Hard to see past home advantage today for me. But finals are fickle beasts as Glasgow proved last year. Would love to see the Brumbies go to the final too, some good prep for the BIL

Lovely kick pass from Russell
Wife is out for lunch with friends. I've got no plans apart from rugby. Big day on the sofa ahead!
Yup, just watched the opening Le Mans lap, and now tuned into the Prem
Everyone looks knackered. I wonder if we should try to end the seasons earlier before summer rolls around. The heat looks like it is creating handling errors.
I did read 30C in London today, Dublin expect will be much colder
Scrappy first half, it's not really going to the script I imagined. Conditions look tough.
Bath bench will put the game away in the last quarter I think.
Bath with the upper hand first half in most areas I thought. Leicester lucky to even get their 7!
Russell has to be starting ten. So good today
dat interception tho
Dan Cole ya dirty cheat!
The Bulls are looking more like calves here early doors. Still plenty to go, but 14 down means they need to buck up ideas fast
Leinster look like they are constantly offside between phases and are always interfering at the ruck. The way they play on the edge of legality is outrageous. Suspect it only works because refs buy into the narrative of them being the winners on paper.
You wanna win, you gotta play on the edge, that's professional sport. Be it Max Verstappen or Leinster. I wish Scotland played tighter to the laws too
No half time bonus point for Leinster st least, but think I may switch back to Le Mans before the end
Happy to see Finn get some silverware at last. Arguably someone of his talent should have won a lot more by this point.
Yes, great finish to match too. I thought Bath had fucked it. Lets see if Leinster can do their best to throw this away now. Poor show that the prem was on fta but URC isn't
Did you think the last pass Russell made after the interception was unnecessary? It looked like he wanted to be under the posts for the conversion but my pals think he was showboating.
He was getting chased, made sense to me. Risky though, he could have made it himself I'm sure too
