Heineken Champions Cup - The Final

[pagliaccio_euforico]

8/23 is 35%.
I've seen the fixture jokingly described as Ireland versus Barbarians.

Leinster has six players born in other hemispheres.

I guess that joke does qualify as a joke?

Am I missing something or is it not 3?

6 are born but only 3 were not raised in Ireland.

3, 6 or 12. My point is that only one team in the final receives criticism for being unfairly powerful (for example from a chairman of a Welsh URC side). And its not the side with the larger budget who are paying top dollar for a large number of foreign internationals.

Pretty sure Leinster have the larger budget according to rumours

4 if you include the Saffa coming over from Munster

7 if you include Skerries, which I would.

Not sure why you would though when he's not in the 23.

In the 23? Frawley and? Are you trying to do western and eastern?

25 degrees and sunny in Marseilles tomorrow. The Irish shouldn't quite wilt in that heat. Particularly in cooling 40mph gusts, meaning Leinster don't get homesick. High balls to Rhule please (looking forward to seeing if he still has his outrageous pace).

Leinster by 17

It's so hot over here today. Sweating my arse off at the Challenge final.

One team receives more criticism mainly because imo their media and certain fans keeps harping on about how great they are.

It's the England affect but at club level.

Craig Doyle has got a good pass on him. Get him in the British Lions team!
