Elsom hails Heineken Cup format

LEINSTER powerhouse Rocky Elsom has hailed the Heineken Cup as the best club competition in world.

Speculation is rife ahead of today’s final showdown with Leicester Tigers at Murrayfield that Elsom will be rejoining the Wallabies after just one season with the Irish province, but the competition has certainly captured his imagination.

In that short period, the all-action flanker has proven a smash hit with Leinster supporters for his aggressive style and commitment.
