Leinster V Stade Rochelais. Champions Cup Final. Sat May 20, 16:45. Aviva Stadium, Dublin.

Go on then... List them... And then list the ones that went LARs way...

Better side won. Leinster were awful. Lowe should have stayed with the baby! He was brutal. JGP, awful just so poor. Jenkins was a spectator, a cheerleader. The backs were poor. Furlong was poor. He's been poor for a while. Is he in his twilight?

Congratulations to R.O.G and LaR. Best team and the best head coach. They absolutely battered the shyte out of the Ireland pack. They made it look easy.

That beating gmhurts worse than last seasons. LaR should have won by 20.

The Ngatai carry that brought him to the line was excellent, but I feel like he could have and should have drawn and released rather than kept going. There was a try opportunity there.

But even after that there were still opportunities to score a drop goal. From having the ball on the line Leinster trucked up a few more rucks to a more central position and the kick was on. But they didn't take it. The Alaalatoa red card was caused because they went for further ruck set ups rather than dropping deep and making the kick.

2008 is a long, long, long time ago.

Think Ryan was a huge loss to Leinster today, the forward battle may have already been swinging but it was very much La Rochelle after that. Slightly surprised Furlong went after just 5 minutes second half too or had I missed an injury?

Leinster certainly got into the right area of the pitch for the drop goal but they never looked to manufacture it. In fairness they did get a run at the French line so might have seemed the right thing to do, but in a one point final, last minutes, cant help think Sexton would have gone for the kick.

Epic game though, proper edge of seat at the end!

ROG plays media interviews so well, he gives enough to get everyone on board. It's fascinating to watch, and as much as he drives me nuts he's really engaging, and genuine. Fair dues to him, he's done incredibly well, and from a leadership point of view i can see how he builds a really bought in team culture, to be fair.

There plenty of time for analysis. Congratulations to ROG and LaR. They started the game so poorly, tactically played directly into Leinsters hands, but adjusted and from 20 mins on, LaR were the superior team

I'll wait then...

"Small margins" "They were unlucky" blah blah blah. How many years now have Leinster fallen to pieces when it mattered? They got bullied off the park yet again. La Rochelle are the best team in Europe by a considerable margin.

Ross Byrne's game management was utterly appalling. Kicked away every possession Leinster got in the 2nd half, and didn't have the balls to step up and take the drop goal at the end. Then he got another chance when LAR didn't find touch and he shirked the responsibility yet again. Been saying it for years, he's not up to this level.

if he had reffed the breakdown properly, LaR would have had another try or two.

good of you to make a claim, shown its wrong then pivot to another claim to try and save face.

but hey cry a little harder.

Yeah and even with the penalty they had before hand, you could see him testing the wind a lot of times and you could tell he wasn't confident

Now that was a tough penalty to take off the tee anyways if he did choose it (I'd say even Sexton would've gone for the corner in that scenario) but you could see thoughts of doubt creeping in at that stage.

I think caught it on a hip, unfortunate head placement on his part.
