European Champions Cup 25/26 - Round 2

We've been given a get out of jail free card here. JGP isn't gifted that try and I doubt we come back.
To give the devil their due, I think Leinster dug in and won this. Leicesters fist try was a fluke against the run of try. Their second while off the back of good pressure was very lucky
 
A win is a win is a win I suppose. But very little hope in this competition this season.

The McCarthys were a big positive, HB too, Ryan had one of those under the radar games you only notice when he's not there.

Clarkson, Doris, Henshaw, Frawley and TOB were very poor. A blip for three of them but Henshaw and Frawley just don't look like they belong at the level anymore.
 
You can never count an English side out from completely, and catastrophically, imploding on the European stage

Realistically the benches won/lost it - Tigers just had nothing to stem the flow in the final half hour, and Leinster have the class (in both starts and bench) to never be out of a fight/keep ramping up the pressure
Shame Tigers have some many injuries, imagine Chessum/Martin/JvP/JOC bolstering that side


Good game tbf
