The Bulls have much better depth compare to the Stormers at the moment. They have a great bomb squad. The Bulls weakness all season was their defense. If they can copy the Stormers defense they should take it. Its their 4th URC final and have beaten Leinster a few years ago in a play off at home.

Leinster’s to lose

Apparently only about 15,000 at the Leinster Stormers semi final.

Geez just watched Saints/Tigers semi final from Gallaher Shield, another top game. It's not only us who had a great Friday night semi!

@Dan54

Yeah bloody good game. The man everyone loves to hate was everywhere in the first half, tailed off a bit in the second half though. Unlucky not to get MOM. George Martin was immense too and that bloody Reffel - how many turnovers did he get and at such critical times too..

MiketheSnow

Wow

What a second SF

Bath absolutely blew that

Catogrande

@Bones I'm not biting on that rancid bait.

@pakman There were a number of times when I thought Bath had got the ball over the line but Ridley was positioned very well and was very certain in his judgements and conveyed this very well. Telling I think that the Bath boys didn't go up in arms about any of those plays and nor did the TMO intervene at any point to suggest a review..

Typical Planet Rugby hatchet piece. Do they ever do any positive "journalism"?

Interesting reading some of the criticism of Carreras at 10 - it looked to me like he was quite aggressively calling for the ball on more than one occasion.

In Spanish?

Mr Fish

@pakman He was certainly gesticulating like an Argentinian.

Leinster castrating the Bulls

Nice finish by Ioane there. And 3 yellow cards for people blocking passes - failed 'intercepts' preventing linebreaks, good stuff.

Sheesh, so the top club comp in the world has gaps as big as Super in the finals?

I don't think the Crusaders got beaten that badly did they?

TBF, none of the gaps were that big.

That first one looked pretty rough to me - the pass was forward so can hardly call it a potential line break.

Nice clean from Ioane after bulls nearly scored from that kick too.

Racing were completely worn out after their game against Pau and they had to face a very fresh Toulouse side. And they had to manage a six day turnover as well.

Nice try in the final by Reiko Ioane. Glad he got a winner's medal.

He should be in the ABs squad on Monday. Probably no longer our first-choice 13 but a great bench and squad option.

Not a bad match in the Premiership Final

Northampton too strong
