@thehcd BOD is an absolute legend! What a cracking final its gonna be and based on the form their in at the moment theres only one pair of hand I can see liftin the trophy and thats BODs

[@andrew097]

that was such a amazing display of pressure place kicking by Sexton.

[@12105258]

Fantastic match! Well done boys! Bring it home to Ireland now

@theirishneilers for the O'driscoll foul, the ref was right. It was not a ruck but nevertheless you have to respect some rules near a tackle. Here is the rule: "At a tackle or near to a tackle, other players who play the ball must do so from behind the ball and from directly behind the tackled player" The problem, I guess, is that O'driscoll was not behind.

@theirishneilers I'm a Toulouse fan and it was a great game.No problem with the referee he made a good game too.Leinster won the rucks battle and was more disciplined,it's definitly a great team. But I have some remarks:Even Nyanga pulled back O'Brien,the reaction is crazy and dangerous.It was almost a KO and you declare that he was right to react this way?!!! You can't say that...If you say our second try is a joke,I can say that your first try is a joke too:The video didn't prove anything

[@zisssssou]

A few pens were totally gifted to Leinster but they were more solid on the whole match

[@electricladyland91]

@willow4star ye but northampton havent beaten the three best teams in the competition consecutively

[@andrew097]

Northampton are a fine team with loads of options. Oh Leinster can beat them but they will have to bring their A game they cant do a Munster against Harlequins ie just turn up

[@Egosounder123]

i really don't see how they couldn't be able to beat Northampton after this imagine what they could do to them if they atually hit their pre six nations form.

[@jp94ireland]

@zisssssou toulouse dont cite him only the independent erc commissioner can, dont act like you know all the rules when you clearly dont

[@MADDIXT]

@mrfloppyjoe i support northampton but that is still a funny thought!

[@Raichu234]

what an oppourtunist try at 20 haha!

[@tony10396861]

@kassopuccino O'brien barely touched him!! It was a slap, and Nyanga wasnt hurt at all. And if you play rugby yourself you'll know that if someone grabs your jersey, it's an instinctive reaction to try and get him off, especially on your own line! As for the O'Driscoll thing, I dont know where you got that rule from. If that was the rule, then what would happen if you, say, intercepted an offload? The ref decided that the ruck had formed. It's close, but I think he was wrong

[@groslardu]

at 3.10 this is absolutly not a penalty !!!!

[@electricladyland91]

@thehcd thats weird i seen fitzgerald and mcfadden the day before leicester and fitzgerald was terrible haha

[@like2surf]

@anisocoro Feck it, Irish people don't want to live in Ireland anyway, its too cold and it rains too much, we can always watch the HC overseas.

[@theirishneilers]

reaching your arm out isn't a double movement.you have to try to get up again.o'brien would be able to tackle anyone from 5 metres out if not illegally held back.if you do those things in rugby,expect to be punched. for the bod yellow,no ruck had formed so there was no offside position - it was till in open play.picamoles pushed him into the toulouse player anyway. i agree it was good not to cite o'brien..in the spirit of rugby.leinster won by 9 points so these things didnt make a difference

[@groslardu]

@theirishneilers nothing to say about the rest jjust pass by the center of the ruck when the ball is out for me its not a penalty and im not a toulouse fan just a rugby fan and yes leinster is better

[@MADDIXT]

@mrfloppyjoe a very long jog though, while a rotweiler chases after u ;)

[@DKP4]

@charlesm553 Ha ha!

[@theirishneilers]

He went over the top of the ruck - that's a penalty.Toulouse fans moaning about the referee is pathetic - your second try was a joke,Nyanga pulled back O'Brien clearly.He deserved to be punched.The O'Driscoll yellow card shouldn't have happened,because a ruck hadn't actually formed when he interfered (therefore there's no offside line and you can take the ball from any angle).As well as that,Picamoles actually pushed him into the ruck.Stop complaining about the ref,he was better for toulouse.

[@jimbomalley]

@charlesm553 cocky coz their winning? tables have turned on the bitter munster fans. wouldnt be looking to share it around if munster were in the final would ya chief?

[@zisssssou]

ref was for toulouse? lol. he was bad for both first leinster try: double movement from heaslip, which should have ruled out the try, Pearson just checked it because of leinster claims BOD yellow card: learn ur rugby, totally justified, he comes from an offside position Toulouse 2nd try: could have been disallowed because of nyanga obstruction, but picamoles would have been hard to stop at 5meters O'brien punch: could have been red card. thank toulouse for being classy and doesn't cite him

[@anisocoro]

english clubs have to find their own money by themself in order to continue playing high level rugby, where as Irish franchises must only spend the huge amount of money that Irish Rugby Federation (=government) gives to them every year. The government "saves" money from school, healthcare, military and so in order to let >Irish franchises to win cups, so Irish people are happy instead of the deep crisis into which the Green Island has fallen. But it will come a day in which honesty prevails
