Bernard Jackman: Despite the dramatic nature of the win, Leinster's performance was far from perfect
"After this Champions Cup classic against La Rochelle, I think there is now a definite debate over the Leinster number 10 shirt"
"The TV commentator was right when he said: "It's only a group game, but really it's much more than that.""
"If only Leinster could play La Rochelle every week. I am not sure Andy Farrell or the Leinster health insurers would be over the moon, but for the rest of us, we would be entertained."
The Champions Cup clash between Leinster and La Rochelle produced a classic that intensified scrutiny of the Leinster number 10 shirt. The fixture elevated a group-stage match into a high-stakes encounter with selection implications. A television commentator framed the encounter as more than a routine game, capturing its wider significance. The match showcased exceptional skill and tactical nuance, offering significant entertainment value. Frequent matchups between these teams would likely draw strong interest, though concerns about player workload and managerial or medical reactions accompany the prospect of repeated high-intensity contests.
