You take the scrum don’t you ?

Awesome game
Will have to watch the full replay -
Lot of talk about Jordie Barrett being the European player of the year but after this result Henry Pollock must be pushing hard for that spot

@sparky this kid is unreal

@game_film Leinster have only two games left of their season and they have basically already won the United Rugby Championship. I wonder if Jordie will fly back early and link up with the Hurricanes.

I cannot believe the performance I just watched from Pollock the Northampton openside.
20 years old.
He absolutely terrorised the Leinster team from whistle to whistle.
Freak of a player.
And he is doing the Vince McMahon/Conor McGregor walk during a lap of honour :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Great game. The mental fragility of Leinster is something else, though. I understand that the high expectations can cause unnecessary pressure but during the game it almost seemed like they were surprised about how hard Northampton were playing. As if it wasn't the semi-final of the Champions Cup.
The most damning thing to me was that the Northampton players didn't even seem exhausted near the end. Multiple players in the bin throughout the game but never once trailed.
Phenomenal attacking performance by Northampton, it has to be said. They made that Nienaber defence look like a sieve.
