That’s a take I guess.

Great game though, amazing pace and skills right to the end.

In all honesty I have never seen a reffing performance like it. Because of the recent Saffer Rassie antics we all have to look the other way but not me. From offsides ro missing blatant fouls to not bothering with cards to ignoring blatant penalties I actually thought once or twice that I must be dreaming. He rapes Leinster against Munster everytime but this was something different. This was almost too blatant. At one point after giving Munster a penalty I swear to fuck he just burst out laughing. It was all a bit insane
Keep going I’m close…

I wonder if Leinster will finally learn next year. Bit ridiculous to make the same mistakes over and over. It's like insanity

It's only a mistake if they don't get over the line next weekend !

Leinster have a load of Celtic League/Pro12 titles, but its been all about getting the 5th European star on the Jersey, & signing off Sextons career, & Lancasters time with the Team

Lads what's the story with the Capetown pitch? Why is it so shit?

Any chance of it getting sorted by next season?

built on a beach, & the sand makes for nice looking grass, but its shit for having scrums on.

Sounds like they're redoing it in the break, I hope they do the base properly, & don't just lay new turf

Disappointing that Leinster tail off so much in May in recent years.
But they didn't play nearly as well as they could today, and Munster played well. Fair dues for getting over the line, took some balls with that dropkick.

Just got fingers (and everything else) crossed Leinster can get it back together for the Champions Cup...

Lets not lose sight of the fact that it was:

- An Inter Pro
- A one point Game
- Reffed by a former player from the winning side
- With the losing side with 1.5 eyes towards the next game
- Won with a DG in the final few minutes....

It was a semi final
It was Leinster B team
It was the Irish biggest derby.

Big question.

It was a choke?

Well the Leinster B / C team almost went unbeaten through the league, so in my opinion its a choke.

I'm an Ulsterman, I know a choke when I see one.

I was about to drag myself out of the pit and head downstairs to cook up a nice big celebratory fry, but now there’s no need. I can just scroll up and down and dine on your salty tears.

Yum yum.
