    Shane Williams, you are a gentleman and one of the greatest rugby players I have ever had the honour of seeing in the flesh, but my sweet jesus do I bloody despise you at this moment. A special mention too for Roman "I don't have a clue what's going on in this scrum so I'm going to flip a coin" Poit

    Much better match than the HEC final. The HEC was entertaining but this (like the Clermont semi) was more final worthy.

    Great game and unfortunate for the lads, but you can't in them all. Osprey's are a quality team. A point in it over 80 mins.

    It's a load of rubbish twice in the last 3 leagues Leinster have ran away with it but to be beaten in the final by the hairsprays! A league is a league!

    Wales are best international team in Europe and Ospreys must be the best club team. To win away against Leinster!

    A game that, like the England match, signifies the importance of Mike Ross to Irish rugby at the moment

    Yes, let's not forget Ospreys have won here already this season. Right up there as 1 of euope's best teams.

    So wasps remain the only team to achieve the double.

    Gutted. Fair play to the Ospreys. They never gave up and played some great rugby.

    Leinster were 7 days since a HC final and missing key players. Not to mention they ran away with the league

    The winner of the Heineken Cup is the best team in Europe actually

    Leinster are the best team in Europe. Have been 3 out of the last 4 years. Ospreys are the domestic champions. Well done on your Rabo Direct Pro12 trophy. Maybe some time soon you'll win a Heineken Cup. Or 3.

    Tiredness eventually caught up with Leinster.

    Tough game against Glasgow, followed by the Heineken Cup final against Ulster, and then straight into this game.

    Ospreys didn't have a schedule as tough as that

    Very strange that Leinster - who ran away with the league title in this half of the season - should lose based on one game at the very end. Is this a league or not?

    Still, I have to hand it to Ospreys, they deserved to win this game today.

    This is why playoffs are bull**** tbh. Win the European cup and top the table by a mile and lose by a point in a one off game and the league goes out the window

    My god do i hate you Shane Williams, i wont miss you breaking our hearts, whether as a Wales or Ospreys player. ****er. Class ****er though.

    Every league in pro rugby has this format. Ospreys fully deserve the title

    Leinster were unlucky. Firstly in having to play 3 big games in 3 weeks. They looked tired. Then in missing SOB and Healy. Then Mike ROss going off injured. And most of all in getting Poite as the ref!

    Disappointing end but credit to Ospreys, a clean sweep against this Leinster side is an achievement in itself

    Saying a league is a league doesn't mean Ospreys somehow don't deserve to win, if you beat the European champions away you deserve it

    Schmidt "bemused by some of the decisions" mentioned shoulders above the hips during the scrums in the interview. Well done Ospreys made it a fantastic game.

    I can't help but feel that any if it was any other ref than Poite in charge and Ross didn't go off, Leinster would have the double.

    Not sure about that, although just my opinion. I will say that they definitely deserved to win the game though. Fair play to them either way, but I've never been a fan of that system.

    Poite was bad but he was bad for both sides

    Ok, Troll post I admit. I'm a Munster fan and agree that Leinster are the best team in Europe by a few yards and the best team in Ireland by a mile but as an Ireland fan I'm very disappointed that the Taffs beat our team today. We need to reverse this trend bigtime.
