Heineken Cup 2022/23: Quarter Finals

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

God I hope you're righr

Even performance aside the injuries are pretty costly looking

 

[big ginger 8]

Irish pundits will laud over Leinster but boy they will struggle against the other teams
Same as last season, Tigers pack honestly kept Leinster at bay pretty well and the other teams packs are bigger with better backs

Cope

Cope

Maybe I called the same thing last year and it happened.
I wait to be called wrong on the day.

And let's be real it's going to be on the back of every Leinster supporters mind

I've heard Jimmy O'Brien is deeply racist. Don't ask me my source, just trust me bro. Know someone who saw him shoving an Inuit into a pond

 

[West Country Wail]

Turning over to the Challenge Cup as that match is close.

Great shout

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I've heard Jimmy O'Brien is deeply racist.

That explains his firm friendship with Mack Hansen

'Send them Mack' Hansen to his friends I hear

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Very just winners obviously though today.
Hopefully full houses with more notice for the Semi final

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

10 is the issue this year now. If we had Johnny we'd be watertight.

Still reckon coming to Dublin and beating us is as big a challenge as club rugby will throw at you.

Tigers definitely took advantage of a backrow without a 7. Reckon Baird in the row and Doris, Penny, Conan would have been far more effective.

True the final last year in Ireland prob would've given Leinster their 5th star

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Said it before but Martin should be starting for England his carries and defence is insane today

Yep.

Apart from one low ball to the front I can barely recall him in the line out though. Is that part of his game good enough?

You usually want your Johnny to be watertight.

If it was a world cup quarter final yesterday do you think Sexton would have played?

He had surgery like two weeks ago

He very recently had surgery, so no.

In an honest response to this. I am not super confident in us especially with Ross leading to a massive step down in incision. But it's absolutely hyperbole to say we'll struggle against the other teams. We are a bit dependant on how some of the injuries come back but people seem to forget we dismantled Toulouse's pack last year and were leading the final until late on last year. I think our pack this year is better than last year's and we also have home advantage the rest of the way.

No guarantees of anything but if we lose hard to see it not being a close run thing.

 

[big ginger 8]

Looks like this game will be fun.

 

[Gavin]

That literal kick pass from Ramos

 

[big ginger 8]

Ridiculous pace but definitely forward.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The swerve and speed boost was

I would say it deserves a try but Ramos is POS so I won't shed any tears

 

[IT157]

This game is high quality so far. But that looks forward.
