But mostly, I am excited to see such players in person. Was in France for both Paris 1/4Fs, excited to see many of the same players again.

Blair starting over Ramos in a French side is huge, fair play to him

@raphaelg17 4 ай бұрын

From a Toulouse fan Blair has been class for us since his debut. His defense and high-ball ability will be a huge asset in the beginning of the game. (he's quite a funny lad too so it's nice to learn more about players) Later on the experience and creativity of Ramos combined with his goal kicking could come in clutch. He's also suffering (if you can say it like that) from his versatility at 10 in case of a NTK injury Anyway that's how the choice has been explained by Ugo Mola, Toulouse's headcoach

Leinster fan here. Incredibly nervous. This is an absolute make or break game for this Leinster team. We’ve been in 3 finals since 2019 and lost all 3. A few people from the 2018 team still here, but most of these players have been on the wrong side of history in multiple semis and finals in recent years. If this team wants to be seen as a great team, they simply cannot lose tomorrow. And yet, this Toulouse team are incredible. Head says Toulouse, heart says Leinster.

Not sure I would agree with that if Tolouse aren't ahead in the last 20 minutes they could be trouble. Past recent history shows that Leinster are great starters but struggle finishing if they need to chase the game or have a close lead.

@Driver2616 4 ай бұрын

Instinct tells me that overall, Toulouse have everything that is required to win this game quite comfortably. However, as a committed Leinster fan of long standing, I just think that this year they’ve been pissed off so much at choking in the last two finals that it if Leinster can manage to be ahead going into the last 20 mins, then Toulouse will have to pull something close to extraordinary out of a hat to win it. Dupont has become frustrated and a little raggedy in his play in the past, when they’re chasing a game in the latter stages and if that happens in this game then he’ll make mistakes.

One question for Toulouse is whether the progress we have seen for some young players will translate into this game or is it too soon. Costes, Flament, Meafou, Chocobares and Brennan could be some surprises for Leinster. Toulouse has managed its season with about 55 players; the competition has never been so high. Also people are talking a lot about Dupont but at 100% I consider Ntamack the best 10 in the world.

Its purely my opinion but I think Toulouse have had a much easier path to the final and that might show in the end. Leinster beat La Rochelle twice, Stade Francais, Leicester away and home and the current Premiership table toppers Northampton who are an excellent team, in excellent form. I don't think Toulouse have been asked as many questions by their opponents. Still praying for a Leinster win though.

Heart Says Toulouse, but Head says Leinster. They know how to beat Toulouse and their relentless low risk gameplan is better suited to win this. Now, if Toulouse can stick with the men in Blue and don't get distanced around the 60 th minute, it might get into Leinster's mind and fear of failure might be creeping in. Toulouse is a team that knows how to close a game and win a final.

I might have gone Michael Millane and cormac foley instead shame about Jimmy O’Brien looks to be a victim of lack of game time.
