Just expressing an opinion. Funny that getting told to "**** off" by another poster doesn't raise any issues for you.

Suggesting Heaslip is a waste of space is trollbait at best

Completely biased report of the game from the local paper if anyone wants to read it

Of course he isn't but I'm fairly certain he dropped the ball at the death; that's a disappointing lack of composure and not a mistake he can afford to repeat.

Predictable chest-beating and I'll bet their forums are unbearable.

Of course they are OTT, but for a team to pick themselves up after the hiding they took last week takes a lot of guts.

If my comments annoy you so much maybe you should ignore them

Leinster's current try count of 8 tries could be a deciding factor in ranking for a home QF.

Considering 'Leinster could rest all their best players' and 'We are right to leave the HEC' comments on their forums last week, I'm very curious to see what will be posted on them tonight.

I phoning UPC to cancel my subscription to this thread as we speak.

Anyway, we all know MY input into this thread is superlative. I made some stupid comments last week, but this week I am back to my sensational best posting style! :pac:

Means we need two bonus point wins for ant chance of a home q4.

Gutted we coughed up the LBP in the end. Would've been happy with that as I assumed we'd get that away.

pickarooney · 14-12-2013 09:50PM

I hate LBPs. That kind of consolation prize might be worthwhile for the likes of Zebre but you shouldn't be given anything for not getting beaten quite that badly at home when you're the top ranked team in the group.

Just checked; so far so good (but I only looked at one). Some uncomplimentary comments about Welsh teams, but the 'one step from glory' brigade are remarkably muted at present; can't last.

Not as unbearable as I thought it would be, hm...

Did I not warn you? They did it to us last year, fcuked up our season completely.

It was Podge who said my warning was unnecessary last week as Leinster wouldn't lose this week. If you are looking for a scud, it's him!

That's a bit mad, Ted.

I said before the game (on the SCRUM V forum) that we may well lose to the Saints. If anyone believed that to be impossible, they weren't wearing green and yellow.

Jim Mallinder's assessment.

http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/mallinder-urges-saints-to-savour-leinster-win-1-5750744

Level headed assessment I thought.

Fair enough and he is (at least) being respectful.

Taco Corp · 14-12-2013 10:04PM

consensus in the ground was that the ref was one sided. but fcuk it, if you're depending on the ref to win then you probably don't deserve to

I've never rated that ref (nor Romain Poite) and I never will.

Poite isn't too bad (even if he has had some absolute stinkers over years), but Garces, I've never rated him. Still, as was said above; if you can't play the ref, you probably don't deserve to win.

I quite agree and we should have had enough in the tank to take the tie.

One sided to who?

This whole ref only reffed one team is getting very boring and irritating I have to say.

That's bollocks. The ref made a couple of questionable calls early on and then it's up to the players to adapt.

we lost because we were sh1t. End of discussion.

Particularly as the referee didn't drop that last-gasp piece of possession.

Consistently inconsistent you might say.

Perhaps but it all fells like that 2011 RWC defeat to Wales; should have done better, but we didn't.
