The Finals are being held in Spurs Stadium next year.
Should be a straight red.
Sounds like Brace doesn’t think it’s red.
Of course he'll be all over this call after ignoring the earlier one
Yellow is ridiculous there.
I can’t say I agree with that. Can’t understand why they ignored the earlier head contact though.
Dupont copped a high short earlier in the game too which went not looked at. Let's not pretend that Quins are getting shafted by any means
Toulouse have lost so much ball at the breakdown.
Joe Marler is some moron
Braindead from Marler. What a fool. Any chance Quins had is now gone.
Joe Marler is an idiot. Wins a penalty to give them one last chance and slaps a Toulouse player in the head to reverse the penalty. What a clown.
Why is that not a yellow for Marler? I know there wasn't much contact, but it's still foul play hitting someone in the head. The guy is a f*cking idiot.
I was wondering that myself.
Overall that was a great watch. Went a bit dead in the second half, but a great game.
Leinster won't fear that Toulouse team
That Toulouse team won't fear Leinster
They should a bit. When they get going they're hard to stop.
If that Harlequins team was able to put 26 points on them, they should fear Leinster.
Neither side will fear the other, but Toulouse will have a few more questions for themselves. Leinster have beaten them well in their last two meetings albeit they were both at Lansdowne.
I'm hoping that'll translate to some nerves on the day of the final.
Given the history between the two, Leinster would likely be in their heads moreso than the other way.
Whats the strory with tickets for the final? Can't find any online?
Problem sorted, web site working for me now.
I have no idea how the headshot on DuPont only merited a yellow. Seemed like the kind of foul red cards are invented for.
2 great semi finals. Hoping for a classic final.
I don't either,he lowered his head to be on the same level as the defender and there was no mitigation.
What website?
I presume Brace viewed DuPont as having pulled back from the ruck as the clearout came in. Warburton was making that point after the game, and I'd have some sympathy for the Northampton player, but definitely think he was massively lucky to only see yellow
I see there is talk of changing things around yet again. 'Destination semi finals'???

Will they ever stop fűcking around with this competition…
Only the EPCR would sell 115 thousand tickets to two games and think "nah, lets change this".
I assume the idea behind it is that the destinations would "bid" for the right to host? Seems like an absurd hope when you spend all your time finding new ways to ruin the competition.
I know TNT are negotiating for the rights. But the idea of moving the semi final to a completely different country would negate the pool stages and screw over the fans.
Having 50% of the finals in the last 10 years in England is more of an issue IMHO.
