Extended Highlights - Bristol Bears v Leinster Rugby Round 1 | Investec Champions Cup 2024/25

[@user-is9of]

Prendergast x Barret is our best 10, 12 atm honestly scare stuff

[@LAMARC1]

What a combination🔥

[@goffers92]

33 seconds into the meeting and the match is 30 mins in.... what a first half !

[@johanesterhuizen1842]

Doris is probably the player that gets away with the most infringements without actually being penalized , off his feet and offside , and just lifts his hands up in an apologetic way.

[@xinyuActor]

i think they call that the rugby dark art 👀

[@NiamhRoche-wk8bp]

U bitter bout would say that!

[@black-yj5br]

And Du Toit doesnt do likewise? Give over

[@dairet1945]

Jealousy of Doris building the better he gets, great to see.

[@harryocallaghan8082]

Not at all. He has an incredible rugby brain and sees things before they happen. That’s what all the greats do. He’s extremely clever around the breakdown & in attack. He’s one of the most naturally gifted rugby footballers I’ve seen since Kieran Read. Quality young world class number 8.

[@martmeister]

Just a taste of what a world XV would look look with some of the best Irish players and Barrett and Snyman in the mix. Prendergast looking impressive.

[@Moosecannonreal]

Oooh looking good eh? I’ll tell you what mate, us kiwis have a new northern team to support and that team be Leinster!

[@touffulyge6926]

... or we discard all of leinsters' players and use Toulouse/La Rochelle instead. After all, failing 3 times in final is perhaps not worthy of world XV status..? 😉 with love, from the baguette world

[@jbask7124]

They have won it 4 times though 😂

[@touffulyge6926]

Yeah, more than a decade ago 😊

[@cormacfinan4706]

2018 is not more than a decade ago? 🤫🤫

[@JoeBloggz-x2j]

Pendergast is a bit like O Driscoll. Both could do freakishly skillful things under pressure but look like they’ve lots of time to do it.

[@SVAgxlxxi]

holy glaze

[@harryocallaghan8082]

That Prendergast try was a thing of beauty. Under pressure inside the 22m’….Doris to Porter to Snyman to Prendergast. As good as you’ll get!

[@jonnywalker5361]

The loss of Leinster discipline is a little worrying. Those two trips plus Kelleher penalised for talking back to the ref.

[@andrewharris1837]

Real old fashioned cup tie.Loads of testosterone upfront,twinkle toes in the backs with Leinster know how seeing them jome😊❤

[@vuyaniman9440]

You can easily tell which commentator is supporting which side 😂😂😂

[@alexlemon27]

Very thick Irish accent, it makes sense 😂

[@David-h1f4r]

Like The English commentors that are terrible . We have a few awful commentators in Ireland but we have pathetic ines . Like this Irish Numpty nugent , cahILL,

[@Tereyoc]

Rly Nugent used to be the nation sports editor in the Irish national broadcastor RTE and was the main rugby commentator. Left for the big mow-LA in the UK. Which is a pity because the fella that replaced him is as skilled in commentary as the last shite to come out of a dying fishies arse.

[@DM-rp9ik]

​@Tereyoc Ah Hugh Cathal the turd that won't flush

[@richie82]

Great highlights, thank you!

[@lucabrits2859]

Just me, or is the refereeing appalling this weekend

[@kavindrabarror7059]

The referee is fussy.

[@qcsorter4626]

I now fully believe! I could see Prendergast's undoubted talent, but I felt that the absence of a line break threat allowed opposition teams to just focus on his passing. His performance ticked that last box for me. My only worry is that he's not saddled with excessive expectation at this stage of his career

[@invino1475]

Really poor by Deegan, good chance he was through for a try

[@skibbitybopmdada]

Munster fans in shambles watching RG tearing it up for Leinster completely healthy (and don't blame them)

[@obaraabraham9934]

Even with 3 yellow cards, the Bears still got nailed bad.

[@irishrugby609]

Barret

[@romainmp421]

2:29 yellow card , seriously ??🙄

[@antestup]

Rubbish call

[@johnhanson5943]

Phew!

[@sebastianfortuin1318]

Yellow card to hooker five meters away nd bristol try nd get smart. Take the scrum take the 3points on offer. 😮

[@invino1475]

More and more wondering what would Ireland and Leinster look like without the guys from NZ SA - I know rules and rules etc but with that alignment and consistency at province and national I think it flatters irl

[@physicsno1]

What would NZ look like without the Fijian/Samoan born players. How would England look like without their non English born players? Same for France, Scotland, Australia, etc etc. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@invino1475]

@ ok I’ll stop wondering

[@Tereyoc]

And the new Zealand Barrett's lived in Ireland when they were younger.

[@Paul-v2e2o]

Leinster 1 New Zealander in the starting line up 1 French Subs 1 South African 1 New Zealander Bristol 1 Irish 1 South African 2 Fijians 1 Argentinan all starting Subs 1 Irish 1 Samoan New Zealand 2 Argentinans 1 Zimbabwean. People need to brush up on their knowledge before spouting the same narrative over and over . It's like they just copy each other 😉

[@terrybrady392]

Poor little invino.😢😢

[@hotbeefymcd8162]

Prendergast take a boo son

[@physicsno1]

That French ref tried his best to get Leinster to lose. 😂😂 He failed miserably. 😂😂

[@desmonddoyle4470]

Yep,looks like the French have produced another graduate from the Inspector Clouseau school of refereeing.

[@daviddesreumaux338]

Contre la Rochelle et Toulouse,c est lui qui arbitrait ?

[@johnnibaz6883]

The refs aren't responsible for the irish taste for cynical foul play

[@littlehollow7836]

2 yellows for a collapsing scrum? Really?

[@Thatiscutebr0]

Must have been repeated collapses from both sides. Didn't see the full game

[@jonnywalker5361]

He gave them tonnes of warnings. He was fed up with the scrum so was a fair call.

[@richie82]

Shows he had no idea what was going on

[@bigbadfrank]

You have to wonder how English teams will ever compete in Europe when they're playing against essentially a national team in Leinster/Ireland. Shame, as fixtures like this just never seem competitive anymore, even with a Bristol team who have been great in the Premiership.

[@fatsoblitz]

Develop as many players as Leinster do, they have the playing numbers and the money

[@Cpchurch87]

I mean, if we take the last 10 Heineken cups, English teams have won 4 and French teams have won 5…..

[@inamortz2372]

I'd worry more about Toulouse 😂

[@otaibonny8835]

@@inamortz2372 toulouse is something else 😂😂😂😂😂

[@joanlarkin7808]

Remember it was the same when Sarasons where at their peck. Sport is like that it has its highs and lows.

[@thapelomashiloane3818]

This Leinster team should be banned, it’s too strong for anyone to stop. It’s really unfair. 😂

[@arthurdums5045]

Toulouse would smash them

[@tomf1dublin1]

Leinster don’t get smashed by anyone . Toulouse best side in Europe but would be interesting match up between the two teams . I look forward to it later on in season

[@louiss2441]

Leinster seemingly always get the referees on their side

[@physicsno1]

You must have watched a different match. The ref was all Bristol.

[@MrMarkshortt]

What ???? You need to watch the match again.

[@desmonddoyle4470]

Ref had no clue about the scrums,look at the the scrum late in the game,Leinster got the shove on Bristol,who crumbled and wheeled.This caused Leinster to wheel,but Bristol get the pen.Go figure.

[@paddyt4043]

Crack is whack man!

[@harryocallaghan8082]

🥱🥱🥱

[@ndawgnelly]

Rules are ruining the game. Far more entertaining a generation ago

[@jonnywalker5361]

Nah man. Last generation have serious health and cognitive issues. It needs to clean up and the skill level is up a notch from last generation.

[@David-h1f4r]

Alongside the match official's the commentators are pathetic 📢 . With there awful and pathetic views in SHsport .
