The Heineken Cup Thread

That's why we have coaches, superb half-time turnaround, credit to the coaching staff. Feek obviously had a word with the front row, and Jennings ensured we kept the ball better.

Best 2nd half performance by an Irish team on the international stage ever I'd say.

Awesome

"Ladyboys" no longer, quite simply one of the best teams ever to grace this competition. Well done to all connected. Roll on New Zealand. Poor Stuart barnes

That is a game for the dvd collection. To join Munster in 06 and Liverpool in 05.

Paul Wallace was explaining how it could be done at half-time but they didn't listen to him.

Don't get the slagging of Barnes either, he is about as pro-Irish as any commentator I've heard.

Great stuff by Leinster. They got away with a poor display in the first half by proving how much better they were in the second. They were a 20 point + better team, and are the cream of Europe.

Feck it Sexton was inspired by Liverpool's comeback.

Bring back O'Gara.

That fecker is Liverpool fan as well, probably explains why they both like kicking long balls..

I like Barnes too, very generous to the Irish in his praise. He just likes his rugby and will hype the AP a little but Sky are his paymasters so that's his job.

I think Leinster had a plan for the Northampton scrum but just didn't implement in the first half as they were not as a team mentally prepared for Northampton's intensity.

Oh yea, hello Heineken Cup - Meet Connacht!

Wonder will Munster give Leinster a guard of honour next week, Irish traditions and all that

If it's a tradition I'm sure they will. I don't think there's too much bad feeling down here Dinny, we're more worried about our own future at this stage. We had written this one off to Leinster anyway, as they are clearly the class team in Europe at the moment.

Munster will have to raise themselves hugely to even make a game of it next week..

[Dinny Breen]

Only joking AZ I was liking the HEC to an AI and the Magners to the National league...

Anyhow, hard to know how Leinster will treat next week, if it's even on their radar.

It will be tight but I'd fancy Munster to win but long-term I think a defeat would be better for Munster..

Oh and Sexton is a Liverpool fan surely you must be feeling some love for him now

I always thought Offaly was in Leinster.

Great day for Connacht rugby delighted for them. Well done too to Leinster took them a good few years to get up to speed in Europe but they are a great team now. Billy Keane will be even more  unbearable to listen to but at least all those summers in Listowel paid off today for Sexton.
