Yeah I knew that bit.

Did they just have a tournament over the 6Ns?

They have a pretty immense back line with Ntmack back. Ramos to return also.

Would be a tasty match up.

They were in training camp during the 6 Nations do he joined that

[Buzzo]

That’s what it looks like on paper

DuPont was playing 7’s to prepare for the Olympics

Toulouse look immense. Toulouse Leinster would be an epic final.

Not got my head around why DuPont wasn’t at the 6Ns?

Leinster hammer La Rochelle

The end for Munster

[Buzzo]

Libbok was great in broken play but isn’t a reliable goal kicker….. that’ll always be held against him. The “Cape Doctor” is a factor but he should be used to it

Leinster vs La Rochelle again - LAR have their measure but it will be close no doubt

He pulled it horribly. It wasn’t even close.

[Irishnev]

Yeah watched the end of that, they scored a try at the end and had a conversion to win it but couldn’t make it. Wind everywhere yesterday.

Some win for La Rochelle away to the Stormers…. big comeback and they’ve Leinster next who had a fairly routine win over Leicester

Yeah there were a few arguable decisions but that one wasn’t even put to TMO. It’s about as blatant a case of blocking as you’ll ever see.

Agree, thought both looked fatigued also. It’s a brutal schedule.

Giving you guys 7 points with a butchered line out in a game with 4 points in the scoreline is unforgivable. And we seemed to get pinged the entire tournament for things other teams got away with. But overall it was a disappointing tournament for us. Another ‘what might have been’.

Andy Christie looks a player for us tho

Christie was great, a real menace at the breakdown and tough. I was beginning to go full conspiracy by thinking appointing an English ref wasn’t fair

Worthy champions. Form fluctuated for all teams across the 5 games (except for maybe Wales) but Ireland were the most consistent.

Cant believe the second try wasn’t flagged for blocking - about as blatant a pen as you will ever see.

And Furlong’s downward pressure didn’t look good to you or the hit he took into his face when he was going to touch down

We deserved the win yesterday even though ye did better than the past few games. I thought both sides looked tired
