the place, knocking lumps out of each other: Stepp du Toit, Vermeulen, Kitzof, Steyn, Hindricks, Kriel etc. etc. Man, the Pro 16 is gonna be so cool!!!!!
p.s. They're playing some lovely running, offloading rugby too!!!!

Particularly when we can have a cheeky long weekend in Cape Town to watch Leinster play.riocard911 wrote: ↑May 8th, 2021, 6:07 pm Currently watching the Stormers vs the Bulls.

The odds are good but the goods are odd.

Need to deal better with their blitz defence than we did in January.

This is the worst I’ve seen Leinster play in days. 82% possession for Connacht after almost 15 minutes. They’ve taken their chances in fairness.

Currently making Connacht look like peak New Zealand.
And then we do something decent.

Not bad from almost literally our first possession. Weirdly, I still feel we’ll end up winning this fairly comfortably.
