Time for Leinster to take the final step

LEINSTER face into their first European Cup final today. Over the years they’ve played in some big fixtures, like their quarter-final win in Toulouse in 2006 and the Celtic League victory over Munster in 2006.

But this is much more of a headrush.

Today they have an opportunity to announce their arrival as one of Europe’s elite rugby clubs. With such a fantastic prize comes a heightened sense of pressure and intensity. It is this pressure that can make or break a team.
