As a connacht fan,I genuinely want to see leinster win the champions cup simply because their an Irish team ,but I would support any of our other provinces if they were in that position.

[@-sj5550]

Yeah, me too! Whatever Province is in the playoffs or Final, I'll support them.

[@DS-ty2nb]

I support all the Irish teams but I am a Munster fan as it’s good for the Irish national team to have four teams doing well than just Leinster

[@kerrylass2]

I think everyone wants that so thats something surely we can all agree on...even if there are different views on how to achieve it..

[@ucanprofit]

As a munster man, I support Leinster as another Irish team

[@Johan-rg3vo]

As I do Munster as a Leinster supporter

[@JD-lz2uq]

Fair play! You’re the exception in Munster, rather than the rule. But it’s admirable. Back when Munster were succeeding I always backed them, when Leinster were no longer in the running

[@joeytoomey9181]

O driscoll is spending too much time in the UK, most rugby fans are over this provincial bias , who wouldn't like to see Doris Furlong Henshaw Conan all win another European title , they give Irish fans so much enjoyment on watching them play , we genuinely hope they do well .

[@eoinh3816]

Monye is definitely one of those TNT pundits anyway. Guy absolutely despises Leinster

[@kevinbarry7893]

Stupid comment by bod. Any irish fan wants any irish team succeed

[@JD-lz2uq]

Not true at all. Also naive

[@hero2342]

Man you need to chat to a few Munster fans lol

[@loftyboi]

I support all the Irish club teams, and typically when they play each other I’m cheering for the underdog. Very happy for Leinster and I hope to see them in the final. BOD has it wrong

[@JD-lz2uq]

He doesn’t have it wrong at all. But it’s good that you support all the Irish clubs. Leinster are not supported, or indeed liked, in the majority of the rest of Ireland, with particular emphasis in Munster. Of late Munster feel overlooked by the IRFU and have been very unhappy with funding and transfers vs Leinster. This is common knowledge amongst their vocal fan base. Leinsters coach has also talked about how it would be nice to be supported in Ireland, outside of the province

[@liamwilliams6651]

The hate from other Irish teams is fair enough, thats how local rivalries should be. What I don't understand is the hatred from teams outside of Ireland. A lot of it seems to stem from the Leinster = Ireland argument as it is somehow unfair but its not Leinsters fault that they are so good that they make up the majority of the Irish team. I don't recall people complaining about the Crusaders when they made up most of the All Blacks side.

[@gavintuesday4959]

Sheer blind jealousy . The IRFU got the contract thing spot on, they promote the 4 provinces to get them to do well. The lads who make the European championship teams are not flogged and forced to play most of their domestic league unlike the England and French who have attritional leagues that involve relegation and promotion

[@bobmorgan6333]

He was part of the side that really kicked off the spite between Leinster and other provinces. Checka was a massive part of it. D'Arcy often admits it. Im a Munster man who held Leinster Season tickets long before i could get regular Munster tickets. The new breed of Leinster supporters are unbearable.

[@Neil1984]

don't worry Bob, the old breed of Munster supporters were equally unbearable and have a huge part in why there is no love for Munster in Leinster anymore. Lansdowne in 2006 was just so incredibly sour, I have never seen more ungracious winners in my life.

[@bobmorgan6333]

So the 06 result in Lansdowne caused it all? I'm not disagreeing with you totally, however you do have to factor in a few things and I'll use your 06 reference as an example. 1) 80% at least, of the ordinary/everyday Munster Supporters couldn't get tickets for that match as from about 03 onwards Munster games were nothing more than Corporate days out for the sponsors and anyone tied to the larger clubs. 2) Immediately after Leinster beat Toulouse in San Sebastian the Media and indeed many in the Leinster camp, by all accounts led by Cheika and Knox, were spouting about how they were going to topple Munster. Rumour has it Cheika started that nonsense immediately after taking over from Kidney. (He had similar pops at Eddie O'Sullivan when the likes of Gleeson wasn't getting a look in). That classic Aussie Sporting mentality obviously crept into the Leinster dressing room and it's quite evident that many in that side thought that Munster had no right to outperform them. Again lots of media to support that statement. The old saying, you can only kick a dog so many times, comes to mind. Let's be honest, before Leinster started reaching quarters and semi's the average attendance at games was poor, that's why Donnybrook was their home ground. When they beat Biarritz in 2000 the place wasn't even half full. Now all you hear at Leinster games are insufferable fools who know nothing about the club or it's history. That's a large part of why they are disliked, and it's across Europe, not just in Ireland. They've become the new Brits.

[@danielokeeffe6358]

Bob, do you think losing 12 out of the last 14 matches contributed? How about not being able to get a sniff of a European QF?

[@NiallFlynn-j3m]

Never thought I'd see the two most pretenscious wankers in the same post

[@JD-lz2uq]

Here they are, more big Leinster fans

[@kieranosullivan5813]

TNT coverage of Leinster is a disgrace

[@coilinflaherty355]

For those who believe this...this is merely brian o'driscol's opinion..doesn't make it fact... Of course the whole of Ireland want to see an irish champion

[@bernieob9577]

I like all 4 teams but leinster is my no1

[@abbieosullivan3349]

Leinster the rugby club with the soccer supporters.

[@hero2342]

I know, right? The nerve of people liking two things at once. Where do they get off??

[@Earscoop]

Man City of rugby

[@gerardbenson1844]

Ask Joe about his past?

[@fionnmckool]

Joe need to drop the anti Leinster crap. He should go back to gaa and soccer punditery

[@MrStevenToast]

Even O'Driscoll doesnt want to see Leinster do so well... Jealous to see them better than when he was there.

[@X12-g4j]

Are you brain dead? 😂

[@JD-lz2uq]

I can hear you Clem Fandango, but this is simply not true

[@hero2342]

In a comment section full of god awful opinions you have somehow produced the worst one. Fair play.
