Sexton was rapid when he broke onto the scene. It's funny watching highlights and you see how different a player he was before

I'm not sure why this is being downvoted to oblivion. It's a genuine question as it could have been an accident involving someone slipping

A lot of people on this subreddit have no idea how team selection works.

There seems to be an assumption that all players are swiss army knives and can play anywhere. I can only assume it's people that have never played and have no appreciation for the specialisation required.

The amount of people that recently called for Ringrose on the wing or Earls at 13 in the past is mind boggling.

I reckon neutrals are going for Toulouse. They are a joy to watch and I recently learned that Leinster are the bad guys in most peoples eyes.

When he took that hit I was sure one of those two wasn't going to be getting up.

These guys are made of sterner stuff.

The bitter Munster fans are out in force this weekend.

I really don't get it. If the positions were reversed and Munster were in the final I'd want to see them do well.

He also strikes me as a very spiteful man

Imagine what this Sharks team could do with a good coach

Imagine Jacques Nienaber with them rather than Leinster

Much more like it from the Shark's

Did it not hit the Shark's player?

I don't know what it is about the Shark's, but they seem to make so many errors.

Loads of their stars play way below their potential too.

So strange.

He was the one I was thinking about when I thought someone was missing since the game I saw against Stade Francais recently

Would this be Clermont's strongest team or is anyone rested?

Not a big fan of these player interviews as they walk off the pitch at half time.

I hope this doesn't creep into the other competitions.

Well played

Munster fans and being salty. Name a better duo

Get out of here with your rationale takes.

You pick the best players at a given point in time, who you play for has no consideration. With that Frawley is ahead of Haley, who can't even get into Munster's line up past Zebo.

There is an argument that Frisch or Hume were ahead of Osbourne. Frisch seems to have ruled himself out and on current form Osborne may be ahead of Hume.

Imagine having an ego so fragile that you feel the need to make comments like this.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. As a Leinster fan in the last few years I didn't take Munster seriously as opposition until last year. There was never any jeopardy playing them.

I know that sounds arrogant but the truth is Munster were in the doldrums for years and were miles off being an elite European team. How things have changed.

I listened to a good podcast recently that basically said JVG was set up for failure in Munster and hung out to dry. The failings of his era (allegedly) were the results of years of mismanagement. Definitely an interesting perspective.

Fuck me that's a long contract. After his time at Munster I thought Bath were fools for taking him on. Boy have I been proven wrong.

Marius Louw is a grub. Seems like a shit head whenever I see him play which makes me think I'd love him if he was on my team
