Heino Cup Pool 5, Round 6: Exeter Chiefs vs Leinster

First topic message reminder :

Well here we are at the last of the pool games, with lowly Exe (and one or two other results) standing between the current European champions and qualification for the knock-out phase of this year's tournament. Leinster overcame the challenge of the Chiefs back in October at the RDS with a 9-6 victory. Thoughts?

3 points Exeter

dont think he has awarded one to leinster all game the little *******

they have been at it all game. we are in snooze mode since we got the bonus point

Yeah he has. Because I was thinking he had penalised Exeter for it earlier.

Penalty to Exeter 20-26 to Leinster

Does Poite ever shout 'HANDS OFF'?????????????

Numpty!!

Poite allows people to flop over the ball, but when someone makes a legitimate turnover, on their feet, he penalises them.

His interpretation of the laws confuse me I have to say.

Exeter rampaging, break deep and clean, called as blocking... not for me!! The ball carrier did round his own player but he wasn't obstructing anyone!

I don't think he actually took anyone out there.

we need 2 more. 4 will not be enough.

ah urine off cronin. useless. bread and butter

26-20 to Leinster, Billy!

Poite really has no consistency at the breakdown, although BOD was def leaning on the tackled player Poite couldve called 6 more tonight for either team similar to that one!!!

I thought that as well but I think it was Baxter blocking that was called. He definately got in the way of Cullen.

I can see Exeter shooting themselves in the foot going for the try. But it doesn't really effect them in the long run so why not?

YEllow for Exeter

That is a shocking decision. Cullen came flying in at the side and knocked White off his feet. A truly shocking decision.

3 points for Leinster??? Lack of balls in that call!!!!

Why the posts!?!?!?!?!?!?

I'm pretty sure Cronin won't be the Lions hooker. Because he can't throw straight.

i am not sure about that call at all. hurry up johnny

He didn't come in at the side, he came in at the front.

Poite is having a shocking half. Giving some crazy decisions to Leinster.

Have to agree, he was on his feet competing for that, fair game.

Odd how White was carded but BOD not, same position, similar offence!

Exeter putting up a decent fight against Ireland.

And now it is 29-20! Leinster went for the penalty kick to ensure the win.

well exeter have hardly given a lesson in releasing the tackled player.

poite has been useless for both sides

that penalty will secure the game and knock us out of the HC cup

Is Romain Poite showing the art of mime as it pertains to rugby refereeing!!!!

HOW DOES TONER NOT GET DONE FOR TAKING THE SPACE THERE!!! nEVER GETS PENALISED AND IT DRIVES ME NUTS!!!

Whats Boss been carded for?

High tackle by Ruddock missed there.

Clothesline on Jess by Ruddock, Leinster get a penalty 5 seconds later... WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Jess obstructs the quick tap and nothing... Poite WTF are you doing?

last chance saloon here. Leinster need another

HOW WAS THAT NOT A PEN? Exeter clearly stealing the ball and wrestled for 3/4 seconds until the leave it call?!

Ex just not good enough. I'm torn, I'd sort of like the new boys to have a chance but they are in Devon, its a bit too much to support them.

Dublin were clearly better anyway. Sad that there is no European not yea as ex would have got better with experience I think.

5th try wouldn't make a difference. We needed 6 to make Munster need 5 according to Sky

munster will have bonus point by half time. racing will be a disgrace

poite is useless utterly useless

amazed how jennings has not come on.

if any leinster fans in exeter see stuart barnes at the ground can they please throw the vile dwarf in a skip.

Might be enough for Dublin. Limerick might not find it easy betting the Paris team.

Great game. Well played both teams

That is the shortest penalty advantage ever? He didn't call it over either. Bizarre.

He is a good ref but a few decisions really let him down. That was a joke ive seen knock on advantage last longer.

Its times like this you wish O'Gara was allowed play tomorrow

So it wasn't a penalty advantage?

Munster will knock us out tomorrow. They'll love that.

Great game there though.

He's a horrible ref, absolutely no consistency and his communication with players his poor, even when he's reffing two french sides.

Lot of people not giving Leicester a chance I see?

I can see Munster falling a touch short and Leicester pipping it, either way how much do the Quins and co want to avoid those 3 teams? All can pull out away performances, I'd rather CA or Toulon over those 3!

I suspect it'll be close. Racing may genuinely give it a go or they may do the French thing and just send a nothing squad as its gone anyway.

I hope the put a proper squad out.

Leinster have the points so its their advantage right now.

Shame this competition looks over with the English and French out from next year. I'll miss it,

People are expecting Leicester to win tomorrow and not have to worry about runner up spots.
