Ten minutes of madness

TEN minutes of madness cost Leinster a Heineken Cup lifeline and allowed London Wasps to romp to victory at Adams Park on Saturday.

Former Wasps and England prop Will Green, now with Leinster, summed it up: “We gave up the game in the ten minutes after half time. They were down to 14 men and we should have taken advantage. Instead, we coughed up two scores and it was game over.”

It was a brutally frank comment that few could disagree with. Those moments wrecked Leinster’s season and smashed their prospects of becoming the third Irish team to win the Heineken Cup.
