The Heineken Cup Thread

[Hoof Hearted]

It doesn't matter who is there, will be a great weekend anyway. Is that another date   

[tyroneboi]

Hoof Hearted, as a matter of interest where did you get your tickets for the H Cup final from? How much were they? Have been to Cardiff a few times for rugby matches and it is a great weekend away and would seriously consider going to the final in 2011.

[Hoof Hearted]

On ticketmaster tyroneboi. They can be bought from the Monday after the final each year.

Reasonable price too. i got the £65 ones. There is cheaper though.

Big win for Munster today, absolutely destroyed Toulon. After being 7 nil down inside 2 minutes, they dominated the rest of the game and won 45-18. Toulon are a good side too. Paul O'Connell still has to come back as well.

Great attacking rugby, really went at Toulon, even if frenchies don't travel well it was still a serious result after getting the late point last week. 5 points to Ospreys 4 over the next two matches should see them thru. All the doom & gloom surrounding them has been v premature.
Another great result for Leinster, really motoring since the munster match.

Good win for Connacht but really fucked up badly in Italy last week, talk is though that Elwood has targeted the magners & finishing in the top 3 Irish teams, here's hoping

[Dinny Breen]

Toulon made 12 changes from last week, calculated gamble, Ospreys will win that group....

[Main Street]

Toulon make changes, apparently that's what Toulon do - rotate their players week in week out.
According to a French rugby journalist, the team against Munster contained more experienced top 14 players.

Great to see Munster in flow, showing some glimpses of their old prowess. Top class entertainment for the couch potato.

Munster in action @ the minute, 5-6 against the Ospreys, Leinster playing in Clermont after this. Ulster had a good win yesterday. Aironi beating last years runners up Biarritz yesterday was some shock

very poor standard. Hopefully the next game will provide more entertainment

[Capt Pat]

Munster stepped up in the second half and did what they had to do.

O'Connell got sent off so won't play next week. It probably cost them a bonus point or two as well.

Leinster lost 20-13, what happened in that game?

leinster did very well considering the injuries. 10 each at the break. Clermont had a little more power. O Malley and mc fadden had great games along with O Brien. Heaslip went off injured at 50mins. So leinster did very well.
Much better game then the first one. I cant see Munster being at the business end of this. Semi finals at best

Leinster game was brilliant....Great attacking, good defending and Leinster with a massive injury list held on for the bonus point....

If this game didn't prove to Declan Kidney that having a strong scrum is a good idea and that Mike Ross is the best tighthead in Ireland then serious queries have to be raised

Maybe I'm being pedantic Pat here but surely the Semi Finals would be considered the "business end"?
