Justice for Saints in the end. Deserved winners, especially with the weird ref fuckery in the last 10.

Amazing game. Northampton a very different team in the Champions Cup. Leinster very sloppy. Sweet sweet result.

As predicted. Congratulations Saints.
If you play rush defense you need speedy backs (and a 10 who loves to tackle).
Any Saints fans looking for tickets for the final?

It happens when you use your A team only for big games.

Eh? Bit judgy. We bought tickets as the stadium is close by, and there weren't many left so you have to be in there early.
If nobody wants the tickets we're going, but I'd rather supporters of the two teams get to go.

My prediction was +10. After last year being close, I didn't think Leinster would let that happen again.

Very well done Saints, thoroughly deserved. Ye we're brilliant today. Huge kudos to the coaching team, they really did a number on us.
Would have been robbed if we'd gotten that at the end. Still think it should have been a try though. Oh well.

the ball was on the line/touching the flag (not the base as the ref said), ergo in goal. There is no off-feet in goal.
Of course if it was a penalty at all it should have been a penalty try anyway.
But, it would have been daylight robbery, so I'm not sore about it or anything. Saints were well worth their victory

There is no offside in-goal. There is no such thing as no off-feet in rugby.

Got a good 20 people off their feet in my club’s pavilion, of which a grand total of 0 are Northampton fans and probably 5/6 watch rugby outside the 6N. Great win

That looks pretty grounded against the base of the flag to me and that's why the ref didn't proceed to address whether or not Keenan was on his feet or required to be.

Yeah, the off feet one would have been tricky to adjudicate but ball against base of corner flag is definitely "clear and obvious".
The confusion comes with the penalty but yellow and no PT was right.
I'm still agog that Leinster tried to run that last penalty.

There is no offside in-goal. There is no such thing as no off-feet in rugby.
A player can be offside anywhere within the playing area (Law 10.2). The playing area includes in-goal.
A player on the ground in the field of play, without the ball is out of the game (Law 13.3). The field of play does not include in-goal.

Missed the games yesterday so only just seen highlights.
1) Well done Saints. Maybe sometimes the good guys (attractive rugby) can still win these days.
2) Would have paid good money to see the The Swarm's meltdown on Planet Jake.
