What a European final we had on Saturday between both Leinster and Toulouse at a sold out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.
After the loss, quite a few Irish journalists are doing U-turns ..
The attack is a shadow of its former self. And the new defence isn’t good enough to compensate. Despite being the inferior side on Saturday, Toulouse could easily have won by 15-20 more points considering their disallowed tries & other opportunities. They cut Leinster apart.
That’s a lot of criticism (in a headline) for a match that went to extra time and was so close
While I agree the best team won, it could have gone either way !
From an Ulster fan, is this not all a bit harsh? If the drop goal in the 79th minute had gone over all rugby journalists would be writing a completely different narrative.
