I get that their good, I just think the commentary team focus too much on Leinster. And BoD’s “touloose” is hilarious!
No idea how Dickson is reffing this, he's well out of his depth.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Sounds like an obvious thing to say but the key to this quick ball is Gibson Park. He never gets involved in the ruck, that’s everyone else’s job, he is just there to get the ball away, and his cheat lines are sensational

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Leinster playing Munster next Saturday, wonder how many of this team will be playing
Re: EPCR Semi finals
Puts our result in perspective.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Leinster taking out Dupont when contesting the breakdowns so that he can't pick the pace up. Multiple knock ons, breakdown is a lottery. He's improving as a ref but I think there's more work to do and if he wasn't a former pro player he wouldn't be getting the opportunities he has.chris111 wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 4:32 pmI’ve no idea what the referee is doing wrong today.

Puts our game into perspective I guess.
We certainly look fitter than Leinster and Toulouse imo.

I feel slightly better about last week now. This is the best team in Europe.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Just sadly not as clinical as Leinster. They were very impressive again today. The attack just seemed be get over the gain line every phase. Can't see them being beaten in the final.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 4:52 pm Puts our game into perspective I guess.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Can’t read too much into our performance tbf. Leinster were away and coming in cold after a 3 week break for the vast majority of the squad. This weeks Leinster were definitely better than the one that faced us.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Remember that La Rochelle beat Leinster last season and they’re in the other semifinal tomorrow. La Rochelle are in a rich vein of form and are one team that could get the better of Leinster, again.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
I think more than that is the footwork of the whole back line. It just creates carnage in defence and allows Sexton to wrap around and all of a sudden they have more bodies on whatever side they’re attacking. Hard to think of how you stop it. The only thing would be if you have a rainy day and it’s a set piece game, which clearly is a worry against the big French teams, but that’s a long shot. Assuming Ireland play a similar game, they must be strong candidates for the latter stages of the RWC.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 4:32 pm Sounds like an obvious thing to say but the key to this quick ball is Gibson Park.
