Questions still remain for Leinster

THE lowest point in Leinster’s season came in Castres before Christmas when they lost a game they ought to have won. Coincidence or not, they have won three games since they could just as easily have lost.

Ulster, Connacht and now Cardiff have all been pipped in a photo finish, each one tighter than the last and few contests in any competition this season will provide a last act as dramatic as last Saturday’s.

Trailing by two points with 70 seconds to play, Felipe Contepomi tapped over what appeared to be a winning penalty, only to face another all-or-nothing kick minutes later after Nicky Robinson’s drop goal had restored the Blues’ lead.
