Just off a classic game against Calvisano with Leinster in the Heineken Cup. After beating Leicester 12-8 i was fairly confident in beating the Italians, so I rearranged my team, making quite a few changes, especially a reshuffling of the backs, bringing in Warner, O'Meara, Quinlan, Holwell, Brown and Norton. After four minutes I was expecting the game to be fairly straightforward, after Warner scored and Holwell slotted home the conversion, and this was reinforced with two tries from Holwell and Gordon D'Arcy, the one remaining back from the victory in Leicester. Things all began to change in the second half, when Shane Jennings misjudged the restart from Fisher and allowed Mazzucato to run home for a try in the corner, which Fisher was more than happy to convert. Holwell then played a poor drop-out which Gary Brown mistimed a jump for, and Raynero was offloaded to, to score the try. It was a war of attrition from then on in to the final whistle with neither teams able to find a breakthrough, but this could all have changed right on 80 minutes. James Norton received a kick inside his own 22, and grubber kicked toward the touchline. The ball failed to reach its target of touch though, and was picked up by a Brescia back. After going through the phases and with the Leinster support sweating, the ball found itself to Fraser and then to Raynero who looked certain to tie the game and give Fisher a chance to convert and snatch a famous win. They reckoned though, without Des Dillon, who put in a mega hit on the Italian three-quarter. Gary Brown scooped up and thrashed the ball out of play, and the final whistle blew.
