Celebration and devastation.
Leinster’s Champions Cup hopes were ended after a 100-minute arm wrestle with reigning champs Toulon, at Stade Vélodrome, on Sunday.
While the Toulon players celebrated in their dressing room, the mood, across the corridor, was sombre.
Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell toasted to success [and Mitchell demonstrated a horrid aim].
100 games for Toulon = 100 minute game.. Merci a tous pour votre soutien & vos msg #HighElbow pic.twitter.com/NulxhLHRFm

Leinster Rugby tweeted this out, shortly before they boarded a CityJet plane for home.
The lads gave their all. When the dust has settled… We’ll regroup and go again. #COYBIB #BattleWithNoRegrets pic.twitter.com/ZA7LhEIL8M
