    What does the law say about simultaneous grounding?

    Hmmm. It doesn’t. Seems to fall under the doubt about grounding law.

    DOUBT ABOUT GROUNDING

    If there is doubt about which team first grounded the ball in in-goal, play is restarts with a five-metre scrum, in line with the place where the ball was grounded. The attacking team throws in.

    Definitely. And he was better for it.

    Has the entire Toulouse team lost 30 IQ points since the quarter final?

    If he'd slipped that tackle there's no way he'd have been caught.

    I’m starting to think he should get Irish 8 shirt. We see if joe agrees.

    Agree. Stander or POM to fight it out for starting 6/bench spot.

    His footwork is what sets him apart from Stander for me, don't get me wrong he's a great workhorse and will truck it up all day long, but Conan's offloading and footwork means he's getting a hell of a lot more metres per carry.

    Toulouse are a dud. Tactically and mentally inept. Basically France in red.

    Couldn't have said it better.
    Clinical performance from Leinster, controlled the game and looked like they could have stepped it up another notch if needed, tbh. Bench players were excellent.

    They've played far better this season. What was frustrating was the amount of mistakes that were all fault of their own. Added that to Leinster controlling the ball and stout defence, it was a poor performance from them.

    Conan is really playing himself into starting 8 for Ireland on this form. He was motm for me. I maybe haven't seen enough of him in the last few months for Leinster but I feel like he's gotten significantly better handling this season.

    That was easily our best performance this season. After the Toulouse game in the RDS the Toulouse players said they were caught out cold by Leinster's suffocating defence. They were prepared for it this time and we still held them tryless. That was an incredible performance.

    They lost their game even with their starting selection. Since when is a journeyman Kiwi centre your starting option for a match of this calibre? And Ramos is just a dial-an-error at 15 from what I've seen. They quite clearly have the talent to win Europe, but their tactics and level-headedness were all over the shop. Some down to Leinster pressure but not all.

    Anyway, I await Buer to explain to us why Lowe shouldn't start the final :pac:
