Doesn't look likely, I might actually tip Exeter for this one they got very close last time and this is at home

This will be hard but if any team can do it we can.

EDIT:
LEINSTER:
15: Rob Kearney
14: Isa Nacewa
13: Brian O'Driscoll
12: Gordon D'Arcy
11: Luke Fitzgerald
10: Jonathan Sexton
9: Eoin Reddan
1: Cian Healy
2: Richardt Strauss
3: Mike Ross
4: Leo Cullen CAPTAIN
5: Devin Toner
6: Kevin McLaughlin
7: Sean O'Brien
8: Jamie Heaslip
REPLACEMENTS:
16: Sean Cronin
17: Heinke van der Merwe
18: Michael Bent
19: Rhys Ruddock
20: Shane Jennings
21: Isaac Boss
22: Ian Madigan
23: Fergus McFadden

Certainly a team to do it. Wonder are they thinking Ruddock or McLaughlin as pack up lock.

You might be right!!

Cracking game for the unattached!

Poite doesn't really seem interested in the breakdown here.

Poite doesn't really seem interested in the breakdown here.

He's a sack of shite.

 

[big ginger 8]

He's a sack of shite.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's letting Leinster get away with the same, though (the amount of times a Leinster hand has appeared from the bottom of a ruck to roll the ball away...)

 

[Tony Manx]

But that is nothing new....he lets the game flow and everyone knows that.

If Leinster, who are usually very ref smart, are not playing to that then they have not done their homework.

They are losing as they are being out fought and not because of Poite................bear also in mind Exeter have lost one of, if not the, best players who could take advantage of that very situation at breakdown!

I hasten to add that I want Leinster to win and qualify as I believe that they have been one of the best teams in Europe and suffered too many injuries this season..................

No everything's against us.

 

[McTallshort]

Come on Exeter! great first half expect a massive blue wave in the next 40.

 

[big ginger 8]

Good try.

 

[Tony Manx]

Yes they have raised the tempo......play like this and cannot see Exeter coming back?

 

[lucky number 7]

I really think Exeter are killing the ball far far too much on the floor..getting away with blue murder Leinster are the ones playing all the rugby IMO

 

[dasNdanger]

Missed the first half, but joined in just at the second. That was a nice try - well-fought.

[SelimNiai]

Barnes and Harrison's complete love in with Leinster is pathetic really. Barley giving Exeter any credit for their efforts so far

 

[lucky number 7]

Where was Leinsters Penalty try for a similar offence...What a sack of poo.

 

[big ginger 8]

Yep Heaslip is useless.

Good work by SO'B holding the 7.

 

[McTallshort]

Heaslip with the bonus....as long as they can win
