What a win for Leinster! The hard way but they just about made it over the line.
Watching in the pub would have you nearly as exhausted as the players it was so tense.

I was watching it in the shop online... kinda hoping no customers would come in! I missed the first 20 on the 2nd half but I'll sit down later with a 2009 Medoc and enjoy every second of it. Apologies to Ulster fans but that, to me, was the real final. (may live to regret saying that!)

I was reduced to listening to it on the radio. Not without its charm, but not quite the same as seeing it. Cracking result.

Great result indeed but they will need to play better than that to beat Ulster IMHO.

I think if they played like that Ulster would get a spanking!!
Healy and Kearney and O'Driscoll were outstanding...

I would agree the only problem they have now is over confidence or ulster either fluking it or playing out of their skins.
They should have won by a bigger margin yesterday. Just didnt get the scores at that crucial time. Dodgy line outs,Sextons kick,Misjudgements by Sean O'Brien when he broke and reddan when trying to do a kearney all contributed to creating a nail biting finish.
Great thing is they made in unlike most irish teams that would end up in glorious defeat.
