Leo has hit it on the head, it's knock-out rugby. So Northampton were nervy in the 1st half and showed in high handling error count, they should have had a try but for bad pass to Ramm on the wing but once Courtney Lawes worked hard at the rucks in the 2nd half that gave them more ball in hand and got their attack game going which meant they pushed Leinster close to the edge near the end. Well done to Phil Dowson and Co. and Northampton team for a tight match and good contest. It was good to see his team play. know now what all the talk is about in England re Northampton Saints players being selected for England team. After we beat La Rochelle in the quarter finals with big score difference it was the type of competition Leinster needed before the final. Some players will need more match time before the final.

I have to say, does Caelen Doris know it was a rare occasion not particularly because of the venue (which we appreciate the venue allowing rugby in giving us the opportuity to fill with a higher capacity of supporters and you guys the opportunity to perform there) but mostly it was filled because we're doing our best in pushing you guys onto the final and hopefully, fingers crossed the Champions Cup win. I sat beside lovely people who drove up from Wexford and know of longtime Leinster supporters who drove up from Kilkenny to attend and others who came from the other side of Wicklow. Thats what this venue is associated with, supporters making long road trips to support their county teams, since it's the culture associated with the venue. Nobody has ever grumbled or made a Hoo Ha about it over the years. Or another way of saying it is putting money where mouths are in a quiet unassuming way. Still it was nice to mingle the two sports cultures together and credit to the EPCR for the idea. And want to say you guys did the occasion and the support justice on Saturday so well done for that performance. Its most certainly wasn't just about a bunch of supporters crossing the river to the other side for a rugby semi final. Got it now Caelen?

Next few league games just might see Crowley being prepped to start at 10 in the final. Though it is also plausible that RB now has this less than perfect performance out of his system. Remember, he was player of the match in the last game.

And yet, Leinster relied on Sexton for so long that they even forgot how hit and miss a goal kicker he was - in Both Shirts - blue and green. His career tally is respectable but, boy, did he give us all some nervy games when his boot often went AWOL.

Pretty bad performance in the second half. Don’t mind the the blitz defence being brought in to the team but let’s not start trying to turn Leinster into South Africa and shut up shop when we’re winning by 10 points with 40 minutes to go. Ridiculous.

Very disappointed in Leinster. I'd heard all the hype, was expecting something special but turned out they are very ordinary. Home advantage, 80,000 fans, Saints missing Ludlam, Sleighthome, Pearson, Hutchinson, and lets be honest, weren't at their best but still came within 3 points of an "upset".
@paulennis299628 күн бұрын
Northampton are the Prem leaders and England's best attacking team. Leinster went to sleep with 15 mins to go and only woke up at 20-17 (thank goodness they did) and RB did not have a good day from the tee. But Leinster were also missing James Ryan, Garry Ringrose and Hugo Keenan who are all starting Irish Internationals & probable Lions. Only for a depth chart matched by no other, Leinster would have missed them alot more than Northampton missed their injured players.
