Well they did and so did Llanelli.

Yep, and Edinburgh played Sale in a pre-season friendly and were unlucky not to win...playing some great rugby.

Any of the current top 4 of 5 Celtic sides can beat a top GP side now.

Webby, the Borders aren't that bad now. They could thrash Glasgow though...

Yeah but Leinster are the only team who have a consistent winning record in England. Having said that though English teams have a **** poor record in Ireland.

Yep, though I can't help but feel that the Celitc sides will become far more competitive in the comming seasons.

Well bravo for the Celtic teams. This'll make European competition a whole lot more interesting.

Getting back to yesterday's game though I can't get over the amount of whingeing in some quarters about Clerc's disallowed try, pass from Fritz was forward although Clerc's line of running was poor. Definitely could have proved a turning point but the linesman got the call spot on.

I was at the game and congrats Leinster, that was a superb display. Well that'll give us a better chance for the Top14 :cryy:

Special mention to the leinster fans, a lot of them came and never stopped to sing during the whole game

It gave us some competition, the atmosphere at the stadium was impressive.
