Can Leinster win the double?
- Thread starter Purple
- Start date
Good match on Saturday.
Munster were really up for it and held back Leinster in the first half and the first 10 minutes of the second half. After that the Leinster tank was empty and Munster could have scored more.
Some bad tactical decisions from Leinster in the first half meant that they threw away what chances they had.
Great to see Felix Jones and Conor Murray coming through so strongly for Munster. They were both superb. Paul O'Connel was back to his very best.
The game was palyed in a good spirit (with the notable exception of Marcus Horans off the ball shoulder charge on O'Driscoll).

BOD should have been looking where he was going
Really impressed by Felix Jones, especially defensively, some great tackles. Can't help wondering if Sexton had been on the Heino all week given that first kick of his. Full marks to hayes as well, Examiner are suggesting this morning that it might have been his last game, if so, great way to go out
+1. He was very good. MacFadden played really well too..a lot better at tackling that Darcy IMO. Noticed Marcus Horan crying after the match...last "big" game for Munster?
Thought the biggest find this season could end up being Conor Murray. He seems to have the physique and the skills to be a top scrum half. Felix Jones also looks like a real player and is an interesting option at full back if Murphy and Kearney don't get fit but the world cup is not really the place for a novice full back. McFadden I think is really unlucky not to be first choice for Leinster. I have to say, the future of Irish Rubgy is a lot brighter than it was earlier in the season. Munster deserved the victory but Leinster deserve huge credit for the effort they put in a week after winning the Heineken Cup. They showed the league huge respect. The Scottish and Welsh teams could learn a lot from looking at them.
