Well Done !
Ireland deserve the win. there is no dishonour to lose against such a nice squad. And you push us to play our best game. ASM fan congratulations.

And now let's plan the Hcup Final Leinster/ASM ?

It seems ERC has decided to punish POC at a level never ever reached. They could have protected him with a 2 weeks ban, and rather they just told an opponent (say... Jamie Cudmore) that it's OK to kick a ball whatever is between your leg and the ball. Now we need the referee to know that evolution. ...

We will know soon.

(..) Blanco seems to be as influential a power broker as he was brilliant as a player. Blanco's facts : Blanco alters the structure of the gravity field around the balls when it comes to create groups. No other rational explanation has been found since. Influence might be the colloquial equivalent ...

How are Biarritz a number one seed? They are rubbish. They keep getting easy groups and reaching the ko stages. They've also reached a final recently (2010) and won the Amlin (2012). That's 15 ranking points just from those two seasons. An Italian team in their group 8 out of the last 9 seasons. An...

Exeter will collapse after the hour... they did at Michelin. I wouldn't say "be patient" but rather "keep pressure on them". There is only one seat now on the best second bench. Munster or Leinster as there will be no best second between Toulouse or Leicester, and I don't expect ...

it seems we gonna meet again at Clermont-Ferrand

whatever the financial reasons to leave Dublin, I think Sexton would make a mistake going to Racing-Métro. He won't win anything but money. He would be better at ASM :) learning french with Nathan Hines, giving some lesson-to-become-better-10 to Brock James, playing with new world-class Fofana... an...

keep hope... get the win + bonus point to reach 20 pts, then come back again at Clermont-ferrand for the 1/4 final :D To be honest, I think that's very very likely to happen. I think we can be 1st or 2nd and we will meet one of the best 2nd of pool, ie you or Montpellier or Toulouse or Munster. I pr...

whatever is happening on the pitch you MUST be the 16th man... the extra smallest piece of strength when players are exhausted, they get it from you because your encouraging voice is their fuel when nothing else is remaining in the tank. unconditionnaly support. They do their job, we do ours. We di...

Where are all the people who bang on about 'moving all our games to the Aviva' ? ... Well, the ASM fans didn't seem to have a problem with the stadium. When supporters chant at lansdowne road, the noise is deafening. If our fans don't cheer then the atmosphere isn't going to happen, don't think it'...

:lol: :happy clapper: :happy clapper: It's a great line VGE but, as an ASM fan you know this more than most, home advantage counts for a lot :D . Bon match :wink: Yep.... but you know you need to have the right team to keep the home advantage. You have it today, we had too last week. No doubt that ...

... Could it be seen as a discrete coming out ?

Don't want to put a downer on things, but on the issue of fans, was anyone else disappointed by the Clermont supporters? I have to say I wasn't impressed, I know it was a big game with big pressure, but the booing every penalty that went against them was just a bit much. We had the feelings that Mr...

cardiff were poorer, but sarries are no great shakes hopefully asm really do believe that the level required to beat sarries at home is enough Some fans do believe in such way, but not many, and the most important NOT a single one player believe that. We know where is the leinster : on the top of t...

don't know if some post has been done already, and sorry it's in French but have a look here : http://www.asm-rugby.com/120426-drapeaux.html ASM fans will meet at 2:30 pm at street Général de Larminat where buses from Clermont will park. They ask for Leinster fans to join them to walk to the stadium...

Something about jumping if you have someone elses pen

"qui ne saute pas, n'est pas auvergnat !"
"Who doesn't jump is not Auvergnat" Auvergnat is the name of people in Auvergne (one of the 20 regions in France)

Again !
same players, shoot again 2010 in Dublin is a great souvenir ! Hope you will enjoy Bordeaux.

What a magnificent game ! Congratulations Leinster ! The European champion title is well deserved, and even better due to the opposition. Northampton did push you beyond the limits, and you did it ! That was a GREAT match ! In such game, even the loser can be proud. Same as we were last year at RDS ...

Baby is able of outstanding performance... or the crappiest ever possible. He is just unpredictable. You never know if he is on the dark or the bright side of the force. Seems he was on the bright side last two games he played. Anyway, I hope we'll be proud of our team, as we were in April despite t...
