As a South African, Peyper has always been an amazing ref in my eyes but he had an absolute shocker in this game... He single-handedly nearly costed La Rochelle is this final. I'm glad justice was served in the end. Some of the Leinster antics at the breakdown and the maul situations were super, super sketchy...
Well said
This was a bad game for Peyper. Leinster got away with many many yellow cards.
Strangely I thought Peyper had a very good game. Sad that Sexton is such a poor sportsman and had to behave in such a disgusting manner, he was lucky to get away with a three game ban.
Thats Leinstertainment for you
I didn't think Peyper did much wrong there. It's a pity cards needed to be shown but we must expect them now at the top end of the highest club tournament ever to be played. Peyper has been a good ref. Now he is an assistant coach
Honestly when I saw the scoreline and Leinster leading 17-0 at 15min with a yellow card for la Rochelle I was like "yey ok let's turn the tv off already..." Rugby is a fantastic sport! Glad I've choose the stick in front of my screen to witness this great game ! 👍
Fantastic sport but 75% of who plays at that level will be a cabbage when they are older from CTE lol 🥬🧠
@@ABC-dw7pe Nothing ventured, nothing gained
@@ABC-dw7pe lol?? You scum.
Tout à fait d accord avec vous au bout de 15 minutes j ai éteint ma radio et ensuite quelle surprise !!! Quel match énorme !!!
I didn't just think that I actually turned off the TV and went out gardening. Missed a great game.
Best club team on the planet. To come to Dublin, go 17 nil down and do what they did in the 2nd half. I’ve never seen a more impressive Heineken cup final victory. From a Leinster fan. Congratulations La Rochelle. Thoroughly deserved.
Thanks friend. Both teams deserved to win. There were 2 Champions in the field. Hope France and Ireland will meet again in the RWC final. Good luck !
Crusaders are still the best club team
Best team 😂😂😂😂
In easy championship 😉
Top 14 is clearly hardest, you must be win for be qualifying in Europe, and the Brennus is clearly more important for a french team than european cup.
Would be nice if we could have a world club championship so we could actually find out who the best team is wouldn’t it.
Only in the NH lol
Félicitations au Stade Rochelais de la part d'un Leinster fan, you did to us what we did to Northampton in 2011. Hard to be on the other end, but what an entertaining match! The passion and determination from both teams was incredible. The best international test game of rugby this year between us and now the best club game.
On te verras dans le finale de la coupe du monde j'espère! Vivre la France et L'Irlande! ☘🇫🇷
Ireland vs France in the RWC final would be great. Both teams deserve to win. Of course, as a French, I would be happy for a victory for France, but I would heartily congratulate the Irish if they were the winners. This Irish team is superb and brilliant, it would be a magnificent champion.
Thank you for the words in French. Always appreciated. It was close and epic.
Classy reaction mate, cant wait to sée you hère in France, Irish fans are Always lovely and welcomed in france
Hi thanks,but you're wrong, a beautiful aberration from IRB, a world cup draw 2 years before the competition and the world n°1 and 2 will meet in the QUARTER FINAL 🙈🙈🙈 or semi final
@@fredericjaumotte2838 c'est possible que nous pouvons nous retrouver au finale, si nous sommes chaqu'un premiers des groups. On peut toujours rêver!
First and foremost, congratulations to ROG and La Rochelle as an Irishman, the best team in Europe and have been the last 2 years, incredible team, incredible coach, incredible organization. Well deserved winners and going to Dublin to face Leinster is a daunting task, they had their plan and executed it brilliantly.
Hard luck to Leinster, brilliant effort but sadly there is a lot to address. It's worrying that the majority of the players who will make up the Ireland side for the world cup were out there tonight and again they failed at the final hurdle. Bullied physically like they have been for several years now. It isnt acceptable and frankly Leinster have been serious underachievers in recent years. 1 european cup in the last decade with the squad they have is a poor return. In addition, the plan for resting players for these big games is continuing to fail. Someone said it perfectly on another video, to win a world cup you need to play at least 3/4 big games back to back to back, and this Leinster side keep being unable to do that. Something has to change plain and simple. And sadly, like ive said the last 3/4 years, I think some Leinster fans need to turn the arrogance down a lot, the sad truth is Leinster, while still being a very good side, are not the unbeatable team some of their fans think they are.
Brilliantly put.
I couldn't believe the over excitement shown by so many over Lancaster. English fans tried to warn you.
He's not a winner.
Absolutely everything was lined up for Leinster to win that this spilled over into the fans with a sense of entitlement. Being allowed to play every game at home is a disgrace, not Leinster's fault but ultimately I think harmed them. These guys are serious players but UTTERLY pampered. When it comes to it I think they lack a hard edge.
Ireland will be a serious outfit come the WC but all boats rise with the tide so they will be tested far more than they're used to. Gonna be great.
It certainly took pure class to come back in the second half against Leinster in Landsdowne Road. Viva La Rochelle. Slainte.
@@dazeng4633 That`s a bit harsh on Lancaster in all fairness. Ireland will learn more from this loss than any win in preparation for WC in 5 months time. France will be well up for it too, that`s for sure, at home!
Battle hardened team against a Leinster team that are used to teams lying down against them ! How many of there starting team has played a urc game in South Africa? Most of them are never experience real pressure
Nice mate and Ireland are not gonna make the final there tournament ends if they make the quarters because the all blacks will end that for them peaked too soon all blacks havent
en tant que toulousain je suis un peu jaloux du coeur qu'a montré cette équipe de la rochelle et avec quel talent elle a réussi à dominer une équipe de leinster en pleine confiance.
il ne faut pas minimiser l'extraordinaire performance de cette équipe, d'aller gagner là bas, dominer les irlandais 3 ans de suite, aller chercher 2 titres européens consécutifs. savourez comme il se doit les rochelais!
Leur pack te concasse n'importe quelle équipe, c'est dingue...
Respect for La Rochelle. What a game, what a team... Win againts Leinster @ Aviva, it's insane 😱😱😱
3 last matchs La Rochelle-Leinster = 3 victories for La Rochelle... What else?
no…it is just superior talent
Close game, surely the best final I've ever watched. So happy for french rugby and my city !

@Tim Madro You made me laugh 😂
Tim Mado, You forgot D. Ryan...a bigger part of La Rochelle today than you realise. Ryan a second Irishman?
Stade Rochelais' forwards are so strong that they lifted Skelton at least 3 times to catch a line-out.
Congrats La Rochelle, what a team!
Ce Stade Rochelais est insubmersible ! Quelle magnifique victoire ! Bravo à toute l'équipe, il faut toujours y croire ! 🏆🇫🇷
Congratulations for both teams for this amazing finale. Now La Rochelle is officially the bogey team of Leinster Rugby. As they never lost against them!
Legendary La Rochelle. What a rugby club, 3 champions cup finals in a row.
Can't beat the Crusaders record 6 in a row

Well done to whoever edited this for giving away who won before watching. Watching highlights from southern hemisphere and was trying to avoid knowing the result.
Great to see Lá Rochelle win. 🎉🎉
Belle victoire de La Rochelle . Ils ont vraiment été très forts pour gagner ce duel au sommet.
Par contre le début de match.. je me suis dit ça va être long... et Peyper qui nous fait une Barnes en 1ere mi temps..
par contre les irish ils ont un totem d'immunité pour le jeu au sol ?
@@Pratimoksha Oui, vous avez raison . et si l'arbitre faitune barnes trop longtemps alors pas moyen de gagner. Je suis content pour La Rochelle et O' GARRA .
My analysis as a French supporter is that Leinster showed their main flaws in this match, they are a team that does not have sufficient physical intensity in the total duration of a match. For me, it is a team that plays a lot but in very short and short durations, beyond a certain number of game phases if it does not manage to take points then it gets bogged down and exposes itself to the opponent. La Rochelle is the nemesis of this team, it's the only one that can counter the Irish province, because the La Rochelle club has a game precisely built on long-term physical intensity.
I think that La Rochelle "voluntarily" left the first half to Leinster, making sure not to be too far behind in points and then setting up a trap in the second half by counting on the drop in physical energy of Leinster.
Second flaw of this Irish team and which is part of the trap of La Rochelle, Leinster has no game plan B, it only relies on a plan A but if it does not work then the Leinstermen will meet a lot of difficulty. This team does not benefit from any adaptability. And we saw it in the second half, the La Rochelle team totally dominated in the occupation of the field and in possession of the ball and Leinster absolutely no longer knew how to play correctly.
"As an Irish supporter", I agree with everything you said, except for this "I think that La Rochelle "voluntarily" left the first half to Leinster, making sure not to be too far behind in points and then setting up a trap in the second half by counting on the drop in physical energy of Leinster."
This quote to me tells me that you aren't being objective. La Rochelle were taken by surprise at Leinsters speed in the first half, and it took them making a change at the half time to come back. The idea that La Rochelle set up a trap means that you have no idea what you are talking about as a rugby "analyst" and don't understand how they operate as a team. Due to their pack size, and style of play, La Rochelle are not used to defending "weird" set plays like the first lineout with Jack Conan catching the ball on foot. This play style caught them off guard. But they adapted, and extremely well. They new that if they slowed the Leinster ball down, they would win the game and they did.
also no team is ever going to attempt something that risky during a championship final, trying to setup a trap.
We need to acknowledge when we are bad and we need to acknowledge when the opposition are good. Otherwise you're sounding like a fan boy.
@@kieranthompson8103 Agree with you mate... what surprised me (as a Toulouse fan, who supported La Rochelle of course) was the player's faces: when Leinster was hammering them, they didn't look too worried, I remember a moment when the camera was on them and Danty seemed to be joking with a team-mate, like "yeah, it's a really good game... let's score points in a few minutes, shouldn't we?" I mean, obvisously the guys didn't just hand over points to Leinster, they were beaten fair and square during the first moments of the game, but the confidence in these men... wow
Congratulations to La Rochelle, coming from behind 2 years in a row to win the title is special.
Leinster can be proud as well as reaching the Champions Cup final 2 years in a row is no small feat.
Better luck next time.
La Rochelle needs a Top 14 title though, possibly this year?
Wishing the best to the LR player who got knocked out at the end.
it's very difficult to win H cup and top 14 the same year !
As Romain explained it, it's almost impossible to win both HCup and Top14 the same year.
And as a Toulouse fan, I hope we will beat La Rochelle in Top14 final 😂

@@frenchflair7699 c'est possible, mais franchement pour tout le bonheur que La Rochelle nous offre je crois qu'elle mérite aussi le bouclier, même si j'adore Toulouse..

On aurait pu répondre physiquement et accélérer quand il l'aurait fallu... Faudra qu'on m'explique un jour pourquoi il a fait ça 😢
What a team! European champions two times in a row! Congratulations, Stade Rochelais! Any other team would have been crushed after a start like that! This is big!!
What a game, what an atmosphere. Everyone was shocked when Leinster went into 17-0 lead after 12 mins. The only wrinkle was hitting the post in exactly same fashion while trying to convert.
La Rochelle kept the faith and what an ending.
A 0-17 après 12 minutes, chez l'adversaire, soutenu par 50 000 fans, et avec un carton jaune, tu te dis c'est pas possible (même avec la carte kiwi), le cochon est dans le maïs, c'est foutu. Mais les mecs ont su garder la tête froide et les idées claires. Et les mouches ont changé d'âne assez rapidement finalement. Dès l'essai de Danty, les Leinsteriens ont commencé à douter car ils ont vu que pour les Rochelais, le match n'était pas fini. La seconde période a été passée dans le camp irlandais et à force de coups de boutoir, la cabane est tombée sur le chien.
Bravo le Stade Rochelais, immense champion d'une compétition où, rappelons-le, les clubs Sud-Africains participaient pour la première fois.
En parlant de Sud-Africain, il faut noter l'arbitrage ahurissant de Jacob Peyper, qui en voulant favoriser le jeu, a laissé faire au delà du raisonnable en permettant aux joueurs de plonger dangereusement dans les mêlées ouvertes et n'a pas sifflé les nombreuses entrées sur le côté des Leinsteriens, leur jeu au sol et leurs nombreuses positions de hors jeu. Il a fini par les sanctionner d'un carton jaune à 10 minutes de la fin après de multiples actions d'anti-jeu alors que côté LAR, Kerr-Barlow a pris un jaune dès sa première faute.
Tout était prévu et organisé pour un sacre de Leinster, mais La Rochelle a dit non.
Bravo les Maritimes, vous êtes les meilleurs (de la part d'un Toulousain).
oui, mais à 14-23 je me suis dit presque que c'était OK, seulement 9 pts à remonter, et connaissant la Rochelle et sur une mi-temps encore à jouer...
@@rolandzarka5191 Ouais ben t'avais raison, bravo. Moi, connaissant les arbitres sud-afs (oui je sais c'est même pas les pires), et voyant que cette racaille ne sifflait que 10% des fautes irlandaises, je me suis dit que c'était mort. Mais les irlandais l'ont tellement énervé, à toujours contester, réclamer, lever les bras au ciel sur chaque regroupement, qu'ils ont fini par le retourner contre eux, ces cons 😂🤣👏🥳.
Incroyable !! Bravo La Rochelle, de la part d'un Charentais !! C'est terrible pour le Leinster, mais c'est ce qui fait la beauté du rugby !!
Wow, with the game situation what it was after 20mins I thought to myself that this could be a 50pointer in a final. The show of character by La Rochelle was absolutely epic.
Congratulations to La Rochelle. They played a blinder in the second half. Leinster on the other hand choked big time. To go 17-0 up at home in a Final and then absolutely collapse in the second half is unforgivable at this level. Outmuscled again by a superior pack for the fifth year in a row. Beating Dragons, Edinburgh and Zebre by 50 points means nothing when Leadership and bench players cost you 2 metres out from opponents line at 78 min. Best team won
La Rochelle pack of forwards is intimidating. Reminds me of the 2009-2011 Blue Bulls or Georgia in the Six Nations B.
Almost impossible to defend against after long periods.
Well done to both teams for the entertaining show and hope the injured 🤕 player is felling better and takes his time to return to the game.
Congratulations to the French team and fans!
For the injured player La Rochelle said he was going well today on Twitter 😊
you beat the Irish national team on their hostile ground, La Rochelle simply amazing and incredible!!!
Malkolm Dz, That is a stupid comment. It is also not the truth. Some, how many I do not know, Leinster "fans" have been making the same stupid claim for the past several years. I, on a few occasions, have pointed out the arrogance of these idiots. They are a disgrace to their province, to Irish rugby and to rugby in general. You have joined these idiots by repeating the same idiocy to sore a barb.
It's not the national team.

I heart the commentators in another game say he's the best halfback in the world that doesn't currently play internationally.

@@Trajan2401 unlike New Zealand, Australia has a policy of picking overseas players..his opportunity may have been probable when Dave Rennie WAS coach but what could hamper Kerr-Barlow Oz debut is the 3 player limit..2 of those position are locked in, an outside back or a forward of experience have the inside running to secure 3, a new coach in Eddie Jones, is cause for doubt,, their half-back stocks have depth & he has not played test rugby since 2017..injury to an accomplished 9 may see the Melbourne born Ocker getting the oi oi oi come here..

What a game! Well done La Rochelle! Beating Leinster 3 times in a row..in 2 finals! Leinster will now have an inferiority complex when they will play La Rochelle…
ROG, the Munsterman, said Leinster didn’t respect La Rochelle during the captains presentation…it cost them dear…
ROG s a genius!
‘In ROG we trust’
If Meafou can play the world cup with France....he could be the will Skelton of our French national team 😮
Boys against men in the second half, its worrying for the RWC we didnt even see any action in the LAR territory in the 2nd half until the last 2 mins where we shouldve drop goaled it.
LAR fully deserved it and I shook LAR fans hands respect to you 👏
I was thinking that Leinster should’ve gone for a drop goal with about 5 mins to go. You never know how long the opportunity is going to be there for. Poor game management by them
@sumboi2321 78 min was an opportunity. My only guess is , the big men of LAR would've steam rolled us as they were doing all 2nd half and the LEI guys were afraid if a counter try happening ? But I difress , have no clue why Byrne didn't go for it 😕
They could not get into position. It’s not easy to disguise a drop goal.
La Rochelle are crazy big.
Thanks Dude 😉
So happy for this team 💛🖤
Congrats on the GREAT comeback win
Well done La Rochelle. Ref bottled first half, Leinster flying into rucks all day (off feet) without being penalised. Basically the Irish team got schooled by a French club team at home.
QF exit at WC for Ireland again.
Bravo et félicitation au stade Rochelais, l'équipe de ROG a bien géré ce match contre cette redoutable armée du Leinster.
Bravo la rochelle secound victories in a row and the third finals in a row im proud of this team
La Rochelle shows how important it is to stay calm, let the storm pass and believe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Looks like Leinster made the same mistake as last year: once they have the lead, they settle for 3 points penalties instead of going for a try.
Isn't insanity defined as "repeating over the same thing and expecting a different result"? Really sad because they have such a great team.

Doesn’t surprise me
Ici ici c'est la Rochelle.... Fiere d'être rochelais 🎉🎉🎉 fiere de ma ville
What a great match. La Rochelle showed why they are the best club in Europe.
i've noticed that often when some teams score heavily right from the start of the game... it seems to quell their lust and energy to score more points during the rest of the game
I think what also happens is you then start to defend that lead. So you defend more rather then attack. Attack is the best form of defence
Great game between 2 superb teams. Unsportsmanlike behaviour from the crowd. Shame on them.
Bravo aux 2 équipes et vive le Rugby 🏉❤, quel sport ...

A wonderful match from both teams. That's why we love rugby. Nobody would have bet on the victory of La Rochelle after his catastrophic 20 minutes at the beginning in the first half.
One of the games of the decade. Hard luck Leinster but well done La Rochelle! 💚💚💙💙Now off to the World Cup!
Mais quel retour ! quel mental !bravo les Champions 🎉
La Rochelle against Ireland ! Félicitation pour votre rage de vaincre après les 10 premières minutes à souffrir

C'est mérité, profitez, éclatez vous. Toute la France est jaune et noire 💛🖤💛🖤
From france .Congratulations to the two teams. It was a grand finale. I hope La Rochelle will finally have the respect it deserves. In France they are also lacking in respect because La Rochelle has not yet won the Brenus. I'm a little sorry for the Leinster but in sport the efforts will end up paying.
Thats INSANE MATCH!
Such an improbable scenario made for a great game. ROG must be doing something right to be in 3 consecutive finals, and hasn't LR beaten Leinster 3 times in its run?
3 years in a row, semis and 2 finals. sporting paternity
LR lost one match in three years in this competition, one final. And have the record of invincibility atm at 15.
Ici, ici, c'est La Rochelle ! 🎶
From leinster fan it was deserved. They didn’t get discouraged by the first half at all
Un très beau match de rugby. Merci aux deux équipes. Vive La Rochelle!
Rog the legend.
One of the best final in rugby history ❤️
La Rochelle just pure class. Leinster are chokers.
if 6 nations could pitch top 2 ranked teams to play on last weekend game changer! LEI /Irish are 80% 1 team compared to slow french start ! not to take away from irish win just getting best cash for fans!
Bravo les gars, top du top :)..bravo La Rochelle :)...La meilleure équipe a gagné :) et quel match :).
Absolute belter of a final
Geez. Imagine the season that Leinster had. Probably a +/- 95% win rate and nothing to show for it. For 2 years in a row.
Great start as always for Leinster, but I think what we have seen in this match and against Munster is that when teams that play against Leinster stay in the game , they can upset the Leinster machine..
just to be critical, James Lowe is overrated, yes packs a long kick, and is fast but that’s just about it..Potter is a penalty machine at the scrum, never carries into contact.
Leinster players were so focused on the Ref, questioning decisions , with hands up at every ruck, yet they were diving into the ruck.. Leinster are a great team but I think this tactic of resting the internationals and only playing them in the bigger games has also gotten into their head. .. Gibson park arguing with Ref, for example. Sexton apparently had a go at the Ref in the tunnel. Hopefully from here onwards they will respect the URC and play full strength teams , so that they are ready for such games. Congratulations to ROG and his team.
Perfect Championship rugby. It should never be easy.
Très beau match de La Rochelle et du Leinster, félicitations à La Rochelle
Un match de fou La Rochelle on est là 💛🖤
Leinster men were constantly diving in rucks. madness they managed to lose whilst having the ref on their side all game long
I’ve said that for two years, it’s now classic Irish game play, glad it didn’t pay off this time, I’m sure they’ll get away with it at RWC.
They are so overrated, hoping the RWC will teach them some humility
So much salt 😂😂😂
That's the way they won the last 6 nations indeed. Aggressive for sure, but outside rugby rules. The condescension of the referees is totally incomprehensible
@@maxg.8039 it’s comprehensible but not acceptable.

I'm so glad I stayed up to 4am to watch this, what a game!
Are you in Australia ?
All we heard the whole season was how Ireland intends on exacting revenge on La Rochelle
I bet the atmosphere at that game was electric and if you were there, you wish you could have bottled it....... oh wait, Leinster already have 😂😂
Well Malmo -you weren't there so obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Great game between two very good teams 👏
Great game of rugby and a great atmosphere at the stadium too
What a come back !
Hahaha those Irish are all about ‘respecting the kicker’ until the game is on the line!
First time I've heard the irish boo the kicker. Tension was high lol
I noticed that. A bunch of kids booed Sexton at Murrayfield and they tried to play the typical victimhood card. diplomatic incident. fast forward to today when the games on the line
Right !!
Absolute deisgrace
Munster would never do that
To have a good match, you need two good teams and that's what we had the chance to see !
I particularly liked Leinster's first try, a very, very nice combination that left everyone on the spot, instead of ROG and Donnacha RYAN, I'll save it for later...
It's true that everyone saw us losing, playing a match against the "best team" at the moment, in front of thousands of supporters and millions of Irish people, in front of their television sets...it's just magic, thanks to both teams for having made us live a moment of great intensity.
Pour faire un beau match, il faut deux belles équipes et c'est bien ce que nous avons eu la chance de voir !
J'ai aimé particulièrement le premier essais du Leinster, très très belle combinaison qui a laissée tout le monde sur place, à la place de ROG et Donnacha RYAN , je la garde pour plus tard...
C'est vrai que tout le monde nous voyait perdre , jouer un match contre la "meilleure équipe" à l'heure actuelle , de surcroit chez elle devant des milliers de supporters et des millions d'Irlandais devant leurs postes de télévision...c'est juste magique, merci aux deux équipes de nous avoir fait vivre un moment de grande intensité.
Well said Marc. Merci
I wonder why everyone thought it was a David v Goliath match...
Anyone watching rugby in recent year knew that it was a Goliath v Goliath match, and a 50/50 winning probability. Leinster, despite being excellent, is overestimated because of the score they put due to their attacking strategy. But doesn't mean they are miles better. Today I just watched a match where the best team won
Congratulations to La Rochelle 💛🖤
What I meant is that a lot of people thought you'd win !

@@looweeee Relax in France, the prognosis was in favor of Leinster not La Rochelle! Simply because of the beating they gave to Stade Toulousain!
Only a small handful of irreducible Gauls supported my club.
Mean final,getting smashed early on, then to fight back for the win, and as an away team to top it off. Few dramas but there expected or else no one will have nothing to argue about, good to see Barlow and Gibson play well, good seeing kiwi born players doing us proud. 😊😊😊
Bravo des champions, la France est fière de vous 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🧘🏾♂️🧘🏾♂️🧘🏾♂️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Massive congrats, La Rochelle!
This is a victory not just for La Rochelle, but for European rugby, and rugby in general.
Leinster are a team with an insane budget, state support (post-career player tax refunds), and roster worth of three teams. They played at home every step of the way in the playoffs, having every conceivable advantage in their favor. They disrespected the URC all season long, sending 2nd, or 3rd strings outfits to do the hard work for the designated blue nobility. The fact, that they’ve got nothing to show for this season is just divine justice.
For me personally, this is such a delight. La Rochelle are my favorite French club, and I stuck with them through some lean years. On the other side, Leinster are probably my second most disliked team, trailing behind the Saracens alone by hair’s breadth. This was a battle between the good and evil, and for once, the good guys won. Wait, it was for the second time in a row!
Massive congrats to ROG, to whom this ought to be the sweetest of victories. Legendary player, legendary coach.
La Rochelle Victory is a mix of everything. Résilience, Heart, strategy, forwards, adversity. They had everything against them: stadium, Travel, crowd, ref, hometown organisation... But they showed that Rugby is a sport where the best on the pitch is winning.
Leinster and Ireland fans were taught a Big lesson of humility here. This 'give us the trophy' attitude, lack of honesty and lack of respect towards french players, clubs and O'gara severely backfired and it's not finished...
Leinster is still a formidable unit, but their fans are the worst of this sport, sorry, but it had to be said..
French, SA, scot and nz staffs certainly all watched this match of 'Ireland' with interest. It could lead to big consequences in september.
Brilliantly put. Been a bunch of gobshites since their moment in the sun.
Thank's. Ireland is such loved by french poeple.
What a befitting final!!
What a comeback by La Rochelle ! 17-0, 3 tries for the Blue men in 11 minutes, I was thinking ''no way, is Leinster going to put 50 points !?”
Congrats to both team.
This final reminds me of the Leinster-Northampton Saints.
La Rochelle were simply brilliant. Everything was against them and setup for a Leinster victory; it felt like even the organisers and media were taking the match as a guaranteed outcome. Certainly the biased Irish commentatprs were. Arrogant Leinster fans had this coming. I love the smell of hubris in the morning. I reckon ROG has noted and dislikes the Leinster self-love too, if the team was chocolate it would eat itself. Until Leinster learn some humility they will go on losing these finals.
was Leinster playing their 3rd team in this final?
Quel match ! La Rochelle EXCEPTIONNEL ! (en partie grâce à son adversaire qui les a poussés dans leurs derniers retranchements)
Pour commencer les 2 équipes ont été très bonnes il y a eu de bonnes actions avec de beaux essais... Il faut un vainqueur et un vaincu le principal c'est que ça a été un super match.🇫🇷 🇮🇪 🍻🏉🏆
Well done La Rochelle!!!
La Rocky 🥊🟡⚫

Enorme performance. Quel exploit de La Rochelle !
