Cracking match, Champions Cup Final Toulouse v Leinster

[Buzzo]

15-15

Extra time. Intensify is off the scale.

[Buzzo]

Just when it looked like Toulouse were home and dry Richie Arnold gets a red and it’s back to a 3 point game with the second half of ET to go.

Incredible match.

[Buzzo]

Looks like Leinster have blown it.

Three points behind with a man advantage and ten to play and they’ve given away two pens and now trail by 9 with 3 mins to go.

Toulouse have always had the lead.

DuPont had been ridiculous as usual. Has there ever been a 9 that can jackal so succesfully? He is amazing over the ball. Plus amazing at all the other 9 stuff.

[Buzzo]

Toulouse win.

Phenomenal game.

Leinster just not clinical, they missed Ringrose who is hugely underrated

[Buzzo]

Same for both tho, Toulouse kept out twice. There really wasn’t much in it.

It was a brutal game at the breakdown, both teams have a lot of attacking talent but they couldn’t get going because of the physicality of the defence. Toulouse defence, and Jack Willis, was immense.

Doris really cost Leinster playing the ball on the ground after an immense personal game.

Was good to see Kinghorn have a great game. One try saving tackle, kicked well, ran well, decent under the high ball.

That drop goal also… so close.

But Leinster never lead, Toulouse just deserved it.

Yeah, if we had our original kicker, that would have been over the bar for us.

We were always playing catch up & couldn't get a grip on the game. Toulouse defence were very physical, Willis is some player.

Bulls v Leinster what a game.

Bulls defence was ferocious all match.

[Buzzo]

Munster v Glasgow a cracker also.

Very impressive display from Glasgow.

[Irishnev]

Not the results I was hoping for tbh but both were deserved

[Buzzo]

Snyman already at Leinster. Was worried when he came on and he was ****.

Glasgow impressed me, really gritty performance, one that might be a good sign for the national team. Sione got MotM and Huwipolotu were fantastic - it was a deserved win. But the standout for me was Zander Fagerson he was phenomenal.

Tough final though having to travel to South Africa.

[Buzzo]

Wow.

A ****ing outstanding performance from Glasgow in Pretoria to beat Bulls. Stuck in the game and the try just before half time to make it 13-7 was huge.

Then a simply incredible effort second half.

Zander Fagerson going 80 AGAIN just 7 days after the semi final with some performance.

Great win

I’ve been to the Loftus as few times, full house is some intimidating atmosphere
