Not really. The richest French clubs dominating is hardly good for rugby. It could easily be another Clermont-Toulon final.
That said, Clermont looked fairly lethal yesterday and I would like Rougerie to have the opportunity to lift the trophy before he retires.

Based on that display yesterday Id have them as favourites.

They looked like us versus the same opposition last year, then guess what happened.

If not Leinster; I'd also like Clermont to win - but historically sad to say, they are perennial chokers. Away from Stade Mickyman I wouldn't be putting the house on them. I cheered them on v Toulon in Lansdowne Road but I couldn't believe how easily they got mugged that day.

clermont were a joy to watch yesterday against saints. i remember we pinched a semi final in the rds against clermont a few years back....their fans were brilliant. almost felt sorry for saints, they were demolished completely.

Racing Metro should be leading in this game but they're not taking their chances.

agreed. sarries scrum is getting pummelled....can't believe they are leading. hodgson missed 2 penalties in the first half too....

No - one of his own players
Think it was Machenaud, but it was definitely one of the Racing players and a total accident. Mighty painful I would imagine though.

Racing are showing their lack of experience in knockout rugby compared to Saracens. They might sneak it still though.

true (lack of knockout experience). seriously naive to to try running the clock down within kicking distance of your own posts.

And it nearly happened only for those morons at Racing Metro to f**k it up.
Trying to pick and jam the match out in their own half? Beyond idiotic!

so...marseille it is....valliant effort by wasps...toulon didnt like their quick ball game. here's hoping MOC was watching and noticed that every time wasps got the ball out wide toulon looked vulnerable....

Ah would have been nice if for all the talk of the Irish having an unfair advantage but then still no PRL team comes near winning it
