Rabbo Pro 12 Final thread(Teams included)

First topic message reminder :

Right, now, we know the teams, we know the venue, how do we think this one will pan out ? Although there is less at stake, I think that this game will be a lot better than HC final, and with Leinster having home advantage, it is hard to look past a Leinster win, but the Ospreys have been to the RDS this season and won so they will not fear going to Dublin, also Tandy has come in and breathed fresh air into the squad, but I still think Leinster will win but it will be very close, probably just a score in it. So I am going for Leinster by 3pts.

15: Rob Kearney 14: Fergus McFadden 13: Brian O'Driscoll 12: Gordon D'Arcy 11: Isa Nacewa 10: Jonathan Sexton 9: Eoin Reddan

That stuff doesn't even belong on a soccer thread, soccer is a fine sport. Poor stuff Sheephead.

If a idiot posts offencive nonsense why then fuel the fire by responding to it.

Can we replace Poite with the TMO?

The best thing the O's can do now is fight back and let the rugby do the talking. Well done Ashley GAME ON!!!

17 - 16.

Looks like the former. Great start from the Ospreys.

Ah good were angry, lets hope the boys rip Leinster to pieces now. their at their best when their píssed off.

Who needs Henson/Hook or Roberts?

Beck is gifted.

Great stuff from the O's

Haha. Ospreys come out and score a try anyway. By playing rugby. Game on.

This is a cracker!!

17 - 16

Game on!

To be honest Rodders you've been saying how wrong Poite is then you turn around and say it was all the Ospreys fault. You are as baffling as he is. And can I just say nothing I've said has been an attack on Leinster as perhaps it may come across that way.

Saying that, superb try by the Ospreys. We might actually see the game flow I hope.

I dont know if your listening to the commentry from Mike Ruddock but he said the Ospreys were not going to get that try as the ref wouldnt be brave enough to award it. He wanted an excuse to let Leinster off.

No arguments though Leinster are the better team apart from in the scrums. I think the Ospreys have been treated unfairly though in that last passage of play and by a ref who is scared to do his job. Very disappointing.

No, there is no reason for the Ospreys to do it, yet Adam Jones keeps doing it. He is trying to gain an advantage when he doesn't actually need to. What Ruddock is saying is patiently unfair. The referee cannot give a penalty try until the ball goes into the scrum. Poite is pinging Leinster before the balls goes in so he can't award it. Quite straightforward really. Doesn't mean his refereeing isn't a complete shambles.

Fussell, you idiot. Leinster will like it if they're wound up.

Rofl, might be better to just give Leinster the Cup now, pretty obvious which team the ref wants to win...

Dere 'mlaen Gweilch!!! Sexytoes going for a penalty. Lack of discipline from Fussell.

20 - 16.

Brad Thorns on

He cant be allowed ANOTHER trophy.

Rhys Webb is a livewire, I don't know how Fotuali was ever selected ahead of him.

Let's stay focussed on the game lads. O's are really trying to capitalise on the binning, but they're giving away penalties.

The Ospreys poor discipline is the difference in this game so far. They really ned to sort themselves out if they want to win this game as they look really sharp in attack

Notch summed it up. Poite has been poor for both sides so why didn't the Ospreys take the descision out of Poites hands and attack down the blindside with Leinster with no blindside winger? That is exceptionally poor play.

Come on O's, you've the sun on your backs....keep attacking!!!

Anyone have a stream link? Can't find on TV here in England

Arguments aside, these are clearly the best 2 teams in the league this season. 2 Great teams

this game has a bit of bite to it now at least.

Toner playing really well, should have gotten in the irish squad

game / english commentry link

turn down the welsh commentry on the stream, and turn up the english radio bbc link

A few bans being handed out to the likes of Idris would be a good start. Some pretty disgraceful posts and removing them seems to do nothing.

2 knock-ons cost the O's 60m and possession.

I often use bad language and profanities at home but seeing it on here is actually disgusting me! Stop insulting the Irish and watch the game.

+1 I'm afraid. I'm just trying to follow this thread and watch the rugby, but some posters are losing the head and lower the tone.

You dont see ref's pulling 9's up anymore for feeding to the second row.

Jeebus thats a shocking penalty surely thats a yellow?

Calm down Morgs, the Irish are the new English!

Definite yellow from jones. Lucky boy. Cynical again from o's

Why was Alyn penalised there? Bit harsh from Poite. that was a marginal one?

Cari wrote:Why was Alyn penalised there? Bit harsh from Poite. that was a marginal one?

Handling the ball on the ground without a shadow of a doubt. Could have been more than a penalty

Anyway, penalty kick from Sexytoes. Too easy.

23 - 16. Once again O's indiscipline letting themselves down.

That will probably do it for the O's now.

dangerous now, Leinster back up to 7 point margin..

Oh Dirksen!! Was that a try?

Ah Nacewa you're shoite man!!.....

Ospreys losing the head.

Ospreys losing control a little.

Blwdi Ospreys...!

C'mon lads your better than this
