Re: European competitions
Leinster are huge favourites for that. If Sarries were at full strength and at home then I'd probably just about back them.

I mentioned earlier that I thought this would be a home win for Clermont, but Racing's recent record against Clermont is good and their side may be too strong.

Re: European competitions
Refs a help for Dragons - their LH has pulled down blatantly 3 times and not attracted a penalty - the last time penalty against Briz!
[edit] 2nd half done every time.

Re: European competitions
Leinster v Sarries. Wigglesworth is such an accomplished scrum half and should surely have won more England caps. Sarries set scrum is impressive and their lead is well deserved.

I'll be surprised if Sarries let this lead go.

Re: European competitions
Have to say I have a begrudging respect for Sarries. I know they have been naughty boys, but winning like they do is not just about spending more on players. They’re well coached and drilled and put everything in as players. I might be in the minority, but just saying...

Re: European competitions
Always good to see the pundits proved wrong. Will Greenwood, with his usual Saturday nonsense, actually said that if Leinster had entered a team in the Six Nations they could have won it. Well done Saracens.

Re: European competitions
A well-deserved win, and I am not unhappy to see Leinster lose. All top teams need to taste defeat from time to time and this wasn’t their day, although their second half come back was impressive. One interesting point is that I think only six points were scored at the end to the left of the tv commentator’s stand. The wind must have been a significant factor.
