    All I can say is they should have played frawley at ten more

    Horrendous game management and decision making, Leo has to answer some hard questions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Leinster had all of the momentum going into the second half of extra time.

    Just can't understand how they didn't capitalise.

    Do we need to acknowledge that Leinster and indeed Ireland have a problem with winning *big* games?

    Sickening today. We just don't seem to perform in these make or break games at the top level.

    Game handed to them by the ref, against 14 men and they still bottled it. 🤣

    Leo needs to move on. This is now an undeniable legacy of underachievement. Coaches botched it today.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,598 ✭✭✭joseywhales


    He so much **** better than byrne



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,022 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    Choked away yet again, Toulouse well worth their win



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭KaneToad


    Not sure Doris is captain material. He's a fine player but we consistently made the wrong calls.

    Leinster lack

    1. A bruising lock or loosie
    2. A top class 10

    Cullen has run his race. Too often the nearly man. Trying to get Toulouse down to 13 on a technicality is a bit poor form too.

    In other surprising news yet another final has a red card and Dupont named motm. Willis was excellent

    leinster and ireland need to route out the softies



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,036 ✭✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    Agreed. And Toulouse were superb at disrupting our maul.

    I think Ringrose was a huge loss here. His brains and vision would have made a difference.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?

    Tolouse.

    Champions of ireland, england and france.

    Lovely jubilee

    Too many mistakes, feel sorry for all the Leinster fans. I wanted them to win.

    I was in Croke Park and the end of that game worried me. The mistakes have continued since. I'm not sure why that suddenly happens, maybe it's a new sports psychologist they need but they need some change for sure . They have too much talent for this to happen again.

    Leinster their own worst enemy today, between stupid decisions and stupid penalties.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,723 ✭✭✭Jack Daw


    Shambolic performance from Leinster in the second half of extra time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,022 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    We're not going to win anything until we get a quality 10. Clermont levels now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,108 ✭✭✭Dillonb3


    Too many penalties conceded

    The lack of a decent outhalf hurt leisnter today. Does resting the main team work before these big games?

    Maybe a change in head coach🤷‍♂️

    Kieran Frawley should have played more at 10



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,293 ✭✭✭testtech05


    Too many mistakes and chances missed the whole game and a lot of kickable pens turned down. Thought a few times Toulose were out on their feet but kept coming back into it. Fair play to them but a sickener for Leinster to come up just short again.

    He wasn't the difference between the teams but Carley was pretty abysmal the whole game. Cant understand how anyone could say he was favouring Leinster in that game.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 200 ✭✭tbm


    Hard to know what to say. We’ve not been good enough, and Toulouse have managed things well. Gutted. It’s year 1 with JN. Let’s see if we can get a URC title, though they’ll be physically and mentally goosed after this I’d imagine.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,035 ✭✭✭Odelay


    Well done Toulouse. Kept their cool. Outstanding defence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭trevezel


    a band of loosers these leinstermen….4th finale lost….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭Dubinusa


    It's not the locks, it's the complete lack of focus. Complete and at sea several times this season. Uncharacteristically.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,849 ✭✭✭corny


    Where to start. Ross Byrne, indiscipline, poor decision making, the referee.

    Congrats Toulouse though. Fitting that despite all the guff from the commentators about them tiring, they outworked us when it really mattered in the last 10 minutes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,146 ✭✭✭uptherebels


    Leinster again refusing to kick their points costs them.

    At this stage, I don't think Dupont is even human.

    Byrne an idiot for not going off as soon as he hurt himself.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭Dubinusa


    They are! Fair play to them.
