RTÉ Rugby Podcast · Leinster go back to back and who will replace Leo Cullen in 2027? · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

Well, I think you can, Neil.

I mean, that's what made me... I remember last week you asked me, is it going to be bittersweet watching this final?

And, you know, I was wondering to myself, wonder what would happen.

And I did say, I think the Bulls are much better off this year than last year, based on the fact that they had so many injured players back.

Squad was definitely stronger.

I mean, I said to you guys last week as well, they're in a happy place.

The players asked for some changes, which they got.

But then, you know, I felt after the game that some things, you know, there's a wonderful saying that the more things change, the more things stay the same.

And Leinster, I've said it to you many times, Bernard, I mean, I'm not a fan of Leinster just because I'm trying to win awards, but Leinster are the benchmark.

You know, Leinster...

I was looking at that game thinking there's only one URC team that really has a chance to win the Champions Cup.

Only one.

Yes, we all believe we can and we all have these motivational talks about we want to play in Europe and win European Cups.

But Leinster, out of all the URC teams, is the one team that can and have.

And so it showed again, you know, no Porter, no Baird, no Sneeman, no Will Connors, no Paddy McCarthy, you know, and yet they still go and win a back to back final, having had to give players away for Six Nations.

I think what I got out of that is we're going to have to fight fire with fire.

I mean,

I said to my mates after the weekend that not one South African side made the top eight in Europe and not one South African side made the Challenge Cup playoffs either.

So when you put that in perspective, Leinster are always going to be too much in Ireland for any touring side from South Africa.

No, it didn't.
