Was that pass before the second try forward?

I know there are plenty of folk who refuse to give Leinster credit for anything - but they are a simply wonderful team to watch. And I say that as someone whose second team is Munster!

They're incredible, but Peyper is becoming embarrassing for the sport.

He refs with his ears not his eyes. He goes with whatever the crowd tell him. He is certainly not reffing the Leinster offisdes.

Or the Leinster in at the sides.

Or the Leinster off their feet.

Why do refs never ref the breakdown when it comes to Leinster?

Agreed that they are playing very well, but I just cannot support a team with so much being put on their side. They have had the last three "rounds", QF, SF and final at home, then they get a sir who does whatever the home crowd want.

Go Stade Rochelais!

True - although any team that’s done its homework will know that he always
takes a laissez-faire approach to the breakdown. Leinster are smart operators, that’s for sure.

Leinster don’t need to be smart it’s literally every ref

Yup, and against those wearing yellow, he gives very quick "holding on" penalties!

Now multiple Leinster players surrounding the ref to tell him what he's done wrong, and he's OK with it.

Not good enough.

I’m not supporting them, either (note the Munster reference!) - but as a rugby fan have to admire what they do.

As for your complaint implying that the competition is rigged in their favour - sorry, I’m not getting sucked down that rabbit hole…it’s been done to death!
