EPCR SEMI-FINAL V CLERMONT

[ronk]

Scrum turnover Henshaw saves day

[brenno]

Would have taken Toner off rather than Triggs

[ronk]

21-12 dg

[maps]

Talk about not getting the rub of the green. Amazing that we're still in it at this point. Big 15 mins here

[ronk]

Ringrose¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ronk]

11 minutes, 2 points, no fingernails

[ronk]

They miss, fair cause I thought they got away with a dummy

[ronk]

Drop goal again.

[ronk]

27-22 with 1 minute

[ronk]

All over. Fair play to Clermont. Really big performance

[Twist]

That 10 point swing when the try was disallowed was exactly what Clermont needed. They looked haunted at that point.

Some bad decisions from Leinster players but don't want to single anyone out right after a game. Nigel was poor though. Employee different rules for each team at the breakdown, ignored an early tackle on Nacewa before the first dg.....ugh!

Lopez 2 dg's won it. Fair play. They really got every bit of luck going though.

[tingman]

good side but we were well in it.....small margins....disallowed try....first drop goal after iSA tapped without the ball..... slow start killed us but we looked dangerous every time we ran at them.....we are back.

Fair play to clermont but leinster left that behind them. Saracens will smother clermont and take their chances. Really hope clermont win it but leinster had more of a chance against sarries than them. If it was in France then u might give them a real chance but wity it being in Edinburgh in may it will prob be cold and wet....hope not!! That will suit saracens more. Unlucky of leinster but too many players started slowly and gave themselves a mountain to climb.

Unfortunately Saracens are going to stuff Clerment.
Saracens simply won't make the sort of unforced errors that we made.
However Leinster are back and are once again a power in Europe.

Sickener to lose that. Too many errors and fine margins. As Sexton said we gave them a head start and couldn't reel them back.

It's a real cliche, but this side will learn from this and come back. We have superstars in waiting at 13 and 15 certainly.

By the way, Ruddock was absolutely immense. Some warrior.

Now, let's go and win the feckin league.

Our substandard line out producing unforced errors and coughing up possession cost us that match. A pity, 'cos apart from that we were pretty good.

Hopefully Ruddocks performance isn't lost in the aftermath of this. He was epic... Our squad looks great and is only getting better next year

I wouldn't write off Clermont against Saracens, that was a very mature display of a team with winning instinct.
