What a game. I am sick of telling people that high try-scoring and high ball-in-play time are not the only ways to have an entertaining game of rugby.
We had no try until extra-time in the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium yesterday but I thought it was fascinating to watch. The physicality and intensity was off the scale and Toulouse’s skill-set tested the Leinster defence in a way they haven’t experienced this season.
