NORTHAMPTON’S Roger Wilson believes he and his colleagues must produce the “best game of their lives” to defeat Leinster in the Heineken Cup final.
Wilson: Leinster have no weaknesses

Ulster native Wilson watched Joe Schmidt’s side defeat Toulouse in an epic semi-final on Saturday, 24 hours before his side overcame Perpignan. And he didn’t hide his admiration for the way Leinster beat the tournament specialists.

The 29-year-old said: “I thought Toulouse threw everything they had at them but Leinster, they almost play like the Munster team of a few years ago. They absorb all the pressure and with 20 or 30 minutes to go, they find that extra gear to step things up. They don’t have many weaknesses in their squad. Their defence is outstanding, their set-piece has improved massively over the past few years and their attack, you don’t need to say too much about that. They have world class players all over the pitch. I can’t think of any weaknesses.”
