Jamie Cudmore's rocking a fairly outrageous pair of boots for the Champions Cup final

A second row has no business wearing such flamboyant footwear.

IS THERE ANYTHING to be said for a pair of classic Puma Kings? The Halcyon days of old school all-black boots are long gone but Jamie Cudmore is really pushing the boundary of unacceptable taste and decency with his Champions Cup final footwear.

The bruising Clermont second row is known for his strong work in the tight but perhaps he is trying to channel the skills of his colleagues outside him with these boots.

Clermont and Toulon have a lot of flamboyant rugby players in their ranks so there are definitely going to be a few more ostentatious boots on display. Former Mayo forward Conor Mortimer would approve.

    Even when on the bench he didn’t get game time. The coach doesn’t like or trust him. Saturday once again showed just how wrong O’connor has been all season

    O’Connor is just all wrong for Leinster.

    He has a very big chance next season with Leinster during the World Cup, midfield won’t be as competitive so he should get a good run of matches.

    Mark if Darcy doesn’t make the World Cup squad, he’ll play 12 with t’eo at 13. Then Madigan and sexton will be back so the midfield won’t be as easy to get into as you may think

    It’s always to easy to see who coaches ‘just like/don’t like’. When Gopperth played badly it was ignored whereas when Madigan played mediocre or even if Reid played well decisions went against them.

    It creates such a poisonous culture as some players start to feel entitled to spots and others feel it doesn’t matter how well they play they won’t get picked. Cody and Fergusson were masters at disregarding players identities and judging on match performance alone. MOC is such a stink manager.
