Football on Off the Ball.

You know, I care too much about the state of Scottish football.

Like, I want to see entertaining stuff, and it was entertaining regardless of the outcome at the weekend.

And Celtic happened to win, and I know a lot of people who support Celtic, so I was happy to see them happy.

Welcome along to Monday's Rugby Daily, I'm David Wilson.

Coming up today we look back on a huge weekend of European rugby as both Leinster and Ulster come up short.

There's a return of an Irish number 10 to these shores as Carberry confirms his route back to Leinster and Cheslin Colby confirms his return back to South Africa.

Leinster were beaten 41-19 by Bordeaux Begla at San Mames in Bilbao on Saturday afternoon in the Champions Cup final.

It's a fifth defeat in the final for Leinster since the last of their four titles in 2018.

And while those previous final losses were competitive matches decided on fine margins, this is no such thing.

Leo Cullen's side had no answers for the pace and skill of their opponents, who with relentless energy under the blazing sun left Leinster chasing shadows in the first half as they carved up Jack Nienaber's defence for five tries in the half before cruising their way to a second Champions Cup title.

After the game, speaking to her own Susanna Mollen, Leinster captain Cailin Dorris said that the French side were just too good for them, especially in that opening period.

Okay, Cailin, commiserations.

How are you feeling after that?

Just how big of a factor was the heat?

Because it can't be denied that they're a team from the south of France.

Obviously they were excellent today, but that must have been really difficult conditions to play in.

Sorry, I'm looking at my notes here.

It's obviously five in a row that you've lost now, and I think some fans are going to be disappointed, angry, as they always are after these kind of big losses, and they're going to be calling for change.
