That's the concern now, Frank, isn't it... I'm gurgling with delight here, went and watched the game this morning and I've been floating on a cloud all day...
Best leinster performace I've ever seen and the worst Munster performance I've ever seen. Leinster fully deserved the win. I hope they go all the way now. ...
Fair dues. Better team won and there can be no excuses from Munster. Finish the jobs lads! ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Won't pretend I'm not gutted - agree, no excuses. Outplayed, out-thought, outfought. Congrats to Leinster, go all the way. From: Colin Burkley Sent: Sunday,...

Let me join the chorus - well done Leinster! No complaints from Munster. I'd like to think it was a blip and that the red (and blue) Lions do us proud in SA...
One thing I've always wanted is for these kind of matches to be emphatic results, no dubious referee decisions no lucky breaks. Well I guess I got my wish!! ...

Hi Stu.................Yes, Quinnie certainly has done himself few favours on the basis of the TV footage. As one who has defended him against some of the...

Hi Myles it seems the minimum sanction, if found guilty would be 12wks. Any guilty verdict would rule him out of the Lions tour altogether. Cheers stu ...
Incidentally, I have a load of Leinster fans in the office looking for tickets for the final. Any lads looking to offload tickets, give me a shout by direct...
erm...I'm looking for tickets too (for myself and Michael)...seeing as it will probably be a lottery for us Leinster season ticket holders. Looking like a one...
