I'm hoping for a Sarries v RCT Final
Mainly so I get to see some past and present England players in Cardiff, but in truth I be just as happy with any of them as I'm a rugby fan at the end of the day.  Very Happy

Nah..better off. We all know who the real leader will be. Good call imo as Varley will still question the ref but is not as in your face as POC (who seems to have a tendency to annoy them these days).

Or maybe its because Varley is the one who is usually giving away the silly penalties so he will be right on the spot for discussing them with Wayne...  Whistle

It was great. It was just all these English people who were totally baffled. It's amazing how little just your average person in the street knows about rugby in London I found. They didn't know why we were there and what was going on, and this was all just minutes walk from Twickenham.

No, just an illustration of the difference between London and any city in Ireland. Any big sporting event like that would be the talk of the country in the weeks leading up to it, even if it didn't involve Irish teams at all. People were just walking around in London in 2012 completely and utterly bemused at all the rugby fans. They had no idea about what was happening.

I'm intrigued by that, Notch. Surely most of the 'people on the street' one minute from Twickenham would have been heading to the game.

Anyhow, I should get back to the pub after the Wasps game to watch this one. I will probably miss a good chunk of Saturday's game as I'll be watching Ealing v Rotherham.

All day in London we were approached by people who saw us in our gear and wanted to know what on earth was going on- not in the sense it was any bother, they were perfectly friendly. Just curious as to what was going on with all the hard drinking colour coded Irish people. It was bizarre. Stopped by confused locals three or four times!

Most of them would have been tourist in London.

Plus rugby isn't a major sport in England.


Good luck to all the teams taking part in the euro semi's this weekend, all deserve to be there and have earned the right to be respected by all rugby fans, hope you all have great weekends following your teams. Very Happy

very few cities have as many people in or as much going on as London. And rugby is really not particularly popular in London. saw recent census data for 2011 which showed that London now has over 1 in 3 of its population born overseas, and over 50% who do not consider themselves British. I think that explains why rugby is least popular in London compared to anywhere else in the UK, and how 80,000 irishmen in rugby shirts could be a mystery to so many.

I can understand it in central London, Notch. It's very much a draw for theatre goers, diners, night clubbers, culture and sightseers. - I.e. a lot more going on than in most Irish towns and cities.

I would be surprised if more than 1 in 50 people in London had any interest in rugby.

The way sport is organised in Ireland based around counties and provinces will inevitably wed it to the general population in a parochial way.

Good post Hound. I believe if the HC final was held in Paris even between 2 french clubs, 80% of the people wouldnt have a clue of whats going on and 10% would probably think it's the T14 final!

Anyway, let's hope it is a good weekend of rugby free of controversial referee decision and good luck to all teams and fans. Will re connect on monday Smile

whocares - The irony is the final should have been in Paris this year Smile

Back on topic, if Munster show the same intensity and physicality in defence and the same clinical finishing they brought to the game against Toulouse, then they have every chance of turning over Toulon.

For the leinster v northampton final i had a friend from ireland staying in my house in south london but he couldnt get his head around the fact that when he talked about 'the match' to londoners that they didnt know what he was talking about and
assumed he meant football which he found perplexing and annoying. In the end i had to explain that in a city of approx 10million people that rugby was a minority sport and that on any given weekend there were multiple big sporting events on...mind you i did wait quite a while before i told him as listening to the exchanges was very funny

Yes.

Should I be friendly and invite my Toulon supporting friend (who doesn't have Sky) to join us to see the game? I am conflicted on this. It would be a nice gesture, but could I cope if they win?

Kids, and everyone is banished from the house on Sunday. I am being abstemious tomorrow and intend to settle down with beer and remote for Sunday afternoon. I was hoping to go but it was not feasible. I have been promised solitude for Sunday

BM,
First congrats on your new arrival and I hope she allows you a decent night's sleep tomorrow so that you can watch the game in relative peace. Also, that her first rugby game will be utterly memorable.

more from a leadership aspect in my opinion given who he has selected, What Dougal is capable of doing at the breakdown and the presence of CJ means we can deal with it far more effectively. We have about 3 good carriers in the pack could do with one more but you're sacrificing TOD for Dougal in defence.

Possibly but our worst part of the Toulouse game was the 20-25 mins  after POM went off.  

Also losing TOD in the centrefield which he patrols effectively is an issue (Gears try).

Having said that CJs tackling stats are outstanding so to be clear given POMs injury he is the obvious choice....but its definitely weaker.

I think some of that has to be put down to the shock of losing POM and also Toulouse coming into it. We'll lose more from a leadership standpoint (how big an impact POM has you can't really say unless you're playing)


Nerves are building a bit, Cork City were playing last night so that's a distraction and there's some club rugby today that I might watch (Cork Con made an underage final DOD, it happened!) but otherwsie it's a bit torturous!

Not  sure if anyone is watching the Saracens Clermont semi final but its been a good match so far.

Weird decision there though, James sent for ten and a penalty try awarded for what looked like a perfectly decent attempt at a catch...

Toulon v Saracens final will be the last ironic tick in the box for Ritchie, McCafferty & Co. as they call time on the H Cup.

Normal service has resumed.

I hope the Munster defensive coaches watched the Sarries match yesterday and took some notes. That performance yesterday is exactly the way to frustrate and beat those teams.

Got the beer in, herself has made an appointment at the time of the match so I get to sit in, have a few beers and enjoy the match with Munster winning.

Not expecting a win today but there is that little feeling that Munster will. It could also be the early beers affecting my judgment somewhat as well...

If the team feel the same fear as they did before the Toulouse game it will work in our favour...we need a fast start, get in their faces and make them doubt themselves from the beginning. ...

Strong defence is the key for the first 20 I feel, Toulon will throw everything at Munster in the first 20.

We made the mistake last year of "hanging on" and when it got to the 60th minute we were five mins short of winning. Trying to hold on against Toulon would be a disaster I feel...of course Toulon might have something to say about that...

I would love that ME but I really think that Toulon will go hell for leather and with good defence, Munster will frustrate them and then attack.

Hope that Stander puts in another big performance.
