Which is even more galling given the size of the park in Dublin. If Ntamack can't make use of space there, where TF can he take the ball to the line?

With the greatest respect, Leinster had hardly anything to defend, Toulouse ran 1 out plays almost continually, it was a tackle turkeyshoot.
Happy to judge a defence when they actually are challenged, they weren't.

Liebenberg/Reffell/Wiese made Leinster work infinitely harder last week than Elstadt/Cros/Jelonch
Thanks Torque, finally battled my way through to have the pleasure of watching the second half with half the pitch obscured by a lady's arse. Not the worst outcome! Cheers!Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 2:43 pmhttps://meta.fbstream.tv/live/stream/le ... sain-fb-1/

I'm using Firefox with an ad blocker so don't see any of that. Maybe I need to turn it off. Would have been better than watching Ntamack.....
I live in Germany and More than Sports TV have been showing a lot of games free. I'm in France at the moment and watched the Leinster Toulouse game no problem. Maybe from UK you need a vpn set for Germany . The other semi is being shown tomorrow. It's always with the BT Sport commentary by the way.

Really enjoyed the semi final Leinster vs Toulouse and understand that the Saffer teams are in for one he'll of a battle in this year's URC and next year's Champion League. Also watching this morning Soup which is below the standard of Europe. I think where us can add is with our rush defense specifically the Stormers.

Not the first time Farrell's on the wrong side of the ref. Surprised it doesn't happen more often.

I have every sympathy with Ollivon having to interpret that barrage of non-standard English through Brace's accent and while he's blowing out of his arse in the final stages of a bruising fixture.
Refs really need to get better at communicating with ESL players via short, simple sentences with as much standardised phrasing as possible.

Toulon try their best to fuck this up

Atmosphere was great though.
Been busy celebrating my youngest 18th birthday, starting with a brunch that prevented me from seeing more than 15min in passing of the game.Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 2:46 pm No sign of La Soule or Frog to comment on Leinster's ruck speed? Commentary calling it "ridiculous" with average being under a second. Where are Jelonch, Cros and Elstadt in slowing this down? Bearing in mind that Baille, Marchand and Dupont are among the best, non back rowers at turnovers in world rugby.
From what I saw it was one way traffic, with the Toulouse players completely spent.
When you win all the collisions in rugby, it becomes easy. And Leinster execution was excellent quality as well.

Also, like I said, with Ollivon coming back to fitness, Jelonch can f**k off unless he improves markedly.Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 1:34 pmOutside bet on Toulon who now they have got rid of most of their injuries, are on an upward arc. Depends though if they give a sh*t about this comp.
On a separate note, I hope that finally puts paid to some of the bollox in French quarters questioning Villiere's abilities. Especially when some of that comes from Ntamack supporters.
