First topic message reminder :

Immovable object meets unstoppable force.

Leinster unbeaten in Europe since their last visit here exactly 2 years ago. Clermont now have a 50 game unbeaten home run in all comps, stretching back over 3 years.

Expect thunder, lightning, and balls to the wall Rugby action.

Clermont clear favourites, but Leinster will not let it go easy.

Leinster need the win as Clermont are 2 points ahead going in.

Leinster with full pack and a possible edge in the back row. Clermont have the edge most other places especially the backs where Leinster have a lot of injuries.

Hmmm. Difficult match for both sides. Leinster had possession and territory for a while and got a penalty from it.

But they've handed back advantage to Clermont who've taken their chances and kicks very well.

15-9. A tight game but still all to play for.

If Leinster can take the LBP from this, they'll have had a good day at the office. Anything more would be a great bonus.

Thanks Golden, found a new one in french.

Leinster have really played very well but need to score next. If Clermont get the next score they could be in trouble.

Leinster need to be much more in Clermont's face. It's actually quite tame from them so far - which could be a bad signal, as in the sharper pace won't be there today at all - or a good one if they're holding off a bit and were just trying to contain Clermont's exuberance in the first half and stay close..

Couple of decisions have gone their way, such as the first scrum and the penalty they got after the restart, when their players went of their feet.
Could prove crucial.

First Ireland start mullering Argentina in the scrums.

Then Ulster demolish the famed Northampton front row.

Munster scupper Saracens.

And now Leinster have just shoved Clermont into a penalty.

Something put in the Irish water recently?

The more Leinster look like they might grind back, the more nervous I become. It's actually worse having hope! Wink
They still need extra aggression to get there though. Hope they have it.

Leinster have pretty much dominated the match but since Strauss has been on, he has given away the ball and field position with his shocking throwing and missed tackles.

Good game, good game.

Clermont keep their home record intact. Leinster get the crucial LBP.

All over. There was one badly missed kick from Sexton in the first half. Could turn out to be the difference between topping the group or not.

Unless we get a tbp win in Dublin Very Happy

Strauss seems a tad over-eager to impress since getting the Ireland shirt. He should realise he doesn't have to do anything extra, just play his normal game. He needs to calm down now after the heady AI season.

Schmidt and the players went with the idea that this was a very very tough game...but that all would not be lost with a close loss (and a loss was being predicted by most observers)

So a loss if it was coming - well, that's the best we could have gotten out of one. Containing them from scoring tries, keeping the score close, and getting the losing bonus.

Wouldn't say it's over just yet.

Well done Clermont.

Great performance by Leinster, their best of the season by miles. They should have really won that though, too many squandered chances unfortunately. Their pack really fronted up big time.

The LBP keeps their chances alive though, so not a bad result but could have been better.

What a brilliant game. Such a pity the lineout fell to pieces in the last 20 minutes or I reckon Leinster would have taken them... Still a LBP in the Marcel Michelin is nothing to be sniffed at... McFadden, Boss, Madigan and O'Brien outstanding and Goodman was solid in defence and ferocious in attack. I reckon Clermont will be worried come next Saturday!
