[QUOTE="m0rris, post: 414874, member: 47792"] In answer to the two of them.. Sexton and Flood have similarities, although as many have made clear Sexton is now reacting to pressure better than Flood and is now definitely better than Flood. However, both compared to the upper echelons of Flyhalfdom aren't the best and aren't likely to be the best but are good international bread and butter FHs. As for the HEC, yes Leinster won it because Saints could only play their game for 40 mins but that doesn't take away from Leinster the remarkable manner in which they came back from a first half trashing, and their forwards managed to go from looking like a 2nd XV to one of the best packs in the world... This is why Leinster are [B]the best[/B] NH club side. I hope I didn't come across as sour grapes ec but I was just trying to point out that the idea that Sexton won the HEC was wrong as it was Leinster, particularly their forwards and Nacewa, that sealed their victory with Sexton et al healping as a collective to turn the game around. m0rris [/QUOTE]
