    Terrible use of the bench again from cullen. Healy gets 90 seconds.mcgrath and Frawley don't see game time. Didnt learn from last year

    Game over.

    But the lead up to that was littered with infringements from LAR, absolutely maddening.

    Red card and penalty. This looks to ending like a damp squib for Leinster.

    This is fully deserved from LAR.

    Destroyed Leinster this half.

    Full credit to them.

    There were multiple opportunities to set up the drop goal before the red card. Poor game management not to slow it down and set it up.

    Congratulations to La Rochelle. Deserving winners.

    I'm utterly devastated. Feel like we'll never win another one again. Home crowd 17 point lead and still can't get it done.

    I just don't know. I'm bereft.

    This is maddening.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    Peyper is a disgrace. Carbon copy from last year, with a clear penalty to Doris being denied and ends up with a La Rochelle try

    Last two seasons by Leinster probably the biggest two years of underachievement by a club rugby team ever. To come away with no trophies. Wild.

    In fairness we were close enough and 14 on both sides I think they could have got the try, but it was helter skelter stuff instead of controlled.

    Disappointing result. No idea why we didn't take the drop at the end but we didn't deserve to win that. Completely disappeared in the second half.

    We can't moan about Peyper too much.

    He let us away with murder in that first half.

    Sickening. They overpowered Leinster. I’d have preferred more running from the back but probably wouldn’t have done it.

    Headless chickens that last five minutes. Never looked at the drop goal option of just protecting the ball, all too rushed

    Absolute bottlers. Second half was a disgrace from Leinsters pov. Kick the ball away was the strategy.

    Honestly that second half is unbelievable. Leinster were absolutely battered. Completely blown away physically. I don’t think I can remember anything like that.

    It’s not a consolation but credit that you only lost by 1 point, cause most teams would have been absolutely smashed today.
