Heineken Cup Final

[Rosco]

I take it I'm the only one watching this while not in the pub ?

I'm a little concerned that Leinster are too well fancied for it, but I do think they are the better team so if they perform they should edge it.

Northampton started well and the pack we're putting Leinster on the back foot right until Healy knocked the shit out of Hartley with a big hit.

Very good 20 mins for Northampton, 7-3 up.

The loosehead they have is a beast.

Bit of a comeback from Leinster! Wish I had of went out to watch it now, instead I'm stuck at home checking the bbc website for the live scores.

This is a proper seesaw battle, Leinster were 22-6 down, now 26-22 up. A lot of great performances on both sides

Another Leinster try, Hines this time. Sexton got the first two.

Incredible turn around.

Leinster fly-half and man-of-the-match Jonny Sexton:

"We struggled first half to get any type of platform. We were shell shocked and we needed leaders at half-time. I said at the break that comebacks happen in finals and used the example of Liverpool in the Champions League. I knew we could come back from the deficit."

 

[Athens]

This could be a good sign for the Ireland team. Sexton had been pretty poor for Ireland until the final 6 nations game against England. With form like what he showed today he could be great. Still needs to work on his kicking though!

Leinster were like 4/1 at HT and was looking about on betfair and thought about putting a few quid on them and watching the second half in the hope of an exciting come back. I did neither. >🙁
