>>67906210
>Wanting Sarries to win
baka
>>67906272
Both Sarries and Leinster will win confirming that England truly is a Muslim country and Ireland truly is West Britain.
>>67906272
im a (based) wasps fan
Daily reminder that Saracens is everything wrong with yurop rugby
>>67906659
How?
>>67906659
>playing to win is everything wrong with yurop ruggers
Crusaders v Saracens game when
>going to Murrayfield later
>first time actually going to a Pro12 Final
feelsgoodman
Do Exeter have much of a chance lads? Am considering placing a bet
>>67907294
>Do Exeter have much of a chance lads?
no
>>67907294
sarries will 1bang them m8
REMINDER THAT
LEINSTER
EXETER
ARE THE OFFICIAL GOOD GUYS FOR TODAY. DO NOT SPREAD LIES THAT OTHER TEAMS ARE GOOD GUYS.
>>67907472
I support Leinster lad and I'm not even under the illusion that we're the good guys.
BASED SARACENS, SAVIOURS OF ENGLISH AND EUROPEAN RUGBY
>>67907081
Rainy weather Saracens win
Sunny weather Crusaders win
>>67907834
Neutral venue with average weather, who wins?
>>67907603
Connacht have been getting refby all year and are only in this position thanks to WC. They will be the least deserving pro12 winners ever.
>>67907981
Think Saracens Tbh
>>67908071
Least deserving Pro12 winner's are whoever played Leinster the week after their back to back Heineken finals.
>>67907834
underestimate crusaders in wet weather desu
theyve had a couple games this season in shit conditions and they usually win whilst scoring some bangers
Somebody must have forgotten to prep Itoje, he's playing shit.
>>67908071
Glasgow fag detected. You were completely outplayed and outmuscled in both games cunt. Now you can watch and enjoy Connacht winning it all.
> this game
> this season
Brits counter attacking better than a fullback
munster reporting in. dont really give a fuck who wins but i suppose it would be nice for connacht
Ouh moy gawd poastin on moy oyphone roight.
>Wugby
Why is euro /rug/ so dead?
>>67908285
(You)
>>67908438
euro rug is dead because saracens dominates with their shit rugby
>Exelel
Would be nice to see Connacht win. Bonus as I'm an Ulster fan, but I can't see Leinster being beaten.
Also Exeter Chiefs fan my whole life.
>>67908452
There are more Aussies in Super /rug/ threads but they don't care about rugby, apparently.
>>67908465
Bet you've never stood for the ulstermen in your life
>>67908438
No one cares about the Premiership Final lad, it's basically a one team league and its credentials have been severely undermined by a team like Exeter making the final.
>>67908515
I was born standing up for the Ulster men.
Connachtão da massa
>>67908438
How different would things be if England won the World Cup?
>>67908518
Remind me how many Irish teams got out of their group this year in the champions cup?
>>67908609
Brexit would succeed and New Zealand and Australia would have reverted to dominion status.
>>67908633
EVERYONE knew the Irish teams would do poorly after the WC due to how it affects their pre-season.
I don't mean to be condescending (condescending means to look down upon btw) but are you a casual?
>>67908728
Other teams weren't affected by the WC?
>>67908795
Yes they were.
>>67908795
Irish clubs have less depth than the Premiership clubs despite only having 4 (four) teams.
>>67908518
But Connaught getting to the Pro 12 final enhances the leagues credentials?
You boys ready for a bit of Máire?
>>67909137
Yee coz Connacht are good. Beating last years winners twice in two weeks would certainly suggest that.
EXETER \o/
>>67909197
Exeter topped their Champions Cup group. They're not exactly bad.
>>67909149
whats her arse game like?
>>67909249
By one point
>>67909249
Didn't have the same disruption as Pro12 teams though.
This Exeter comeback
Fucking Sarries
>>67909691
Because England went out in the groups?
What a cunt Ashton is
rugby should be so entertaining but its often quite dull
>>67909980
Rugby is essentially a homo-erotic glorified egg and spoon race.
>>67909873
Because England is a meme
>>67910013
I wouldn't have it any other way
Time for a quick wank.
>>67910682
Can't I'm at the Rugby club.
>>67910746
I suppose there are WCs in thy club.
>>67910970
what's the point in wanking if you can't watch the lads too?
>>67911107
CCTV. It's UK.
And we're off, predictions? I'm guessing Leinster will take it but, despite myself, I'd be happy to see Connacht do it.
>>67911304
Connacht 11x9 Leinster (AET)
WEW
So Munster are now firmly the worst province?
CONNAUGHCHT
Connacht 7 - 0 Leinster
>>67911567
Weird, huh?
Better province is which one has most proficiency in gaelic.
Is that Nigerian kid with Connacht Irish qualified?
>>67911868
It's Zebo lad.
Nothing better than watching a stodgy >muh structure team get ripped to shreds by a team who actually have the balls to go wide
that whole last passage from connacht was pretty much rugby league
>>67911868
Yep, raised in Dublin
Connacht would win the Aviva "Premiership" at a waltz.
>>67912198
Is he in the squad going to SA? Ireland could really use some good wingers
>Dave Kearney
The quality of rugby from Leinster has been exceptionally poor. Are they pissed or something?
Awful pass.
>>67912522
Yet Schmidt and his blue cap have picked more Leinster players than Connacht ones to tour in the summer
>>67912697
Several of the Leinster players have been shown up by their opposite numbers who are in the Ireland squad. Especially the Kearneys.
>>67912895
Rob Kearney has always been average and overrated. Dave Kearney is just Rob without the hype
>>67912895
Yea we get the Kearney brothers which means no Payne at FB and No Healy or Gilroy on wing.
>>67912951
>Rob Kearney has always been average and overrated.
Nah, but for the past few years yeah.
Average Dave has always been decidedly average.
>>67912895
O'Halloran storming past Rob Kearney for that try should send off some alarm bells, but muh high balls and muh Lions means Kearney will always be number 1.
>>67913083
O'Halloran doesn't look bad under the high ball.
It's the bloody blue hat Schmidt hasn't taken it off since he left Leinster.
please don't tell me connacht won
lfwrlabm
That break from the hooker
Connacht being compared to New Zealand.
They are just that good.
The USA no. 10 literally outplaying the Irish no. 10.
What a kick lad
>>67913663
Addendum: if only he could place kick.
>>67913663
AJ is Irish tho.
He should've stayed at home ;_;
Ginger SOB is having a good half
>>67913137
Schmidt has been exposed as a meme coach. Leinstertainment was just a bad dream
>>67913515
Okay we won't tell you when it happens
2 harsh decisions against Leinster I think.
>>67913852
They're still the second best team tho.
Should've been a try tho.
Leinster resorting to killing the opposition
Kek @ those boos.
Leinster lad here. No problem losing to Connacht in the Final. Especially when we were comfortably second best.
Well done to the Connacht lads.
Connacht actually did, the absolute mad men.
Those tears
That emotion
What are the odds on Newport Gwent Dragons for next season lads?
Who else is driving down to Galway for the party tonight?
>>67915772
https://youtube.com/watch?v=WlRhzRsAHQw
Fucking disgusting.
>Connacht will go into the champions cup next season as number 1 seed
>the fucking state of our league
>>67913663
AJ is pretty good Tbh
JUST
>>67906659
>Saracens
>Not Toulon
>Not Bath
>Not Racing
>Not fucking Montpellier
At least Saracens have produced guys from their academy and their starting team is mostly English. I do fucking hate Nigel Wray though.
>>67909255
Hard to know. She only ever seems to cover Connacht games so she's always wrapped up all snug.
She makes me want to learn Irish tbqph. Gaeltacht girls are traddy as fuck, and there are actually a few qts in Donegal, Galway and Kerry. Clare and Mayo girls a shit though.
>>67920881
This Tbh. Saracens have a pretty average squad when you compare it to Toulon/Racing etc. A few cuntish players but they play damn well together.
>>67916535
It's done by league standings though isn't it? So Leinster would be the Pro 12 top seed
>treating Connacht as Treviso or Zebras
>>67905983
RIP in piece
>>67923309
No it isn't. Scarlets, Munster and Zebre were entered as 5, 6 and 7 while the top 4 were all TBD before the semi-finals.
