Larmour's try was pure filth.

The double achieved, and in some style!! We kept Beirne very quiet. Scarlets were good aswell. Big game from Conan and master class from Sexton

And could anyone who argued McGrath was mis-cueing them long kicks last week last week please raise their hand!
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

This was the most competitive year in Celtic year history, we had all the toughest teams in the cup.artaneboy wrote:No doubt. The evidence in trophies and performance is clear.Sionnach wrote:Our best season ever?
Must be.
Maybe not the unbridled euphoria & redemption of 2009, or the thrill of 2011, but we’re in a new space now: uncontested Top Dog in Europe- possibly the World...

The grand slam was heavy on Leinster players.
In 2009 Munster were the only team everyone was afraid of, money has changed that. We’ve had to rebuild more and faster with less imports.
This is a better Leinster and a tighter knit team.

Am floating on air. That was amazing. Scarlets are a bloody good team and we put them to the sword. So many magnificent moments, I don't know where to start. Well done to all concerned and thanks for the greatest ever season.

Re: Pro14 Final Leinster v Scarlets Sat 6PM Aviva Stadium
You can’t resist- can you. He was excellent today- in all aspects. But that says absolutely nothing on the intention his kicking last week. And of course, it means still less as to the merits of that supposed tactic. That kicking was poor; today he was great. That is all!paddyor wrote:+1wixfjord wrote:Thank god we managed to overcome that huge Scarlets advantage eh!Ruckedtobits wrote:As an isolated selection, i.e. ignored the eligibility conundrum, the scrum-half selection may comeback to bite us.

Re: Pro14 Final Leinster v Scarlets Sat 6PM Aviva Stadium
Super performance today great end to a great season
The players on the pitch performed brilliantly
One gripe with the post match presentation some muppet decided that flying a large curtain type kite with the sponsors name on it was more important than several thousand paying spectators seeing the actual presentation - I was livid I've been to 3 euro finals and several league finals and always enjoyed the presentation of the trophy If I wanted to see it on a screen I could go to the local or watch onTV.
If I am paying top dollar for a seat I expect to see the presentation not a sponsors advert

A special mention for Mr. S Cronin. Dropped from the national squad in Nov., reportedly leaving us in December, Grand Slam winner in March, Hcup & P14 winner in May playing the fvcking rugby of his life.
No longer the (feigned praise) dynamic Sean Cronin, "great impact sub", who would be great if he could sort his darts out. He has been phenomenal, pure passion too and extremely vocal on the pitch. Class hooker must have the national team captain looking over his shoulder.

Has Now scored tries in 3 Pro14 finals, a Heino final and the Challenge Cup final.
Is there anyone out there that can match that?

And his throwing is now phenomenal in accuracy and consistency. Something that Best (and I am fan of Rory) has his own issues.

In addition, he was man of the match in the 2014 league final (to make up for not scoring a try in it)blockhead wrote:+1Peg Leg wrote:A special mention for Mr. S Cronin.

His try reminded me of Stringer's one v Biarritz, so cleverPeg Leg wrote:A special mention for Mr. S Cronin. Dropped from the national squad in Nov., reportedly leaving us in December, Grand Slam winner in March, Hcup & P14 winner in May playing the fvcking rugby of his life.

Re: Pro14 Final Leinster v Scarlets Sat 6PM Aviva Stadium
was especially delighted for Ruddock/Conan yesterday.
Conan in particular has been written off by some since the 6 nations.

So any of you who know me know how much I love stats - here's one of my favourites from yesterday....
Devin Toner's try was his first for Leinster in 5 years and 8 months (or 2093 days) - his last try for Leinster ( on September 1st 2012) was in our opening day fixture against Scarlets!!!!
