[QUOTE="Logorrhea, post: 401266, member: 43061"] Right. The top reasons why Saints will beat Leinter by 4 points in the final; [B]Roman Poite[/B] - Unavoidable [B]Total front five dominance[/B] - Quite possible [B]Roman Poite and the Scrum[/B] - Racing, Clermont, Sarries, England, France etc have all been expected to dominate this frontrow. Italy are the only ones who did it, and that was due to Poites refereeing. Mike ross is going to have a massive amount of work to do to stop the little frenchman from pinging us (rightly or wrongly) off the park. [B]Leinster just dont turn up[/B] - Very possible. Orpreys in last years HC final, Munster second half this year, Leicester final 10 minutes this year, Toulouse opening 20 minutes this year. There are plenty of occasions where Leinster have not been swithced on. We are not as prone to it as we have been in years past but I still think there are question marks over it. We do that and well easily end up like Munster vs Harlequins. [B]Northampton play better then they have all year[/B] -Also possible. As for missing Woods. Cometh the hour cometh the man. I think he's a loss for Saints, but Leinster thought the same when we lost Dr Phil in the semi two years ago, look how that turned out. [/QUOTE]
