6 hours ago Investec Champions Cup Brendan Fanning: 'Leinster have the best-resourced squad in these islands but can’t make it pay.'
Leadership and clarity escaped Leinster at a crucial time as their dream of a fifth Champions Cup star went up in smoke, again

As a french, it’s easier to win with Dupont, 50/22, turnovers, …
Sigh Leinster has no hope. They keep using the same tricks. Get that ball, get tackled, lay on the ground and pass back with no strategy to expand toulese defense. Passing the ball in the same narrow spaces…. How about kick the ball forward to create chances for backs, do a drop goal something different. Oh well, I guess france and toulese is so good at rugby. 😡🤨
Game over. I feel for Jacques. But not this Ireland B team.
Is it normal for the clock to run while the TMO wastes time?
I hope Gatland isn’t watching this game. He’ll absolutely convulse and poo his pants seeing Nienaber carrying water.
Tough one to call, without any South Africans in either teams’ 23.
But with Jacques in the background - Leinster will probably win it.
AdP may be the worlds best 9 - but can he lose the constant sourpuss face?
Remember how to write his name?
Antoine Dupont. AD.
Cheers mate.
We are in for a treat ! I have favourite players on both team squads, so will back the leading team, whoever!
This should be a cracker with Antoine Dupont up against Jamison-Gibson Park
Toulouse v Ireland A. Well at least Ireland aren't playing at ‘home’ for a change.
La mejor final que se puede ver en el emisferio
norte.
