@@michaelmoynihan9591 He's a kid how can he be over rated? I don't think anyone is saying anything other than he's very promising. A mature kicking game takes time and experience but he has all the skill
Eh no. Anyone with any knowledge of rugby can see he is a natural. Even the way he play makes with the ball in the middle of the field picking the right pass. Injuries aside it seems clear he will be a superstar.
Some Leinster lads asking why Cullen didn't start or pick them in the 23 last week; Conan, Frawley, O'Brien, Prendergast. Harry Byrne confirming why he was excluded.
If only played like this in London, jimmy o brien great player with serious pace, conan looks a different player this week, connacht not same level as toulouse of course but leinster had lots of energy and intensity which was sadly lacking last week, munster man here but rooting for the blues last week
Seems to be the usual story with us in finals, don’t ever play our usual attacking game , dare I say if prendergast started would we have been more clinical ?
@daviiidoff He looks good, attacking no 10 as well. The forwards were pretty good last week, but the backline needs some serious rebuilding, Lowe, henshaw, keenan and lamour and others just not good enough when there needed most, that's how it looked last week, even jgp diddnt have his best, good in defence but he offered nothing in attack why was very strange
@@eddiemcloughlin3200 100% agree, forwards did their job but the backs let us down big time. Think we missed ringrose a lot, Lowe doesnt show up in the big finals as weve seen over the years, keenan is dodgy too.. thought larmour was good, kickchase and defensively bar their try when he got caught out
@@zorba4166 In general I agree with you, but in this instance take a look at it before you automatically reply that. At the moment of the pass, Jennings has been in front of the passer in an offside position for a while. And he's just standing there. Based on that, it must be a forward pass.
@@zorba4166play it at .25 speed. It's forward from the hands. The winger is a really standing in front of him and gives him no choice it's poor play from him.
I new not letting Jimmy o Brian into the Toulouse game was a mistake and JFV on the beach. Player of the world and Ireland. Blame of that loss lies with Leo alone..
With that starting leinster team connacht should have been much better,at least challenging for a win.i support leinster followed by connacht but they were pure muck last night
Did not look like they had gotten of the bus , so much for their Leinster coaching staff, sextons attack was pathetic, Varys defence was clueless, both should be returned to sender asap
Yeah, it's unfair on Connacht a lil that we gotta play the other Irish provinces so much, on the other hand, you're playing the best so u improve consequently but u need points, we're only 8% of population......If only we had Caelen the Connacht man. Devine looks serious quality but the usual will come to bite as it does for the others too, central contracts
Yeah the population imbalance in the provinces does muck things up. If you had to start from scratch you'd redraw the provinces, but then you'd have artificial regions and that didn't exactly work out well in Wales. No easy solution that I can think of offhand.
@@harshbutfair8993 maybe the IRFU could put more money into the Connacht academy system. I've not lived in Ireland for a while, how is the GAA in Connacht doing?
I mean, Connacht aren’t even that bad. Missing Hansen and Aki here, and they were on the edge of making a quarter final this season. For a small island nation like Ireland to have four competitive teams in the URC is actually kind of amazing.
Your first sentence was the correct part. Difference between last week and this was Toulouse had an awesome defence, Connacht, well you basically said it yourself. As a Munster man who was cheering for Leinster last week, I think Stephen Ferris was right, and he's basically saying what many Leinster fans have been saying, at the business end of the competition, you need to be getting your big players out playing more, and also have clear competition for places. Molony was jettisoned for Ryan, who probably wasn't quite ready for such a big game. And maybe a few others weren't in the 23 who were more battle hardened and probably should have been.
Easy to perform when the team in front doesn't have any defense. They were doing everything the same with speed and physicality against Toulouse, with all of their best players, but Toulouse's defense was something else, like someone else mentioned above
@@gordondarker4073 you need consistency to win trophies- Munster, Ulster and Connacht all play generally the same teams week in week out… Munster won the league last year
Should have played the b team last week they might have won. Another season without a trophy for the best team in Europe! ! Cullen trying emulate Kieran mc geeney in Armagh ten years without a trophy ! I think he will succeed
Prendergast looks class
Well overrated. Too much kicking away good possession. Really unpredictable player.?
On a good day yeah. He just needs more game time and he’ll definitely be up there
@@michaelmoynihan9591 He's a kid how can he be over rated? I don't think anyone is saying anything other than he's very promising. A mature kicking game takes time and experience but he has all the skill

Forget about “super” rugby. These tries are sensational
😂😂😂😂😂😂 They literally look like normal tries.
the defence is no existent
Send Ross Byrne to Connacht ffs
@@Hometruths29Jack Carty.
Sam Prendergast hugely remind me of Johnny Sexton...
They’ve been saying that for a few years now…
He's similar to Sexton in many ways but faster and a better athlete.
I hope they think about giving Sam much more time next year and forget about him going to Connacht.
Leinster took the sword to them.
Could have been more

as long as it's not a final you can count on a Leinster win
2:22 that pass was forward, 100%.
Backwards from the hands , you guys should really go have a look at the rule book before rushing to comment forward pass forward pass..

Who?
Ireland rugby classy
3 in a row....
Where was James Lowe, Gibson Park, Sheehan ?
Rested.
@@wot4922 too bad, Leinster is not that strong without them
@@ytevysbhtbthey were plenty strong to win this game
@@ItsBellers maybe, but it's still not the same imo
Sheehan came on, got a try.
Kind of shows what is wrong with Irish Rugby, provincial match need to be more competitive

I'm not sure how it should be done, but I think Connacht needs more support. The system is very lopsided at the moment.

😂so funny to see Leinster still trying knowing they'll just lose in the knock outs
Leinster win, HOWEVER IT WAS AFTER "THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW" SO TO SPEAK!!
YOU DIG ?? !!!!
Just shows the gap between connacht and the rest of the provences. If this proformance was last week it would have been a different result.

Leinster played better last week the defence of Toulouse was just better you don’t know what your own about
Leinster need to stop fielding two separate teams maybe then you’ll win a cup lol
That was said the last few seasons but leo didn't listen
Agreed
@@paulnash5500 also wouldn't say the league is an issue stragity and tactics still using pro12,14 ones needs updating
So you leave 20other players on the bench , you have to rotate

@@titranexand the ref
Not a hope they are the best team in Europe
Most consistent team sure, but best? Toulouse have that one over us this year unfortunately
How does them winning by a big margin mean they have no chance winning the title? Didn't Cullen already win it 4 times?
Jackman stuttering and spluttering through the commentary, mightnt be his gig.
