    What a turn around at HT. Cheika really got it right with the substitutions and especially the positional switches.

    The rookie backs showed serious defesive weakness but with the usual attacking potential associated with Leimnster backs.

    Phil takes charge again excellent kicking display from Tee and the surprise rise and rise of Bernard 'cant throw for ****e' Jackman. Threw well but again amazing about the pitch.

    Shame to drop the BP to Scarlets but Regan King also looks up to his rep.

    The game was won by the coach I think, the changes just were excellent. :cool:

    What the hell is Phil gonna do with all the MoM awards?!

    Stuck in work for the match - with a ticket waiting at home for me. Drrr!! :mad: Surprise win I feel, given the seeming ascendency of Scarlets and the players we were without. Good forward play Diamond?

    Missed the match last night, but caught one of the many reruns on Setanta :p

    Jackman really has been in superb form of late, he'd be a shoe in for Ireland if his throwing was up to scratch.

    That Keogh try was something else, nice juggling skills as well.

    Devastating stuff though from leinster with 34 unanswered points. We're in a pretty strong position to win the ML if we can get these types of wins without the internationals

    I would not say it was a surprising win given both teams were similarly weakened by international duty. Leiinster were obviously out matched ( on paper ) in the backs but had the beating up front. As it panned out the backs also made hay but the dominance was clear upfront, if not under utilised in the 1st half though.

    Jack and Keogh played well, great hands by Keogh, as An Tabh said, in the lead up to his eventual try.

    That has been Leinster all season capable and willing to win when the boys are away. Phil truly is a blessing in that he is always ( virtually) home when the boys are poncing it about on 6N duty :D .
    Phil seems to get MoM any time he goes to 6th gear when he is filling in for the worlds 2 best centres and still manages a bit of OH magic!!

    Faultless goal kicking dispaly again I think !
