Leinster Vs Munster Pro 14 final build up thread

Hopefully the nerves have settled now - reckon CJ and Coombes will come out flaming in the second half. Farrell and Kleyn also immensely physical.

Leinster doing their best to keep Munster in it though

Kelleher, VdF and Henshaw stand out for Leinster. Coombes, Stander and Murray the best of our lot. How we are level is beyond me. Think if we can hang on without conceding a try for the 1st 10mins after half time we're in with a real shout. Leinster will be looking for an early score

Wonder how low before Leinster look to the likes of Sexton/Furlong/Lowe. They’ve got 20 minutes in them surely

You're right to appreciate them before any tackles above the hip is red-carded. It's not far to happen:rolleyes:

Just begging for your one and only traditional linebreak per half (Keenan) is not enjoying rugby.

How many finals are Connacht & Ulster in this year?

Coombes, Stander, Murray & especially Kleyn for me in that first half for us.

VDF, Kelleher, Henshaw and Ruddock for Leinster have been the stand outs for me

No.

Yes Sometimes.
And it's brillant

If you prefer that style, you have to support England:P

Agree with all of those especially Kleyn. He’s been very good and flown under the radar a bit.

This post is an embarrassment to Connacht supporters almost like the 21 point lead we threw away on Monday night

Disagree with D'Arcy re: Henshaw.

Can't see Henshaw being subbed off. He's arguably been the best player in the pitch and certainly didn't look tired coming off at HT.

Delighted with that scoreboard. Absolutely no reflection on the game.
This could be our day based on Leinsters lack of clinical finishing.
Wind behind us and rain forecast for 2nd half... I'm a little bit more optimistic than I was before kick off.

stephen_n · 27-03-2021 07:03PM

The errors are going to bite us in the arse here. We should be at least 10 points up now.

Please, please stop quoting him.

O'Loughlin has been quite poor. So much so I wouldn't be surprised if Sexton comes on for him and Byrne shifts.

There's nothing contradicting being much more brillant in attack then those two teams and being very poor in defence/mental in a dead rubber

irishbucsfan · 27-03-2021 07:05PM

Has ROL passed to the ground more than a team mate?

testtech05 · 27-03-2021 07:05PM

ROL has had a poor day with his passing

Absolutely atrocious display of passing, in key areas too

He's been surprisingly poor. Over the last few seasons he's been a solid, error free option at either wing it centre. Nothing has gone right for him today.
