Champions' Cup Final

[johnthegriff]

A great win for a proper rugby club. I too thought the ref harsh but actually on the whole I thought referee Carley had a good game.

[Lutontiger]

Many congratulations Toulouse! You did brilliantly

Commentary team very Leinster biassed I thought.
But Oh dear, how sad, never mind!

Yeah, Mullins could do to wind his neck in!

You mean the bloke from Soar Valley
I must tune out because I don’t hear it

Well. That was fun, wasn’t it?

Made me laugh when the Leinster coach was interviewed about leaving this group of players to coach the Irish backs, it’s the same players!!!

[chewbacca]

I thought that was a tremendous game with the right result. To me there looks to be a gulf between both those sides and the prem at the moment.

I was thinking the same thing, couple of the South African sides at full strength could compete

[fentiger]

So, it appears Rassi's influence is still at work:

Really needs stamping out, fortunately this time it didn't help them to victory!

[JGT57]

Toulouse thrash Ireland!

Great result

After a few (perhaps too many) glasses of refreshment, I’ve realised something. Today’s final was a true spectacle, fantastic entertainment and a proper arm wrestle with tremendous skill, but very few tries. It was what our sport is all about, but perhaps not what certain parts of the media, dare I say governing bodies, would like it to be. A reminder of what we love to experience of a weekend, skill, commitment and blood and thunder. The thirst for champagne rugby might draw in the casual observer, but this afternoon’s final was far more than that. It was what rugby is all about. And it’s ours.

Strength and power with a game plan negates.....

Ferociously contested with no quarter given just what it should be.
What a stadium as well. I know some weren’t happy about it going to football stadium but what an atmosphere
