[QUOTE=Ryankelvin;3530543]Leinster have been ruthless while Toulouse players were in the bin .[/QUOTE

Absolutely, Leinster made the most of both sin bins. The Leinster back row were incredible again. Fabulous work rate from Doris, Van der Flier and Conan.

The fact that Leinster have home advantage in final is crucial,
Toulouse put everything into this game, they rested practically the entire team last weekend against Stade Francais , and they were still well short .
The only thing I would question was how significant the 2 yellow cards were , considering that Leinster scored the vast majority of their points whilst playing against 14 men .
I think Leinster are phenomenal and the only way they can be beaten is if they take their eye of the ball and are complacent.

Absolutely, having a home crowd will be a huge help. Leo and his management team and playing squad learned from the mistakes that cost them the final last year. I was very nervous about the game today. Taught it would be a lot closer. Toulouse were extremely disappointing. After the first try, they just seemed flat. Leinster closed them out for the rest of the first half. Yes the yellow cards made a huge difference. Toulouse didn't seem to be able to lift themselves. Some of that was down to Leinster's quality and they stopped them playing, but with the quality of the Toulouse squad, most of them are the French National team, so I expected more from them. Hopefully Leinster will do it this time against whoever comes through the other Semi-final. A home win with a full Aviva Stadium would be magical ��

I think la rochelle to beat exeter by about 7pts.

La Rochelle v Exeter Chiefs for the right to play Leinster in final,
I think it will be close , but La Rochelle by 3 to 5 points.

Gray looks to be badly injured for Chiefs , that is a big blow for Scotland and Exeter .

**Ryankelvin** · 30-04-23, 14:44

Yellow card for Chiefs.
Another try for La Rochelle
