yeah i did and they should have but Saints have been below par this year so didn't see this coming. They have some fantastic players and I love their backline but all I could see was a plucky English 2nd best. So back to my qn , what now for Leinster.

don't give a shit about the pundits tbh! Would i have put a fiver on Saints winning at the Aviva? Nope,never- I'd have ever bought myself another pint and enjoyed the game

hey I'm not knocking that - English club rugby is by comparison struggling. But club v regional rugby is not a fair comparison- regional rugby never worked in England, nor arguably has it in Wales. but in Ireland it has, and fair play for doing that, whatever the terms

yes am Bath member and obviously this season been ok but I'd take every one of the Saints backline - Freeman in particular I think astonishing

yeah not getting into that - Saints are a decent side but no way were they favourites today. The purported quality of the Leinster side should have been more than good enough today so what is it that's holding them back? As for Sarries ... don't get me started ...

think too early to say that but give him a couple of years! Back to the start tho - where do Leinster go from here?

probably wrong!! but I do think Sam P could be truly world class if given time to develop - do not think the Lions pressure would help him in any way at this stage

yeah i do - before 6N I'd have said Russell but, and I'm a Bath member, I'm not sure now. I thought Finn Smith introduction to England too early but he's been brilliant. But .... I suspect Farrell will go Russell 1st Test then change for 2nd. Qn i guess, assuming he takes 3 #10s, who the 3 will be

fine, we disagree and that's ok! good discussion tho. Farrell (Dad) must be confused as after today tho - a few played themselves in, a few out
