Re: Toulon-Leicester
If anyone is a shadow of their former selves it's us now that MOC has departed.
I thought that was a real gutsy performance by Leinster and would have been proud had our boys turned in a display like that.
Let's wait until we have made the last 4 before we start casting stones.

Re: Toulon-Leicester
I disagree, Leinster back play that used to be direct, incisive and a joy to watch is now slow and lateral. They still have a pack that can cause even the best sides problems but behind the scrum they lack any invention. The story was the same in the previous round against Bath but they got through because the pack was able to squeeze enough penalties out of the Bath scrum.
They are 8 points off the top four in the Pro12 and need to win away in Ulster to stay with a mathematical chance of being in the play offs.
The contrast with much of the same side under Schmidt is striking.

Re: Toulon-Leicester
"much of the same side" is being very disingenuous . No BOD, D'Arcy now 35 and not quite the player he was. It's a bit like us without Manu and AA. Also Goperth is good, but quite the same as Sexton.drc_007 wrote:I disagree, Leinster back play that used to be direct, incisive and a joy to watch is now slow and lateral.
