    Loved the game, even though My team were on the loosing side. It had EVERYTHING. It was clash of styles, systems, regions, cultures and titans. Each never more deserving of being there. Two of the best sets of fans. The spice will merely gave a bit more encouragement to each ensure they are in the rematch next year. Good luck to any who try to get in the way of that.

    As a South African and life long Stormers fan, this last weekend's final is as good as, if not better, than any SR final I have seen. And this includes the Brumbies-Crusaders era of finals, the Sharks-Bulls game, etc.

    Glad to hear you guys talk about the behaviour of the Leinster Machine off the pitch. For years they have not just controlled the ball, the game and the score line but they have controlled the narrative pre and post game in the media, they have controlled the IRFU decisions and as you’ve just pointed out they can actually control the decision as to whether an incident should be replayed on television or in the stadium. With the attitude at the end of and after this game maybe people will start to realise that the Leinster Machine needs a good old service and all the new parts that have been added since the bandwagon started rolling in 2009 need to be removed. The old Leinster fans were amazing, strange accents but great craic, proper Rugby Fans. The new cohort are a different breed. Abuse the opposition team, the opposition fans, the refs and anyone who might come in the way of the win at all costs Leinster Army. I’m not a fan, in case that wasn’t clear 🤣.

      Also glad to the english lads for bringing this out from under the carpet and into daylight. Its refreshing to hear rather than cover ups or silence ...a load of truth in what you're saying @grahamkelliher6688 - about controlling the narrative by many means including the media.its a shock, disgrace, a power attitude when you see it in action and I know firsthand. Its not Leinster club though it our beloved IRFU org. its employees, and its side kicks, some of Ireland coaches - the lengths they'd go to you can't believe - the resources / time they'd spend on it. the coaches polish it up as building team spirit for the players - but its building zero longterm except being bad role models for these young impressionable guys (Respect and behaviour discipline are good values to teach) and when its at the discomfort of others - they're not too bothered in truth it amuses them as don't like themselves or their precious coaches being critisized or challenged by supporters - I get why Leinster put sean o'brien on the Ref's door as ROG is a handful, to try to influence ref, get an edge advantage in a game by any means - Motive always been obvious and it goes beyond winning the double EPCR title . He is vying for a bigger international coaching job longterm - he has never switched off on this. Andy Farrell is staying - period. He can do a Warren Gatland with Wales job on it. ROG should give it a rest, we're tired hearing it

    The role of match officials and especially referees remains overbearing, and this was even truer with Jaco Peyper who was worse than Wayne Barnes last year.
    1. Alldritt illegally slapped the ball from Jamison Gibson-Park, when the TMO did not intervene;
    2. Jimmy O’Brien was wrongly pinged for his aerial challenge, denying Leinster a rare attacking platform in the second period.
    3. Andrew Porter having been pinged for scrummaging “on the angle”, Joel Sclavi wasn’t when helping Tawera Kerr-Barlow win a vital 67th-minute turnover before
    4. Caelan Doris was wrongly penalised when poaching for the ball as Quentin Lespiaucq Brettes dived off his feet.
    5. Cue three lineouts and penalties later (one wrongly against Ronan Kelleher when Sclavi simply fell), to the winning try and yellow card for Ronan Kelleher.

    Jaco Peyper. Why do people still employ this guy as a Rugby Union ref?
    He damages every game he's involved in. Classic saffa.

      You guys just want to blame the ref 😂! Rather than admitting that La Rochelle just outplayed Leinster during those 80 minutes, Leinster played well during 20 minutes. Jaco Peyper has given a lot of freedom to the Leinster players in the ruck during the whole game! But at the end they just last! Bring on 2024! 😂😂😂😂
