First topic message reminder :

The winners of the last 3 HC's face off on Sunday in the QF on French soil.

Toulon have a few injuries but have squad jammed with internationals so they won't be weakened much.

Just off the back of a cracking win over Toulouse where little Freddie ran the show scoring a try, 2 conversions and 6 penalties to bag a handsome 27 points.

Leinster's win over Munster was, a more sedate affair, scoring only 1 try, and resting their top carrying threat Cian Healy.

Leinster haven't exactly been firing on all cylinders lately (despite winning their last 10 games in a row) but the Northampton game this year will give them the confidence that they can pull out a result.

Should be a cracker.

Leinster under MOC rely on playing at a tempo too high for their opponents. When that doesn't happen, they don't have much to give. Looks like that's what's going on here. Looks like Ireland under kidney

We are growing here. They haven't met anyone like us yet and its showing now.

Ja, I know, they are deadly all over the field and could do it in a flash... But.

awesome match so far.

maybe because it was knocked on into him rather than the player ahead deliberately catching it or picking it up

We have em up front. Unreal, considering. And that will only get worser for them. Wait until ya see our 2nd-string frontrow. We shackled em, told them the Frogs stole their steaks and put oodles of girlie sauce on them. We haven't  fed them for weeks. Not best pleased.
