Champions Cup final thread

Too many mistakes. This team finds it very difficult to get over the line.

Dupont a big game player unlike any of ours in green.

I think he has been inconsistent with some of his calls. A yellow for Lowes knock on but the same action by Toulouse player went unpunished.

But the losing of the game definitely hasn't been down to the ref. Leinster were out thought by Toulouse.

Leo Cullen a bit clueless in all this !

Burkie1203

THat was knocked on

testtech05

Not sure how that wasn't a knock on Leinster just haven't got into it in this half at all

Gusser09

crowley 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Weepsie

Too many points left out on the pitch. Chances to take 3 left behind. Pragmatism out the door. Going for the corner was not working. Didn't work the entire match until they had a man advantage.

Same as Ireland, in knockout football you need to be taking those points and Toulouse did that the whole game

Dubinusa

There it is! Serial underachieving! Again! Leo probably should look to move on. This side is clueless.

It’s incredible that this could be the third season in a row Leinster win nothing. At a certain point, surely Cullen needs to go.

joseywhales

All I can say is they should have played frawley at ten more

patob

Horrendous game management and decision making, Leo has to answer some hard questions.

Clegg

Leinster had all of the momentum going into the second half of extra time.

Just can't understand how they didn't capitalise.

And kickable as often as not.

Do we need to acknowledge that Leinster and indeed Ireland have a problem with winning *big* games?

Sickening today. We just don't seem to perform in these make or break games at the top level.

Odelay

Game handed to them by the ref, against 14 men and they still bottled it. 🤣

VeryOwl

Leo needs to move on. This is now an undeniable legacy of underachievement. Coaches botched it today.

joseywhales

He so much **** better than byrne

AbusesToilets

Choked away yet again, Toulouse well worth their win

KaneToad

Not sure Doris is captain material. He's a fine player but we consistently made the wrong calls.

Leinster lack

1. A bruising lock or loosie
2. A top class 10

Cullen has run his race. Too often the nearly man. Trying to get Toulouse down to 13 on a technicality is a bit poor form too.

In other surprising news yet another final has a red card and Dupont named motm. Willis was excellent

Agreed. And Toulouse were superb at disrupting our maul.

I think Ringrose was a huge loss here. His brains and vision would have made a difference.

Gusser09

Tolouse.

Champions of ireland, england and france.

Lovely jubilee

eagle eye

Too many mistakes, feel sorry for all the Leinster fans. I wanted them to win.

I was in Croke Park and the end of that game worried me. The mistakes have continued since. I'm not sure why that suddenly happens, maybe it's a new sports psychologist they need but they need some change for sure . They have too much talent for this to happen again.

awec

Leinster their own worst enemy today, between stupid decisions and stupid penalties.

Jack Daw

Shambolic performance from Leinster in the second half of extra time.

AbusesToilets

We're not going to win anything until we get a quality 10. Clermont levels now.

Dillonb3

Too many penalties conceded
