At Leinsters next European Cup match I'll wear a Luchadore mask if my fundraiser for Ireland's National Autism Charity gets to €500

And fair play he didn't.
Bravo
#LARvLEI
Nice reffing by Brace to stop quickly for the Leicester forward. When he restarts with LAR, please don't let LAR get a scrum pen, that would seem unfair given the circs.

Some thoughts from #LARvLEI
1. The Nienaber strategy is effective, but think I would prefer to lose finals playing rugby than winusing the RSA style of play
2. Prendergast is still not the finished article. Frawley is a better option than him or Byrne right now
3. Doris is astonishing

Oh you will Ronan. You will...

La Rochelle v Leinster Champions Cup 2024/25 Review youtu.be/sAyzlOvFufw?... via @YouTube #LARvLEI #InvestecChampionsCup #Rugby
I know we haven’t won anything yet and you don’t win anything until May but if you don’t celebrate beating a class outfit like Stade Rochellais at Marcel Deflandre then there’s something wrong with you so… #LARvLEI
Super match, what a finish!
Oh my heart...pass the beta blockers...
#LARvLEI
#LARvLEI I need to stop doing this to myself, what a fucking game but my fucking heart!
My heartrate might return to normal in a few hours. #LARvLEI
Me feckin heart.
Can't say much right now but this is exactly the kind of win we got Nienaber for. Some worldie double hits throughout but esp at the death.
Rewatch will be much more enjoyable!
#LARvLEI
What a super game, congratulations to both Leinster and Stade Rochelais
Just spectacular stuff. #SRvLEI #LARvLEI
That was savage. Proper test match quality battle. 3 in a row v LAR still doesn't make up the two in a row.
Would love to play them again later in comp. Always a bruiser #LARvLEI
BOOM!!!!!! #LARvLEI
#LARvLEI drama & defence to the end - bloody hell 💙
#LARvLEI Oh wow, that could have gone either way, but I'm so impressed at how Leinster actually started to play offence after defending for so long. That would be a superb win at home, away it's just amazing. Stunning stuff.
Jesus, what a game! Both teams brilliant defensively but seemed to do everything they could to lose it towards the end in attack. My heart...
#LARvLEI
What a game. What a finale. This rivalry will kill me.
Set piece is a mess. Lineout is a mess. Scrum needs work. But that defensive effort. My word.
#LARvLEI
I'll tell you what though, the eye contact was good.
Shove it up your fuckin holes you absolute pricks
#LarVLei
Brilliant game. Credit to both sides and to the La Rochelle support in the stadium #LarVLei
That was *quite* the last 5 minutes #LARvLEI
That was a tonne of fun in the last 20 min. #larvlei
My heart
#LARvLEI
Two proper European heavyweights slogging it out in the south of France.
Love to see it #LARvLEI
Both teams attack look really blunt here #larvlei
It's an "emergency tea n toast" addled with PTSD kind of game #LARvLEI
It's just occurred to me at half time that if Porter goes off injured, Healy could come back on to avoid uncontested scrums.
Seems to be a very clever tactic with little to no downside.
#LarVLei
Defence has been outstanding and finally starting to make gains after soaking pressure for 30 minutes. Edge of seat stuff. I’d prefer to have the Leinster bench. #LARvLEI
