@Billy-Tell superb final ,to come back from 0-17 down playing at the Aviva in Dublin you have got to give it to La Rochelle ,owned much of that 2nd half
Thought Gregory Aldritt was a worthy winner of the man of the match ,
I do wonder with so many Irish players in the Leinster team and with the RWC in France later in the year , if this lose will knock their confidence a tad..?

Don’t think Ireland are winning anything if sexton is out.

Steven Harris

@Billy-Tell agree

Doesn't even smile until they mention his Mum. Well deserved, he can return and help with the ABs if he wants. Holland to MacDonald can walk

I've just watched the replay. Fantastic.

TKB is still a bloody good halfback. A double ERC and SR champ now.

I’m surprised about the RC tbh. Looked like an absorbing clean out to me…

I'm not. No attempt to bind, shoulder to the head, launched from a distance. Easy RC.

When Munster get took down in Cape Town next week, there will be another blow for Irish rugby. Out in the quarters.

Andrew Porter: Ireland prop cleared after Brodie Retallick high tackle

Ireland loosehead prop Andrew Porter has avoided further punishment after he was cited for his tackle on New Zealand second-row Brodie Retallick.

@Billy-Tell Still waiting to hear somebody explain to me coherently why Gus Ta’avao’s was deemed worse than that one.

Rugby is a game dependent on the referee's interpretation of the laws. That's what makes it a dynamic and interesting game. /s

The reality is the outcomes are wholly dependent on the vagaries of individuals. So what is a series defining decision is utterly wiped out in another game when players and spectators like could mistakenly expect that defining moments would be adjudged reasonably alike. I mean who in their right mind says an "absorbing tackle" is when it results in a broken cheek bone of the attacker?

WR is run by drunken retards.

A couple of arseholes from Just Stop Oil tried to disrupt the English Premiership Final. Hats of to the stewards for tackling the tossers and the crowd for booing. Disappointed that all thirty players didn't bring back Old School Rucking to welcome the protestors to the field of play.
