Heineken Cup Final

Leinster triumph in their showdown with Leicester after an epic comeback

Leinster took the European crown on Saturday after staging a historic second half comeback against Leicester. Having already sealed the Magners League, the Irish champions made it a fantastic double by coming from behind to claim a 16-19 win. As ever, our man Iain Fletcher was right on the money with his predictions.

Leinster vs Leicester, Saturday 5pm

The bookies don’t separate them but I do. Leinster have the timing right and this should be their year. I fancy Rocky Elsom to make yards and for the superlative defense of O’Driscoll to marshall the midfield. Many will want to trade this match and they should follw the same rules as usual.

However I will just be putting a straight bet on Leinster circa Evens. Leo Cullen, Elsom, O’Driscoll and Contepomi are all crucial for the Irish side. They are fresher and I feel it is their time.
