Leinster vs Toulon Champions Cup 2026

How was the first half, Paks?

It was good, Leinster dominated but didn't get the points. Had one try disallowed for a tiny JGP knock that might as well have been ignored as his hands never left the ball. Toulon has shown nothing, what you saw just now with them getting stopped dead behind the gain line has been the story in the first as well. They only scored after the Porter card.

5 scrum penalties to Leinster. Looked like Leinster went down that time, but what do I know about scrums.

Sinkler proving yet again how utterly useless he is.

Berry misses another one….hopeless

So I guess the summary is the Frenchies struggling with line speed.

Leinster look very sharp though

New front row for Toulon. And they rock Leinster right away. Gigashvili with the Georgian power.

Toulon break though but then try a stupid pass off the ground

Eh, forced offload from Toulon, maybe should have held it and recycled. That was their first line break most likely., Well, first one of any significance.

This ref looks way too much like Michael Owen

Yeah that offload wasn't on at all.

What a clearance by JGP

Great clearance JGP.

Jammie with a nice take.

Toulon aren't gonna win the ping pong battle.

I can't help it...I can't stand Leinster...Munster is my favorite Irish team, then Ulster, Conach and then some Welsh teams...and then Leinster...IDK why, it's just a natural resentment towards them...crazy.

Toulon starting to make progress in contact now, then Albornoz kicks it away. Leinster shouldn't drop the intensity.

Yeah I'm not sure why, maybe they're too close to an Ireland side? I don't have beef with them, like they way they play.

High tackle penalized, looked like a forward pass from JGP to the carrier though.

I don't know how any person on earth prefers soccer to rugby.

I literally just switch this game in and it's immediately interesting

Leinster with another kickable one to go 14 points clear

He misses

22-11 Leinster

I used to like the Irish...less so these days... probably the same traits irking me as the ones making them dislike us... stubborn pride and rugby entitlement?

Damn that was perfectly weighted by Tommy, good chase Rieko.

lol Draad

I like Irleand and the Irish sides. Their commentators are knobs though.

I think you get entitled fans on all sides and they're usually the most vocal unfortunately.

Toulon's defense has found some teeth in the second half but Leinster building relentlessly.

Probably p!$$es me off the most because they're so damn good...

Geez this is the game here as Toulon desperately defend their line

They hold Leinster off. Not the most imaginative final sequence from Leinster. Lineout 5 from the penalty.

Nicely done Mr Doris

Took the hit and then reached for the line

Another big carry by Porter sets up the stretch for Doris.

All over now...there goes the damn dam wall.

Leinster is tough to keep out in the red zone man, so many tricks up their sleeve.

I guess this means Leinster won't go much further in the URC

You guys gonna check the next game? Bordeaux should be good. Sorry, Bordeaux is tomorrow, Ulster / Exeter next.

Mini Lomu runs through Pretendergast.

Toulon score!

See, it's easy! Just play rugby boys!!!

If they score again in the next 5 mins we are in for a crazy finish

I'm definitely checking Bordeaux and Bath tomorrow, should be a cracker.

That was a Gelant like dummy that one, eh!

JGP gets around on the field, almost feels like he's there to make every third tackle.

Doris steals more than the ball. He steals Toulon's oxygen.

I'm practicing to be an Irish rugby commentator.
