[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 402673, member: 13611"] What a first half from the Saints. They destroyed Leinster at scrumtime and blew them out of the water at the breakdown. James Downey and Roger Wilson laid down a marker to Declan Kidney while Sione Tonga'huia, Brian Mujati, Dylan Hartley, Courtney Lawes, Phil Dowson, Stephen Myler, Jon Clarke and Ben Foden totally outplayed their opposite number. There would have been no complaints had Northampton gone on and won that game based on the best 40 minutes of rugby a European side has played all season......... .......until Leinster's second half. What a comeback. I thought they were dead and buried, as did 99% of people in the stadium. I was hoping they'd be within 7 points after 70 minutes and have a fighting chance at winning but in my wildest dreams, couldn't have expected an 11 point lead by that stage. Brilliant, it was a privelege to be there. Jonny Sexton was magnificent but my man of the match was Ben Foden. [/QUOTE]
