Considering the respective team selections, and how much they were behind, it's a phenomenal demonstration of Leinster's squad depth to stay undefeated, and they could easily have won it from reports

The Leinster crowd booing and whistling was a new low

Could easily have gone either way but the Stormers lost it more. Their 8 had a brilliant breakaway and was flying but kept aiming for the posts rather than the corner. That was probably the winning of it there for them.

Great win for Connacht, if a bit sloppy.
Moment of the game was 4'5 tall Blade getting the intercept off Kinghorn.
Healy is really going to fill his boots over there.

Hawkshaw and Daly playing 10

Sexton gone for the remainder of the season

Good to get Ross Byrne in the hot seat at Leinster.

 

[Coogee]

no harm to let him recover now and get to the world cup with no extra miles on the clock

Byrne and his brother to see out the season for Leinster which could include some big games

Hopefully Crowley is put in at 10 for Munster for the few games they have left

No harm - likely that if Ireland progress in wc, JS won't stay uninjured for duration. More competitive games the understudies have the better.

Felix Jones joining Borthwick in England after the World Cup

Jones has carved out a decent coaching career for himself at such a young age. Must be well thought of!
