League final highlights the importance of club game
It started with my old coach Tony McGahan’s team the Melbourne Rebels doing a number on the Auckland Blues, and Dan Carter’s Crusaders crushing the Queensland Reds in Christchurch, both in very impressive fashion. Fast forward to that evening, and after seeing Leinster under-perform in the drizzle as they laboured to a 10-0 home victory over Treviso, one would think I wasn’t watching the same sport.
It was interesting to note that the quality provided by Lansdowne and Clontarf in the Ulster Bank League final on Saturday afternoon was at least on a par, if not above, what we witnessed in the RDS the previous evening.
