Leinster were undoubtedly worse in this years comp though. The World Cup took it's toll but I think it was more of a case of taking time to adapt to Cullen and co. rather than injuries. Leinster have improved consistently since after the Bath match to the point where we've just beaten Munster, Connacht and Ospreys on the trot and done it with ease, this is far more reminiscent of the Schmidt era than MOC's and has me very satisfied despite not having European rugby after the six nations. It also puts a certain user whose name begins with F's petty squabble with me into a further realm of pettiness considering Leinster and Toulouse are in almost the exact same position in their respective domestic league!
