félicitations à la meilleure équipe du jour. un endroit idéal pour passer des vacances, et maintenant, une force mondiale du rugby ! Bravo La Rochelle, tu as mérité et tu mérites cette victoire. l'amour comme toujours, de dublin !
well desereved
It was cup final rugby. We didn’t hit our usual 80% output and when you’re up against another top team you won’t win. But king Leo is correct, we move on. It fucking hurts but we have to move on
Man, I gotta say this one stings, but we were second best everywhere! lineout shite, scrum regularly dominated and no go forward ball to speak of! Fair play La Roche.... Only hard thing thing to take is the ROG fella up top... but sure c'est la vie!
80% to win ah final 😄😄
@@ianbermingham9047 yup, in Leinster’s case that’s what was needed. It didn’t happen
Fairly simple statement
Leinster where just not good enough on the day that's sport. Was a fantastic game.
Fully deserved... 3 tries to zero.. Nothing to add.. The best team won
Merci 👍
The best team did win on the day but I’m not sure I understand this logic about tries somehow being more worthy of a win than penalties. If you get more points you deserve to win to matter how you got them. The score on the board is what matters at the end of the day.
@@jmo8934 of course it IS..this IS the spirit of the game.. for sure i m so excited when a player scores a try, and i m definitely not for a penalty.
@@jefp.247 your excitement levels may go up for a try but that’s irrelevant. You get the points however you can get them on the board. That’s the game. Scoring tries in some scenarios will get you a bonus point. Not in a final though. It’s just about getting the win. A while down the line that’s all anyone will remember about the 2022 European cup.
@@jmo8934 lets agree to disagree dude..
We don't have a right to win. La Rochelle played better on the day and deserved their victory. Still think we are in a good place with home fixtures in the Champions Cup next year and same in the Six Nations for Ireland. Probably best to have work on's going into a World Cup year.
Cullen did not even have the respect for the winners ! Only excuses .... look at the difference with Ronan's interview ! A true gentleman and ambassador of the game 🏉
Ha. A lot easier to come out when you’ve just won rather than lost with the last play of the game.
@@jmo8934 not at all ! Rog has always been a gent win or loose ! Cullen was like a sulking snowflake !
@@patrickryan2451 he was disappointed. The culmination of a years work extinguished at the last second. It’s hard to take in the immediate aftermath. He didn’t even say anything out of the way. Just exaggeration on your part.
@@jmo8934 no just stating the obvious ! Look at o Gara's post match interview when they got beaten last year ! It's speaks for itself ! That is the difference ..
ROG is a big baby……and his captain on Saturday Aldritt was like a cry baby….”James Ryan didn’t look me in the eye”…and when the tape was played and replayed in fact he did….
I honestly think from Sexton's interviews in the 10 days lead up that Leinster subconsciously thought "well we've done the hard work we should win win this." They were favorites and sometimes that works against you. La Rochelle were excellent and deserve to win. Well done.
Finally Leinster met some real competition. I’m stoked for La Rochelle and french rugby 🏉 🇨🇵🏆
Are you irish??
@Bazzer French food !
Stoked for rugby ?
yeah Tolouse, Leicester and Munster really are Mickey mouse teams after all
@@fatsoblitz Toulouse a mickey mouse team with France 9 and 10 in their team ? La Rochelle barely won that match.It was one match,Leinster are the better team and everybody knows that but congratulations to La Rochelle. The best team doesn't always win matches.
3 essai pour la Rochelle ! 👍Et 👋 aux fantastiques supporters du Leinster .
Well done fully deserved victory
@Noel Kearns 👍
Sorry well done LaRochelle .....great people great supporter 2 great trainers......dont under estimate the role played by Donnacha, the forwards performance had his hall mark stamped all over it.....ie line out and agressive close in possession
Choked.
They just couldn't put their game in place. La Rochelle just too strong defensively
Proper rugby man.
I think that, as england during the world cup, they played their final last week against toulouse….
"Away in France" thats the excuse right there. Why a coach in any sport can't just say the better team won is beyond me
Leinster usually get all their games in aviva lol... this is what happens when they play away
@@chrisw7746 where you from lad??
Leinster are by far the best team in Europe, Rochelle played a power game.
@@karmapeach are you drunk? They lost the European cup final 🙄
I mean did you see the stadium yesterday? It was filled with La Rochelle fans it was for sure an advantage.
Vander Flier deservedly voted European Best Rugby player.......he is in line for world's best player .........James Ryan is not international standard (blown up by the Dublin rugby press) very important that Coombes and Ahearne are fast forwarded to the international team. We will need them to front up physically in the world cup. France's back row bullied us at Stade de France in the 6 nations
You talk some 💩
Ryan had great potential but has been injured a lot and now beaten up quite a few times. Henderson similarly. Happily we can look to the future with Baird, Molony, Ahern and Treadwell and hopefully some of these get blooded in NZ.
Sorry but have you watched Munster over the past year, particularly the last game against Leinster? The idea that fast tracking Munster players into the national team will be at all beneficial is insane lmao
Leo Cullen is a great Coach, you won't win all trophies as a human being, but man o man, this is a good team leimster
Could have said the better team won 🙄🙄🙄
YEAAAAHHHHH ! 🙃
The game is about carrying the ball and scoring tries. Three tries to nil should always carry the win. On the night the best team won.
Any other pearls of wisdom Leslie?
Sure but it is finals rugby. South Africa always take the points over tries.
Leinster fucking blew it....it's as simple as that.....!
Blew it ??
La Rochelle played to their own strengths , scored the tries bashed the shit out of the Leinster defence continually yet your take was the blues blew it ?
Educate yourself on the game man , silly comment
@@chrisChris6969 they played cup rugby instead of there new all out attack game never once looked like scoring a try and that killed them.
@@chrisChris6969 yep blew it, if these two teams played 10 times Leinster would win 6/7. Really bad performance played right in LRs hands but Barnes was also horrific. the amount of pre latching, neck rolling and no hands chop tackles was a joke
@@jeffrey89095
IF , BUT,,MAYBE , COULD BE, MIGHT BE.
if Carlsberg sponsored it ,it would be called The Carlsberg cup .
For the 80 minutes of the game we are all commenting on here
LR deserved their victory . They were outclassed by a superior coach whose tactics were exemplary .
Leinster didn't blow it , give the french the recognition they warrant
@@chrisChris6969 I don't think anything you said contradicts anything I said
Best side won
3 tries to nil
As Forest have qualified, so who will mark Goldbridge support ? Forest, Man United, Brentford or Liverpool ? 🙄
🦊
This guy is waffling on, he is running on quick sand. The arrogance led them to think it was just a matter of turning up.
The Polar Bear
La Rochelle 3 Leinster 0 C'est clair
Couldn't even say the best team won
don't worry, Leinster will be back again and win it many times in the future.
La rochelle bigger stronger
He needs to go and Lancaster needs to go. They've taken this amazing bunch of players as far as possible in Europe. Fresh blood is needed Bye bye!
Congrats to both teams. Pity Leo Wanker can't even have a word for winners LR.
He is FUMING
Outmuscled again. Best team won.
This has to be about irish rugby and Irish rugby lost today. Anyone from Ireland happy about that result doesn't give a f@@k about irish rugby end of story
Two Kiwis play on that team
@@ianbermingham9047 they also play for Ireland
@@killianoregan9391 read my first comment again are you that thick 😳 I've watched both Kiwi players play super rugby here in nz, you haven't ,they are still Kiwis
@@ianbermingham9047 La Rochelle also have a kiwi in Atonio as well as Skelton from AUA and Leyds, Rhule, Liebenberg from SA
It's a pity for leinster but the best team on the day won with 2 irish coaches at the helm.
Leinster where just not good enough on the day that's sport. Was a fantastic game
It was, great shock to the pundits aswell.
Surely that is coaches job to prepare team for final and work out how to stop opposition and still play . We have been shown to be lacking now on 4 occasions . Also, you have to be able to rely on scrum . That was Irish front row under pressure all day .
