Impressive Ireland, Aviva atmosphere and the Welsh decline

Luke Fitzgerald, Cian Tracey and Will Slattery break down Leinster's dramatic Champions Cup final defeat to Toulouse on the latest episode of The Left Wing podcast.

Poor handling, bad decision making, and some heroic Toulouse defence saw the French side triumph in extra time.

The lads discuss all the major talking points after Leinster's third successive Champions Cup final loss, including the pressure on Leo Cullen and attack coach Andrew Goodman, who is now taking up a role with Ireland.

The URC is still in play for Leinster, but the question is whether they can bounce back from their latest heart-breaking defeat.
