@rennyjones @rugbyontnt I thought that, was trying to hear what the ref was saying but all I could hear was O’Driscoll bleating on

Dear @rugbyontnt there’s literally no point having the officials miked up if your commentary team insists on yelling over them so we can’t hear what’s being discussed
English
@FogartyJack As great as Hume is and he his really important, I think the Bell and O’Toole news is better with the lack of front row options available right now
English
..... Promising I'd say but still not reassured. Really need Hume fit from the others. Think his form this season has been superb. Especially defensively.

@LeinsterClub How did those Champions Cup seasons end? Asking for a friend
English
For anyone concerned about Leinster losing a URC game the week before the Champions Cup semi final, it's worth noting that Leinster have NEVER won a URC game the week before a Champions Cup semi final
English
@RugbyInsideLine And yet Leicester still have to go away to Bath this season, probably twice if the table stays the same
English
Bath have lost TWICE away to Leicester this year.
🐯 46 - 21 🛁
🐯 22- 20 🛁
Bath are good, but they've not been faultless this season.
Rotating today could end up being very costly if they slip up at all in the run in.
RugbyInsideLine@RugbyInsideLine
Bath v Saints is huge, despite Bath rotating. If Bath can pull out a result, then it really does make a statement ahead of a possible PREM final clash. If Bath slip into 3rd over the coming weeks, they could face a daunting trip to Welford Road in the semis.
English
Ulster need to start Hendy, Sheridan, and Izzy at 6 for Saturday to deal with Munster's breakdown threat. Even then it might not be enough

@simonrug @URCOfficial Time spent at the back of a ruck asking for penalties: Hours - Luke McGrath

@ajlills78 @EngRugbyDebate So what you’re saying is that if you play for Leicester, Sarries or Saints you get a better chance to play for England? Surely Borthers wouldn’t do that 🤣
English
@EngRugbyDebate Oghre the best cooker in the prem for the last 2 years should be in with George but because of Borthwick and his anti Bristol beliefs won't pick him!!

@jonathanneville @EngRugbyDebate Spencer won’t play this weekend, it will be TCS or VDL at 9 for Bath. Can’t see Russell in the side either
English
@EngRugbyDebate The third spot for hooker and scrum-half will be fascinating starting with Mcparland vs Spencer this weekend. Quirke as a genuine 9/11/14 if he's fit and Bracken looks a very decent prospect. Blamire should get more game time at the expense of LCD.
English
@LeinsterClub To be fair, his brother Jude had more of an impact when he came on 😜
English
Little bit of inside knowledge:
Watch out for the Leinster number 10. He's only just turned 23 but has a huge future ahead of him
Sam Postlethwaite could be the difference tonight
English
@ek_rugby Didn’t help McGrath taking an age at rucks to milk a pen every few mins
English
Some big performances from Leinster tonight to get the win in Belfast - thought Tom Clarkson and Scott Penny were both excellent up front.
Ulster finished strongly, but took 50 minutes to really get going in attack. Hoping those injuries aren't as bad as they looked.

@lukefitz11 Can’t believe the first question he asked was “did the Ulster player jump into the Leinster players face?” Summed up Braces night tonight to be honest
English
Got to be a red - he’s beyond the ball and never off the ground. No malice and unfortunate as it’s not a skill a back rower would be spending time on…amazed ref didn’t pull the trigger

@secondtierpod @WhoScored If it’s who scored, why is Ugbo there?
English
The worst-rated players in the Championship this season according to @WhoScored*
*have made over 15 appearances.
1⃣ Ike Ugbo - 6.07
2⃣ Silko Thomas - 6.09
3⃣ Kyogo Furuhashi - 6.10
4⃣ Kaly Sene - 6.12
➡️ Luke Berry - 6.12
5⃣ Mark Harris - 6.13

@BasilTheGreat @JohnCleese I doubt that’s who they want you to believe was an Anglo Saxon soldier in 1066. This guy was probably born over 900 years later
English
The BBC made a show about the Battle of Hastings
This is who they wanted you to believe was an Anglo-Saxon soldier from 1066

@scrumming_ten Slight disrespect to Bath there, do you not trust in your fellow Saffas JvG and TdT?
English
Who would you like to see Bordeaux face in the Champions Cup final?
English
@CharlieFelix I know it’s not by design, but Leinster always end up on the lucky side of the draw up to the semis, even when they aren’t top seeds 🤯
English
That snaps a run of seven consecutive Champions Cup semi-finals for Toulouse, a day after Leinster made their sixth in a row.
English
@Bart1696844 Even as 3rd seeds they still somehow manage to miss the big European sides until the semis
English
How is it that every year the Champions Cup draw always favours Leinster?
English
@paulmurphy68 The whole thing nearly collapsed as SF wanted all convicted murderers and terrorists released on a pardon, which unfortunately was accepted
English
Unionists had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the peace process, they tried to strangle it at birth over silent IRA weapons.
They've walked away from the GFA and reconciliation.
The UVF-UDA gangsters are still armed and active.
Emma has a credibility problem here...

The Good Friday Agreement was a culmination of work from John Major, Tony Blair, the British Army and many deeply brave people in northern Ireland. You are currently allowing prosecution of the British Army veterans, unlike the IRA, which spits in the face of this legacy.
English
@LeinsterClub And Leinster got there by beating the teams in 9th then 7th in the prem 😜
English
If Bath Finished 2nd in their pool, they would be on the easy side of the draw.
In unrelated news, Bath have got to a semi final by playing teams who finished behind them in their domestic league last year.
