Leigh Halfpenny visits Pro D2 facilities as Harlequins exit approaches

Magnanimous from White. Irish fans do need to appreciate what Leinster have achieved by assembling that squad. And they are good guys. Narrow defeats in finals stung. The utterly disingenious accusations of ‘Arrogance’ when they fall just short often peddled by lazy journalists looking for clickbait must have hurt too.

That first half performance was magnificent. The pressure that Bulls applied at the end of the first half, would have broken through any other team in the URC…beyond probably. I was in the terrace above and you could hear the thunderous collisions echoing above the din.

Two best teams in this years tournament and it showed.

Hard luck to Bulls but their day is coming.

Lovely to see the beautiful roars from the crowd for the great Jordie Barrett and that great journeyman no 10 for Leinster, Ross Byrne who saw the last quarter through with characteristic composure and professionalism.

Great tournament and I don’t think anyone could deny Leinster deserved that one, over the year as well as yesterday.

they could probably still have won the prem if they had given their top players a few weeks off to recover from the big european group stage away games

They will play against England huh, I just don’t think it’s good idea just so Fabien can get an eye on them earlier than normal, sacrificing a great learning and character building experience at the WC. I see only Theo (too old?) has been named against England XV but yes OK I will expect some to make from the finalists and lets hope they play, like Pollock will get to play!

But look at Leroy Carter this year, SR rookie of the year. Having gone through a system (7s) that prepares him, that’s how players used to come into SR and perform, because they’d already had runs on the board.

Yeah maybe club rugby in June he can qualify!?!?!
