    at a guess they'll be sent out end of next week when most of the remaining tix are sold and they know the name of the finalists to put on the tickets, and just do one massive mailing

    Going to the challenge cup final on the Friday and the big one on the Sat.

    Was hoping Connacht would make challenge Cup final

    As much as I’d like to see a Leinster vs Munster final, Saracens will smash Munster I’d say. Could beat them by 20 points or more.

    Leinster by 1-8 points vs Toulouse

    Live in Newcastle these days. Spoke to them on the phone Monday. Said they were busy printing the tickets this week and will be posting them out early next week.

    Also, off to Coventry in the morning (from London) and still hopeful of a Munster v Leinster final. Earls and Carbery out is a massive blow but I am hoping it's written in the stars for me to see Munster play in Newcastle!!! Easter is for miracles after all 😛

    The memories of the 06/08 winning Munster sides will never die but tbh it's hard too compare those teams/competition to what it is today with all the flashy money/jerseys/stadiums etc.

    Think Munster will push Saracens all the way today but just come up short.

    Toulouse to shock Leinster in Dublin tomorrow.

    Toulouse-Saracens definitely the neutrals choice. Two best attacking sides in the tournament

    Not the best rugby, but highly entertaining. So much happening.

    La Rochelle player could have thrown the game there with a daft kick at a Sale player that's copped by the TMO after the final whistle goes.

    In a strange turn, Nigel might have cost Sale the game in the end.

    Insane ending there, La Rochelle destroy Sale's attacking scrum on their 10m line.

    Just want to quietly point out the irony of a Munster man taking issue with someone who tried to put the fear of God into people. :pac:

    How hard can it be to have a reliable system the referees, assistants refs and TMO can use to talk to each other? They seem to have a communication issue in most games.

    Is that the hardest game Nigel has ever had to referee? That was exhausting and completely nuts from start to finish.

    He seemed reluctant to let the TMO have his say. Kept interrupting him.

    I don't agree with that penalty at all.

    Sinckler changed his line to cross in front of penaud (?) and caused that collision.

    Pen clermont in my view

    I agree. I don't like the rule that says you can hold your line.
    If you are not competing for the ball, get out of the way.
