Maybe. But not really. Thats the 3rd time the O's beat Munster this year. Right not Munster are just not the team they once were.
True Ding, I think Leinster's rise seems to have taken some of the wind out of their sails. But since when have Ospreys actually played as well as they say they can! (Not for about 3 years at least, in my books.)
Leinster Glasgow. This can only go one way right?
And no need to be overly humble Ding, we won't think you're being cocky! I think there's a gulf in class between Leinster and the next best team in the league, and I don't think Glasgow are the next best team...
On the O's i would be unfair if i didn't doff my hat to that performance last night. Indeed you know that The O's have beaten Leinster twice this year in the league. So of all the teams to possibly meet in the final i think Leinster will be a little less comfortable meeting these guys. The O's problems seem only to be consistency and a little bit of external issues affecting the team. But the way they play is not in question from my point of view.
As for Glasgow and Leinster, it's over before it starts in my book. While the O's V Munster gave us a surprising scoreline i think if leinster do the same to Glasgow nobody will be left thinking it could have gone the other way.
With the best respect for Glasgow i think they are in a whole new ball game now. Standard league games week in week out will not have prepared them for what they will face in terms of intensity as Leinster just dont know how to lose knockout games. And with some of the Leinster big guns sitting this one out, (BOD and Kearney) O'Mally comes in to the center and Necewa moves to his best position of 15 with the Younger Kearney brother coming in at 14 it actually gives Leinster more pace in the back line and will throw off the strategic planning of the Scots.
