#40: Leinster (H) vs Edinburgh - Investec Champions Cup Review

Season 1 Episode 40 Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description

Back to the blue, and what a rollercoaster it was. After the Easter Sunday fireworks at the Aviva, Leinster have secured their spot in the final eight, but not without a serious scare from a resilient Edinburgh side. It was a game that had everything: tries, a shock lead for the visitors in the second half, and a clinical late surge led by our All Blacks recruit. While the 49–31 scoreline looks comfortable, the "generosity" shown in the first half will have Leo Cullen and Jacques Nienaber working overtime before the Sharks arrive in town.
