Champions Cup 1/4 Final: Exeter V Leinster

[Oldschool]

For those concerned/hoping that the match might be cancelled.
It's the Prince Regent wot died not the Queen.
Based on "revelations" in the "The Crown" it would appear he doesn't really figure in the scheme of things.

Leinster have won each of their last six away games in the Heineken Champions Cup, but no team has ever won seven games on the road in a row in the competition

So Leinster to be the first team to win seven away H Cup games in a row, and follow it up with seven in a row against Munster!

And then playing their 7th European final a few weeks later?

By the time the game starts Sheehan will be bolloxed so I hope Cronin is available if a hooker pulls up.

Interestingly on the Exeter fans forum they seem to think if they get parity in the front their backs can win it.... it’s the opposite of what I thought they’d say

[mildlyinterested]

this game will be won by the forwards..

That's only half a prediction.
If both packs achieve parity, more or less then it's down to the backs and the half backs in particular.
Given that there might not be much between them in the backs leaves us with defence being possibly the deciding factor.
Think we'll win but I deliberately didn't cut my finger nails during the week and I've pulled the sofa away from the wall too, preparation it's said is king.

I'm optimistic Robbie Henshaw will continue his rich vein of form, and continue his dual role of talisman. He galvanises the flip out of the time, as does Furlong.

Turned over to the Irish women, don't want the stress of the buildup.
