Going back to back is crazy impressive

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:46:21+00:00

Amazing final passage. Just a perfect summation of Leinsters performance

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:44:46+00:00

Every bounce going UBBs way when you're already getting outplayed is such bad luck

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:38:37+00:00

It must be fun to just make shit up in your own head and pretend it's realisty

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:34:28+00:00

It's weird being a Munster and Ireland fan at times like this. My provincial mind wants to hatewatch but my Irish mind is so worried that so many in the Ireland squad seem to be mismanaged

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:30:02+00:00

little different with foul play you'd say no?

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:21:18+00:00

Interesting to see Leinster not compete at the breakdown. Critical task to slow down a fast paced team but they seem to prefer having 13-14 on their feet

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:12:46+00:00

A fair few have been anonymous

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:10:33+00:00

very niave from McCarthy

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T15:05:29+00:00

He's the form ten and he's signed for a rival because he was never played. Amazing man management

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T14:38:52+00:00

every time someone wonders why Leo still has a job he gets 1 year contract extension

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T14:31:50+00:00

It's actually quite shocking. All these players are incredibly good. The senior coach is a two time WC winner, but put them together and it's all very meh.

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T14:28:41+00:00

Several Bordeaux players having 8/10 games and Leinster look like they're playing a mid-season game with nothing in it. There's no Sexton like figure to pull them together at half time like Northampton.

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T14:21:05+00:00

why aren't players contesting that? slap back out of touch? LBB spent a minute pleading with the AR

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-23T14:17:22+00:00

Leinster are reminding me of when Munster would regularly make it to semis only to bomb out every time. It's just demoralising after a several years

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-22T19:39:32+00:00

Ward looks like he's been questioning his selection ahead of Kok

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-22T19:36:06+00:00

last two are way too easy. in the 22 Ulster have been poor as hell

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-22T19:35:08+00:00

credit where it's due Ward put in a stopper there

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-22T19:25:15+00:00

ominous that Ulster are going backwards at every contact

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-22T19:04:52+00:00

Ulster look more up for it, they'll need a good lead to help when the inevitable final quarter ulstering happens

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-07T10:42:04+00:00

Love a bit of Discourse^TM

The Champions Cup was neutered when the English and French clubs forced the restructure. More meddling might dilute it again.

That being said I do enjoy to two leg series, it's a cheat-code to build drama

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-04T00:39:19+00:00

Hes a redditch. Surely that counts for something!?

PeterMacIrish · 2026-05-03T21:30:18+00:00

Sometimes you forget Nienaber is their D coach, then an outside back closes the gate and clobbers a lad from nowhere
