Great conversion. Hopefully Saints get the next score to keep the final quarter lively.

Thankfully I'm listening to some Irish commentary and it's actually pretty balanced.

Costes is the one who caught my eye, he's like, dare I say it, Sella, he's so strong.
This. I've been banging on on some Fre groups that it was overdue time to pension off the likes of Fickou and Danty and bring in players like Costes and Gailleton.

Meantime, this game is much closer on the board than it's ever felt.

The scoreline does not reflect just how comfortable this has been for Leinster. Every positive phase of the game, Northampton have ben lucky to even be second best.

Assuming it is Toulouse, Leinster might be given a run for their money.

We were piss poor for most of the game so I'll take getting within three points as a moral victory.

Yeah, the three weeks off might have been good on the one hand, but they looked match rusty.

The did nullify a very good Saints side in the 1st half though, & that was the difference.

The saints made a game of it in the end.

Enjoyable game thanks to that. The 'tarf clubhouse was quiet as so many were at the game.

It was good to be back there.

Nah
Saints made lots of unforced errors and mistakes in the first half and got better as the match went on.
I thought Leinster were going to be out of sight by half time

Way too easy. Quins need to defend a lot better than this or all their attacking brilliance can't save them.

Toulouse just overwhelming Quins at the moment. They can't plug the gaps quickly enough.

Pretty dumb by Toulouse. Get the ball off the park to set piece rather than allowing Quins the only way they could get back = broken play.

Murley did so, so well there while isolated to not only hold defenders and give time for support to arrive, but also continue making ground and present readily available ball.

Now they need to get the next score too; because apart from DuPont, I do wonder if this Toulouse side has the stones it needs

Great to watch.

From Toulouse's end, not sure why Mola thinks the tactics from the round play shouldn't be applied again here. It's almost a repeat of yesterday where Leinster went to sleep against a team whose strength is broken play.
