[QUOTE="shtove, post: 96634"] Yeah, BOD trumps Darcy - but the point is that BOD + Darcy = Lock up your Daughters. Wasn't impressed with Leinster. Anyone agree that it wasn't a real contest or spectacle? The Blues forwards don't create a rhythm - it's all about disruption and jumping on loose balls after the opposition has stolen it from Leinster's underpowered rucks. And without rhythm, the HEC is beyond them. Leinster support in the stands is pathetic compared to Munster's. Kearney scored brilliantly early on, but after that he was average - just a winger. Whittaker is a bag of nuts - mostly good, but the rotten ones spoil everything. Contepomi fired off one of his [i]Arriba![/i] passes just before half time, which gave surging possession to Edinburgh. He should have been trying to get to the whistle with the lead intact. Is Shaggy trying to kill innocent wing-forwards with his bullet passing? Brilliant - I hope he succeeds. But he came off the wing in defence and gave away a try. He's the best "bad" back in the world. Edinburgh's second try wouldn't have happened with BOD on the field. Leinster's backs are as good as anything in the world, but the pack are incapable of the HEC. Look to a team like Llanelli to put them out at the semis - limited but committed, and smart enough to pick off superior players. [/QUOTE]
