#LeinsterRugby nervously escaped and made their way closer to a fifth European Champions Cup, after a nail-biting finish at GAA HQ on Saturday evening.
A James Lowe hat trick capped an impressive first 60 minutes in style, but why did things fall apart as the final whistle approached? Will Luke and Cian discuss how a 37 minute period without a score will be punished by a better team than Northampton. Leinster will now line up against a very tricky Toulouse team for the final, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, May 25th

Luke F is 💯. Leinster on Sat reminded me of their performance v Saracens in the 2019 final. I was in the stadium for that one and their energy level and accuracy were very poor

Fly half is a real worry going into this final. If it's a cagey kick-fest (which these finals often are) then I would not trust Ross Byrne to do the job, especially against Ramos. His lack of pace is a big issue too. When he took that intercept in the first half .... f***ing hell like.

You're not held up if you can pop the ball. They are mutually exclusive.

Any thoughts from the cian and luke about cian healy not getting any minutes? Glimpses this season of what he still offers ball in hand and still a better scrummager than porter in my opinion. He needs 20/25 mins at least to get into game 5-10 mins is just pure stupidity

If I did not know the score I would think Leinster lost this game based on this pod😂

Luke makes a fair point about the lack of match time. But he doesn't offer any solutions to the problem of having a 2 game tour to South Africa before a European semi final.

Play them in the first match of the tour (v lions) and then send them back for a 12 day turnaround for the semi.

It's a 2 match tour and the whole point is that a squad goes and does it together. Cullen made the right call.

@nidgeot9968 17 күн бұрын

@@user-vk8ww5mc8m why is that the whole point? (It isn’t.) Solution to lack of match practice is playing matches. Cullen made the wrong call again for the third year in a row.

From earlier this year, v munster I think. If ball is available its not heald up and Leinster were on pen advantage. Also they won and by more than the last 2 finals were lost

I have to say I have stopped watching this crowd including ruadrhi o connor for a particular reason. It's is as simple as this,they have forgotten that Leinster won that semi final.I didn’t hear criticism like this been levelled at teams like la rochelle which Leinster beat twice this season. It's as if,if they've nothing to whine about especially Leinster than there not doing their job.Lads give it up,you reckon you can do this job,you can't. Why don't you manage or play for one of these teams you supposedly "analyse " maybe you would have a better idea.You're not even on the bloody field.jeez!!!

Some of the shit Luke Fitzgerald says is bewildering. On this episode he was obsessed with "catching a cold" but the best line was "there was an ocean....it was like the Red Sea."

"He's a good guy yeah....he's a nice fella." Completely unrelated points aswell.
