[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 882964, member: 45598"] Yeah red card, Healy should get Christmas off. I can't say the game really hinged on it considering Exeter had every chance to win that game had they managed to score in the last 48minutes of the game, or had they taken points early on rather than going for the corner and messing up, or had they not lost the Fardy yellow card time (wrong call too) 6-0 etc... Leinster got lucky with Healy and Isa touching the ball after Nowell's slice while Exe were allowed to live offside and benefitted hugely from holding Leinster players and not letting them role away at ruck time which refs are usually wise to. Leinster got the rub of the green from the ref this week at home, Exe got it last week at home, Leinster won both games by forcing Exe to run out of ideas and wearing their defence out, 8-1 in the head to heads is probably a fair reflection of where the teams are at. Rob Baxter didn't seem to think he had been robbed post-game anyway! We're a home win against Glasgow away from a home QF now and three consecutive wins from a home semi, in terms of consistency I think Leinster are the best team in the competition, I'd fear Clermont showing up in France but outside of that there isn't a team that I think could beat Leinster if they show up.
