Remarkable

The only word coming close to describing Leinster’s second half performance in today’s Heineken Cup Final, which I’m still enjoying. Already being described by the Sky commentators as one of the greatest finals in this competition, the Leinstermen have erased a 16 point half-time deficit which seemed to have swung the tie firmly in favour of the Saints. One of those sporting moments that will live long in the memory. Update: Final Score: Leinster 33- 22 Northampton. Leinster champions for the second time in three years.
