[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1033911, member: 59968"] Well they were reigning champions and playing at home so I wouldn’t say they were ‘overrated’. I think most English fans would have predicted a Leinster win though. Re. The bolded, I’m a fan of Sam Simmonds, but a lot of the hype comes from scoring a lot of tries (mostly from mauls) and the odd highlight reel break/try. On a day like today, he could have pressed his case further by showing he could compete with Leinster at the breakdown. He didn’t have a bad game, but he really didn’t impose himself in any way and was anonymous in a lot of the coal face work that was needed. [/QUOTE]
