Leinster v. Toulouse Heineken Cup 2011 Highlights

[32120Dns]

toulouse cant win every year...

[anisocoro]

english clubs have to find their own money by themself in order to continue playing high level rugby, where as Irish franchises must only spend the huge amount of money that Irish Rugby Federation (=government) gives to them every year. The government "saves" money from school, healthcare, military and so in order to let >Irish franchises to win cups, so Irish people are happy instead of the deep crisis into which the Green Island has fallen. But it will come a day in which honesty prevails

[like2surf]

@anisocoro Feck it, Irish people don't want to live in Ireland anyway, its too cold and it rains too much, we can always watch the HC overseas.

[fuchtherezer]

@anisocoro Sorry but that is complete and utter bullshit and anyone who believes it is a bigger fool than the idiot writing it

what an oppourtunist try at 20 haha!

[blaablaa256]

one of the best matches ive been to it showed the determination of the leinster boys and the effect a crowd can have on a match over half the crowd wanted to jump on the ref

[andrew097]

that was such a amazing display of pressure place kicking by Sexton. Plus I dont think I have ever seen a side being so gracious in defeat as the Toulouse side in the post match interviews. No mistake it was an absolute joy to be in the stand that day watching two great sides play a great Test match because that is what it was.

It was quite simply one of the best matches I have ever seen

[mrfloppyjoe]

Northhampton wont be a walk in the park.. more of a brisk jog

[MADDIXT]

@mrfloppyjoe a very long jog though, while a rotweiler chases after u ;)

[mrfloppyjoe]

@MADDIXT If the Dog Mauls Chris Ashton By all means Id hand the trophy to Northhampton myself! :D

[MADDIXT]

@mrfloppyjoe i support northampton but that is still a funny thought!

[MADDIXT]

@mrfloppyjoe well leinster utterly fucked us over, well done

[mrfloppyjoe]

@MADDIXT Im not sure if leinster fucked Northampton or if Northhampton fucked Northhampton? either way hard luck and with the youth in your team who knows? maybe go one better next year..

[andrew097]

Northampton are a fine team with loads of options. Oh Leinster can beat them but they will have to bring their A game they cant do a Munster against Harlequins ie just turn up

[rhgi]

leinster deserve to win after the title, after beating such top class teams throughout the season.



[willow4star]

was a good semi, but northampton have a good history against irish teams in finals, just ask munster.

[electricladyland91]

@willow4star ye but northampton havent beaten the three best teams in the competition consecutively

[Egosounder123]

i really don't see how they couldn't be able to beat Northampton after this

imagine what they could do to them if they atually hit their pre six nations form.

[charlesm553]

really hope leinster dont win.a great team but the heineken cup needs to be shared around.cocky leinster.from a die hard munsterman

[DKP4]

@charlesm553 Ha ha! 

[FuriousDazza]

@charlesm553 What are you on about? Both Leinster and Northampton have won it once before. Sounds like sour grapes from someone who doesn't know alot about rugby to me. Good luck to Leinster in the final.

[jimbomalley]

@charlesm553

cocky coz their winning? tables have turned on the bitter munster fans. wouldnt be looking to share it around if munster were in the final would ya chief?

[bartled3]

@ 5:31 it shouldn't have been a penalty cos there was no ruck formed

[zisssssou]

A few pens were totally gifted to Leinster but they were more solid on the whole match

[groslardu]

at 3.10 this is absolutly not a penalty !!!!

[bartled3]

@groslardu it was cos he never cleared the leinster guy out first he went straight over the top

[theirishneilers]

He went over the top of the ruck - that's a penalty.Toulouse fans moaning about the referee is pathetic - your second try was a joke,Nyanga pulled back O'Brien clearly.He deserved to be punched.The O'Driscoll yellow card shouldn't have happened,because a ruck hadn't actually formed when he interfered (therefore there's no offside line and you can take the ball from any angle).As well as that,Picamoles actually pushed him into the ruck.Stop complaining about the ref,he was better for toulouse.

[groslardu]

@theirishneilers nothing to say about the rest jjust pass by the center of the ruck when the ball is out for me its not a penalty and im not a toulouse fan just a rugby fan and yes leinster is better

[kassopuccino]

@theirishneilers I'm a Toulouse fan and it was a great game.No problem with the referee he made a good game too.Leinster won the rucks battle and was more disciplined,it's definitly a great team. But I have some remarks:Even Nyanga pulled back O'Brien,the reaction is crazy and dangerous.It was almost a KO and you declare that he was right to react this way?!!! You can't say that...If you say our second try is a joke,I can say that your first try is a joke too:The video didn't prove anything

[mcphantic80]

@kassopuccino  the video clearly showed him grounding the ball

[kassopuccino]

@theirishneilers for the O'driscoll foul, the ref was right. It was not a ruck but nevertheless you have to respect some rules near a tackle. Here is the rule: "At a tackle or near to a tackle, other players who play the ball must do so from behind the

ball and from directly behind the tackled player"

The problem, I guess, is that O'driscoll was not behind.

[tony10396861]

@kassopuccino O'brien barely touched him!! It was a slap, and Nyanga wasnt hurt at all. And if you play rugby yourself you'll know that if someone grabs your jersey, it's an instinctive reaction to try and get him off, especially on your own line! As for the O'Driscoll thing, I dont know where you got that rule from. If that was the rule, then what would happen if you, say, intercepted an offload? The ref decided that the ruck had formed. It's close, but I think he was wrong

[12105258]

Fantastic match! Well done boys! Bring it home to Ireland now

[thehcd]

@12105258 way to go Leinster. Say BOD a few days before in Donnybrook. He was looking well relaxed. Had no doubt of the result!
