Leinster go down tamely to Tigers

Leinster 13 Leicester 29

The 29-13 scoreline in what was flagged as the most competitive of the Heineken Cup quarter-finals hardly did justice to Martin Johnson's side.

Not for the first time, Leinster failed to front up when it counted most. Instead, it was the side that sneaked into the knockout stages thanks to a series of fortuitous developments that romped home. The Tigers came with the intention of keeping Leinster on the back foot from start to finish. How emphatically they succeeded.
