#heinekenchampionscup — Public Fediverse posts

Cracking atmosphere here, my nerves are shot, need kickoff ASAP. Not sure how much I'll be able to say in this thread outside HT and FT but will welcome all contributions throughout as ever

Came down to discipline, but certainly not luck. Leinster matched them in the forwards and forced a lot of the penalties. We were in clinical mood in several areas and put a really tricky SF to bed early. Loads of great performances but it was the team effort again. #LEIvTLS #HeinekenChampionsCup

My half time snack will be a massive slice of humble pie for any doubts I had over starting Charlie Ngatai after his lay off. Cracking half with loads of key moments. Still all to play for but this scoreline does reflect the half IMO.

Well again we looked comfortable despite it remaining close into 2nd half. Almost needed to go a man down to click into gear. Great position to be in to disagree with PotM award but I'd have gone for JOB. Still, happy out, first into the final four. Onwards we go.

Leinster in control for the most part but a little reminder at the end of the half that the Tigers do have the quality to take chances when offered. Nice quick tap, super finish and exquisite conversion. Which means it's still a one score game and Leinster have a lot of work to do. Hopefully Baird knock not too bad.

Got to D4 early as you do. Need another patient performance tonight mistakes will be punished.

Not exactly #Leinstertainment but definitely Leinster in control that 2nd half. Again shipped one try but mostly strangling D and clinical at the other end when required. Anyone from Baird, Ryan & Conan couldve been SotM. Onwards we go. #LEIvULS #HeinekenChampionsCup

Fascinating half of rugby. Leinster just about in control but know any mistakes will def be punished. Baird heavily involved in everything up front. Still a lot of rugby left in this.

We can forget about URC form
We can forget about HCC form
We can even forget about the HCC formAT.

This is cup rugby. It's what you get done on the day.

Bring it on.

Do get involved in the chat if the mood takes you.

I'm going to let the rest of social media focus on Leinster's negatives for this toot because we know they will. Fact is, we were posed a problem and we cracked it. That won the match, Ringer's awesomeness provided the polish. Many lessons learned from this pool phase despite insane points diff. Matches will get more difficult, but we can raise our game too. Bring it on.

Never in doubt. #Ahem

This is just the kind of test Leinster need to pass if we're going deep into the tournament, it's all about how we come out from the break. #LEIvR92 #HeinekenChampionsCup #RugbyMastodaoine #rugby @rugby

Well that was a sloppy one wasnt it, which means Racing's gameplan is working. JOB try well worked but not much else going right with the ball need to change things up. Possible visitors will tire with all their hard work but they've done well so far.

Despite early try that HT scoreline seems unfair to Glaws it has been much closer with pressure on scrum but Leinster v clinical when it counts, long way back for the home side, seem to be missing Hastings most. Osborne playing like he has been a test 12 for years. #GLOvLEI #HeinekenChampionsCup #rugby @rugby

Comfortable enough from Leinster, good set pieces, took chances we were given despite not being really tested on account of all the R92 penalties.

I'd be annoyed as a Racing fan after being asked to trek from Paris for that display tbh, that Russell/Wade combo too little too late.

For Leinster it's all about regathering and managing 6-day turnaround for the RDS on Friday. Happy out.

That Porter tackle looked like the first bit of serious defending we needed in that half. It was mostly about Racing's D, often excelllent, often penalised and we managed to build a lead on back of the latter. BP should be there for us but still need a good start after the break, I doubt Racing will give up

Frustrating for Leinster but then again this is the kind of challenge we want & expect in this comp. Need to keep at it the scores should come. Havent really had a chance to test our own D yet!
