If they call a scrum they can bring a prop and hooker back on
Yeah but it will leave them light elsewhere

One of the worse 10 I’ve seen by a team 2 men up

And that why the high tackle can never be erased from the game,if you go low on Thomas it’s a try. Great defence

La Rochelle did their best not to win that. They will have to be a lot better to beat Leinster

I'd really hoped for a Racing win in memory of the great Racing sides of old.

They were my pick to win it all at the start of the knock out games, it will be tough as today's performance wasn't great and that 10 min period with 2 yellows was an extremely poor period for them.

I only caught the last 20 minutes - so many penalties! La Rochelle are capable of playing much better than today but up against the class of Leinster, sadly they won’t get the chance. However, my money’s on them to win the Top14.

Seemed to be Bristol plus plus. Some KTBA philosophy. If they can play with more control then they can trouble anyone, seems a strange way for them to play given their coach.
IMO they need a better 10 than West who I think is off to Toulon.

From Stuart Barnes, today, Mon 16th May:

"Make no mistake, they (Leinster) are Ireland in all but name and Ireland are without doubt one of the best four teams on the planet. In retrospect, Leicester Tigers produced a magnificent effort to lose by only nine points in the quarter final.

Toulouse, with a third of the grand-slam-winning French team were blasted off the park in Dublin. The manner in which Saracens were outplayed by Toulon suggests that the East Midland side may very well prevail against Mark McCall's men should they meet, as is highly possible, in the Premiership final"

Trouble is it's an article written by Barnes....
To win is not as important as playing with style!
