Yes get in! Such a hard match!!! Glasgow very unlucky good team

Swiwi

I think this game/ref illustrates why the new scrum bind is worth a go. Nice close match...and it ends on yet another scrum infringement :mad:

Not in the slightest. What match were you watching?

Would have loved extra-time from my semi-neutral perspective!

I think Glasgow will be my fourth team to follow next year, they play some cracking rugby!

Leinster were lucky today, very very lucky

Glasgow will rue that loss to the Scarlets with a few games to go, but for that they could have been looking at a home semi final, a hard trip for anyone

Did you watch the game? Serious question.

Good game. Glasgow played well this season. Pity the RDS wasn't fuller to see a great running game

Do feel sympathy for Glasgow, I have to say.

Now that was a game, tight the whole way through, never really knew which way it was gonna go

Plenty of walking wounded on the pitch after that match.

Either team would have been worthy of a final place. Great game

MOTM is Matawalu for me.

But Mark Bennett showing his class as well. If he stays fit he should be starting at 13 for Scotland very soon. Finally delivering on his potential

That was not good for the nerves at all

+1 from me. Haven't seen them much, but they gave it a lash. Fairplay to Leinster for holding on for the win though. Tasty final in store - boards will need a new server I imagine to cope with the Leinster/Ulster traffic.

Sign of champions and all that, not a coincidence Leinster are winning these games 70-80 percent of the time in the last few years. Leinster of a few years ago would have found a way to lose that.

Glasgow are outstanding and have been the last 4 or 5 times i've seem them.

Bennet, Maitland and Hogg are three serious talents.

Bar Hogg's miss, he looked dangerous every time he had the ball.

BionicRasher

Matawalu was great too.

Just delaying the inevitable anyway lads.

He was good but Heaslip totally outshone everyone else. He is just a tackle machine. Unbelievable.

Crimsonforce

Glasgow were fantastic, they actually deserve to win in my opinion

Very lucky to scrape the win there. Glasgow were the better side, but they just didn't have the luck/composure needed to get the win. Disappointing that there was such a poor turnout, but you'd imagine that many supporters - rightly or wrongly - bought tickets for the final instead. Great to have an all Irish final.

That last scrum was a farce, as was the ref for most of the game.

I think Ulster might feel more confident after this performance and with a 2 week rest.

Leinster win, but very fortunate in the end IMO.

Bounce of the ball kept Nacewa out in the first half, no hint of fortune in the victory. For every point Glasgow could have scored, so could we.

A bit harsh. Leinster had plenty of territory and Nacewa nearly got in twice for tries. In the 2nd half Glasgow only really got territory in the last 15-20 minutes.

In my mind, ye two lads are sitting together in some Munster living room sipping bitter lemon and gin.

Judgement Day

Entertaining edge of the seat stuff and definitely one of the more enjoyable games I've watched in recent months. Well done Leinster and Jamie Heaslip in particular. The final is going to be a real humdinger!
