Harpin' On RugbyAt my seat with just ten mins to kickoff, more nervous by the second, this promises to be a classic hope it's one I'll remember well!!!! Throw in your own two cents on the thread as the modd takes you we'll read them out on Sunday's pod
My half time snack will be a massive slice of humble pie for any doubts I had over starting Charlie Ngatai after his lay off. Cracking half with loads of key moments. Still all to play for but this scoreline does reflect the half IMO.
Came down to discipline, but certainly not luck. Leinster matched them in the forwards and forced a lot of the penalties. We were in clinical mood in several areas and put a really tricky SF to bed early. Loads of great performances but it was the team effort again. #LEIvTLS #HeinekenChampionsCup
RugbyKino 🏉@HarpinOnRugby There's no asterisk on that one. The better team by a clear margin on the day.

Seriously though, speaking as a Munster fan, it was a fantastic, relentless performance. I can see where Ireland gets it from.
Higgs@mixtwitch @RugbyKino @HarpinOnRugby thought it was going to be tighter before the match then how it ended up. Ngatai made a huge impact in the first half. Plenty of tired legs at the end of the match
@vnvobit @RugbyKino @HarpinOnRugby Very true. IMO, the really soul-crushing moment came when Ryan yoinked the lineout steal. Absolute confidence-shattering stuff.
"yay, I stole a critical Leinster lineout"
"Nope" <yoink>
