EPCR Semi finals
Leinster v Toulouse
Saturday 14th May 3 o'clock at the Aviva Stadium Dublin
Referee : Karl Dickson with Christophe Ridley and Anthony Woodthorpe: TMO Stuart Teerheege
Racing92 v La Rochelle
Sunday 15th May 4 o'clock at the Stade Bolleart- Delelis Lens (home of Lens Football Club)
Referee: Matthew Carley with Luke Pearce and Nika Amashukeli: TMO Ian Tempest
Toulouse will need to be at the very top of their game to beat the best side in Europe, so they have a chance, but sadly I can't see it happening.
Racing too, will need to be at their best to see off La Rochelle, who in my opinion, could well win the title (they may also win the Top14 too!)

Re: EPCR Semi finals
No way the all French Semi finishes 15 v 15 with Carley on the whistle, he has the ability to spoil what could be a decent game, 2 dreadful TMOs as well.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
I want Leinster to win it: I admire their coaching team headed by a Cullen and Lancaster; great players and terrific fans.
Secondly if they win well it shows we weren’t as far away in Europe this season as some fans thought.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Lyon v Wasps both summarisers in the studio ex Wasps players, that’ll lead to some unbiased half time analysis

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Leinster's team is unsurprisingly unchanged for this afternoon's match but a couple of enforced changes for Toulouse due to injuries to Maxime Médard and scrum half Baptiste Germain:
Leinster: Keenan, J. O'Brien, Ringrose, Henshaw, Lowe, Sexton, Gibson-Park, Porter, Kelleher, Furlong, Molony, Ryan, Doris, van der Flier, Conan.
Replacements: Sheehan, Healy, Ala'alatoa, McCarthy, Ruddock, McGrath, R Byrne, Frawley.
Toulouse: Ramos; Mallia, Fouyssac, Ahki, Lebel; Ntamack, Dupont; Baille, Marchand, Aldegheri, Arnold, Meafou, Elstadt, Cros, Jelonch.
Replacements: Mauvaka, Neti, Ainu'u, Tekori, Tolofua, Flament, Page-Relo, Holmes.

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Robespierre I hadn’t realised that Racing had moved their game to outside Paris, does that make it advantage La Rochelle.
No sign of Taufua for Lyon, I assume he is injured

For me Wasps not getting the reward at scrum time they should be getting from referee Murphy

Re: EPCR Semi finals
Yes, he’s injured and won’t play again this season. The Racing v La Rochelle match would normally have been played at the Paris-La Défense Arena, but a rock concert had already been planned so Racing have relocated the match to Lens in the Pas-de-Calais département - which is about 670kms from La Rochelle!Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 12:46 pm Robespierre I hadn’t realised that Racing had moved their game to outside Paris, does that make it advantage La Rochelle.
