Although after Barnes gibbering French Skelton says "Sorry what?"

[Bloke in North Dorset]

Got to go out 

I think he’s had a reasonable game. He’s much better when he’s not jabbering away providing a running commentary and making himself the centre of the game.

But why no yellow cards

[Neils]

Yes at last for La Rochelle.

Great win for La Rochelle, but agree why no yellow for Leinster at end?

Fantastic fans - would love to be there when they take the trophy home.

Ronan OGara is a seriously good coach.
Top drawer.
Wow….from where La Rochelle have come from.
Real underdogs, but incredible display and team unity.
Amazing fans.
It really reminds me of Wasps early 2000’s when nobody really gave us a chance….but we really showed them!

I wish more coaches would travel the world and expand their horizons.
His time at Crusaders must have been an added layer of insight to an already intelligent bloke.

Munster beat Leinster.
But in all seriousness, La Rochelle deserved that.
I, too, couldn’t believe Barnes didn’t award a yellow card in the final 5 minutes. How do you justify that, for repeated and obvious infringements.

Oh well. The right result. They scored all the tries too.

Ronan….next Lions coach?
Maybe an outside option, but jeez….I bet the boys would give everything for him.
Would be a fun tour.

Plus, the style of rugby would be in a different league to the dross we got served up in South Africa.

ROG certainly owes the Lions after 2009!

He really generated an epic performance today. My weekend is complete at 9/2 for La Rochelle, 7/2 for Lyon.
Three tries to nil

Barnes? One of the worst refs out there now. Doesn’t apply the laws as he’s now bigger than the game in his own head. He was OK today. But when he refs “normal” league games he loses interest and just does his own thing.

Listening to him talk to BT Sport after the game he is a special coach for players.

Despite whatever style is preferred, the pick and go grind delivered the winning try.
