Are Leinster like the All Blacks? Empty Are Leinster like the All Blacks?

Just watching the Leinster v Bath game, and I can't help but draw comparisons to the "cheating" that the likes of mr McCaw et al do all the time. They seem to be continually laying on the wrong side of the ball, albeit for split seconds, but long enough to delay play enough to reform their lines. They also seem to continually getting their hands in the rucks, but apart from Cullen getting binned for slapping someone, they are getting away with it.

Is it because they have won the cup they are untouchable?

Fair play to them, when they get the ball they play some good rugby, but when they are not in possession, they do seem to rely on the dark arts.

Mr Poite seems to be catching them quite often, but not regularly enough!

Does anyone agree? or is it just me?

In what way artful?

I am just saying it as I see it.

It was the same last night with Sarecens v Ospreys - the Saracens players were lying all over the place. Bring back rucking I say and people will soon move out of the way. Wink

You're right Huwball - they are like the All Blacks but not at the breakdown, just take a look at the trys they are scoring, another one for Fitzgerald there.

The All Blacks would be proud of that sort of running rugby.

Leinaster do cheat a bit, they tend to not roll away and go offside a fair bit. They get away with it but every team cheats so you can't give out about that.

I think refs need to be stricter on tacklers rolling away, some make little or no effort to do so. That doesn't necessarily apply to Leinster though.

Shame on both the all blacks and Leinster for being the ONLY TWO TEAMS in the history of rugby to have ever had players that push the boundaries.

From here on in rugby should only be played by those teams that have demonstrably had tea and cakes with the vicar of a weekend.

Alternatively... Bite me.

So you think Leinster being compared to the best side in the world is a insult ? For god sake the guy was paying the province a compliment and you would realise that if you took your blinkers off.

Every team does it. Including Welsh ones. But Leinster's running game does remind me of the All Blacks. It was total rugby. Admittedly against a fairly poor team, but still. Leinster were awesome in attack.

Just a quick reminder that posting in CAPS is
a) against site rules and
b) really annoying
