    For me, interestingly (if not by choice) having Fardy, Ryan and Toner on the pitch at the same time, could give us our greatest impact, especially against the mail and rook time.

    This won't be easy, Saracens seem to rediscovered their mojo.
    I think Leinster will win it though, think they just have too much in the backs on offense.

    I almost don't want to watch this game. The thoughts of potentially losing to Saracens after going 6/6 are killing me.

    What's the protocol for media seats in the Aviva? Half are always empty. It's such a waste.

    7-6 , Sarries enjoying most of the possession after bad start. They look like they have their form back.Good game so far.

    If the Sarries pack can maintain this level for the 80 minutes they’ll win today.
