    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.

    What a donkey.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,434 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    No excuse for that stupidity

    Unforgiveable that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,031 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,674 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    This is fully deserved from LAR.

    Destroyed Leinster this half.

    Full credit to them.

    Why no drop? Headless stuff. This is on that turnip Leo Cullen



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭Cosmo Kramer


    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.

    Stupid for leinster but how many infringements did lar get away with in the build up to that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,706 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,790 ✭✭✭✭Burkie1203


    LAR blocking to set up maul



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,324 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    This is maddening.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    Stupid penalty given away by Leinster.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,008 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,269 ✭✭✭ClanofLams


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,505 ✭✭✭✭GreeBo


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,674 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,680 ✭✭✭Xander10


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,840 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Complete bottling job from the Hino brigade,Rog is going to be in big demand



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,434 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭Eoinbmw


    Leinster only themselves to blame awfull performance in the second half!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,031 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Leinster once again come up just short.



  • Administrators Posts: 55,068 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,008 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Pretty damning indictment against Leinster. Complete choke job again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,455 ✭✭✭A-Train


    Leinster will never win again with Ross Byrne
