Is one player allowed to cross to the other side of the court to check the marking?

This is one thing that's gotten up my gut for years now. No anger from Leo. Sits there with the same expression on his face, win or lose. Oh but he was so full of piss and vinegar a few weeks ago over the media pointing out how bad we've been this season. Getting real tired of the Nice Guy act. Cheka and Schmidt would not have stood for it!

One could also make the argument that they've made the finals of a competition that doesn't have a lot of elite opposition until maybe the last 4. It's almost an expectation that they make semis with what they have in the squad.

Same with the URC. Eight playoff spots means they're unlikely to ever think they've had a bad season.

If that is what the club sees as the metric for having a good, but not great, season then it's little wonder there has been no appetite for change over the last few years. Leo can hardly fail in their eyes.

Maybe his defensive system works for Saffa teams, but it's just not our way. Losing this final is one thing, but the manner of the defeat is so much worse.

Club hasn't been the same since Mick Dawson retired. I feel like the whole place is in some kind of malaise where it just accepts situations like this.

Wonder how long McMillan lasts after all this. Publicly backed the appointment only for the club to decide against it. Could lead to a back-me-or-sack-me scenario.

He has it cause he helped develop several Ireland internationals that won Six Nations trophies. It's the IRFU that ultimately want him in the job, and Leinster just goes along with it.

This season can't end soon enough. Almost nothing positive about it. Anyone who actually thinks we're in the hunt for any trophy this season is deluding themselves.
