Lions v Leinster URC 2026 1/4 finals

Cumon Leeeus!

Looks like a good day for it.

Lions starting brightly but get turned over in the middle of the field.

They won't win this but if Mahashe flattens the Pretender once I'll settle for that.

Lions can't blame the conditions today if they kick the skin off the ball.

James the man-bun Lowe just shoved Mahashe....die man soek a poesklap

Ja I saw that.

Leinster already finds space wide. Prenny being talked up as the best passer in the modern game.

Bloody Irish commentators

Lions splitting the Leinster front row but Leinster getting the feed again.

The F ref? Leinster all pop up in the scrum and get dominated but he calls a reset!?!?!?

Eish, Lions defense look patchy.

I find my dislike of Leinster is greater than my dislike of the most overrated team in the comp (certainly on this board) so let me just say it and get it over and done with . . . Come on Lions!

As I type that, Dan Sheehan is over for Leinster.

Sheehan over. Ominous signs.

Eish, Leinster score their first.

I thought Mahashe had stolen that

Howzit Rooi. Hard to call them overrated when they dominated most of the attacking stats in the competition. They are bad travellers though. And they lack depth.

Any team that has Lowe in it needs the team bus driven off a cliff. Pretender is just the cherry on the cake

Overrated bunch of posers if you ask me . . . but what the heck, hope they spring a surprise here.

Bullshit he jumped to catch the ball! Had already caught it and then jumped.

Yes, James Lowe makes it hard to like Leinster . . . but he's not the only one. Good defence Lions to save a try there.

Excellently held up. He really should scored there

That pass from Reek-ou was forward though

Keenan is in. Not sure I'm going to make it through this.

Egh, Lions have no idea how to deal with Leinster. Not sure what they were working on in training but they clearly didn't figure anything out.

Eish another try for Leinster

To be fair, I think Leinster's budget is about 30 to 50 times that of the Lions

And now Quan makes a mistake

Can these commentators get off the Pretenders dick for two minutes? Nauseating

Lowe looks like one of those guys that think people are always looking at him.

Now they're on Nienaber's case as well. Jacques should just come back to SA, fuck the Irish.

Look at how long that bloody ref took to give that scrum penalty.

Half of the Leinster pack weren't even bound anymore before he blew the whistle

Lions keep playing into contact and Landsberg drops it.

Ref looks out of his depth. That jumping call on Sheehan was pathetic in how wrong it was.

Nice...Lions getting some momentum

I wanna see Batho break Pretender in half

Lions locks may be their weakest link. They don't seem at the physical level required for this.

Why the F do you kick that away Smit!?

Be nice if the touch judge could actually see Leinster's entire backline being off side

Lowe the Lions best player at this point. That was another try.

Lions getting bamboozled way too easily by the Leinster set moves.

Jirre, Smith kicking it directly into touch twice in a row

Doris through Landsberg. Pap locks.
