[Slick]

WELL DONE NORTHAMPTON!!! Absolutely delighted

[OomStruisbaai]

Awesome win!

[Simian]

great game. quality from saints

[Kawazaki]

Yes. The good guys win.

[Slick]

Sorry, but fuck Leinster, they represent everything we don’t want in the game

[Stranger]

Stunning win

[duke]

Saints are the one English team who could pull that off, many congratulations to them!

[clydecloggie]

Amazing game. Northampton a very different team in the Champions Cup. Leinster very sloppy. Sweet sweet result.

[salanya]

As predicted. Congratulations Saints.
If you play rush defense you need speedy backs (and a 10 who loves to tackle).

Any Saints fans looking for tickets for the final?

It happens when you use your A team only for big games.

Frame them and hang them on your wall. They will remind you that hubris always bites you on the arse.

Cracking game. Northampton good value for that win.

Eh? Bit judgy. We bought tickets as the stadium is close by, and there weren't many left so you have to be in there early.

If nobody wants the tickets we're going, but I'd rather supporters of the two teams get to go.

[OomStruisbaai]

Trokkie has been great. Ulster will be happy

Apologies

[SaintK]

Get the fuck in!

Unbelievable
Had Leinster +28

[Oxbow]

Get the fuck in!

Unbelievable
Had Leinster +28

I'm happy you were way out.

Everyone else knows you are doing a very good thing

[Sandstorm]

Jordie Barrett is a crowbar. Don’t think he passed once today.

[Uncle fester]

I'm happy you were way out.

My prediction was +10. After last year being close, I didn't think Leinster would let that happen again.

[PornDog]

Very well done Saints, thoroughly deserved. Ye we're brilliant today. Huge kudos to the coaching team, they really did a number on us.

Would have been robbed if we'd gotten that at the end. Still think it should have been a try though. Oh well.

[Kawazaki]

the ball was on the line/touching the flag (not the base as the ref said), ergo in goal. There is no off-feet in goal.

Of course if it was a penalty at all it should have been a penalty try anyway.

But, it would have been daylight robbery, so I'm not sore about it or anything. Saints were well worth their victory

There is no offside in-goal. There is no such thing as no off-feet in rugby.

[Paddington Bear]

Got a good 20 people off their feet in my club’s pavilion, of which a grand total of 0 are Northampton fans and probably 5/6 watch rugby outside the 6N. Great win

That looks pretty grounded against the base of the flag to me and that's why the ref didn't proceed to address whether or not Keenan was on his feet or required to be.

[Uncle fester]

Yeah, the off feet one would have been tricky to adjudicate but ball against base of corner flag is definitely "clear and obvious".

The confusion comes with the penalty but yellow and no PT was right.

I'm still agog that Leinster tried to run that last penalty.

There is no offside in-goal. There is no such thing as no off-feet in rugby.

A player can be offside anywhere within the playing area (Law 10.2). The playing area includes in-goal.

A player on the ground in the field of play, without the ball is out of the game (Law 13.3). The field of play does not include in-goal.

The low, low, low URC standard rugby has catch up on him.

[Torquemada 1420]

Missed the games yesterday so only just seen highlights.

1) Well done Saints. Maybe sometimes the good guys (attractive rugby) can still win these days.

2) Would have paid good money to see the The Swarm's meltdown on Planet Jake.

[Oxbow]

Pollock made 23 tackles yesterday, not bad for a show pony.

At least 3 of whom are likely Lions!!

[Paddington Bear]

Got to 60 mins on a proper watch, there’s only one top class 10 on that pitch. Prendergast seems to be an experiment in rebuilding Jonny Sexton with the addition of abject cowardice in defence. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Lions tour.

Pollock did very well for a 20 year old up against a world class back row. Freeman superb and it’s unclear how Dingwall has ever really been out of favour for England

[Kawazaki]

... it’s unclear how Dingwall has ever really been out of favour for England

Because the England coaches are utterly shite?

Exhibit B: Alex Lozowski

[Rhubarb & Custard]

I simply cannot make my mind up if I like the try from Van der Flier, on the one hand we want to encourage attacking play, on the other that really did feel an age before Deegan popped the ball up off the floor. Though I was amused at Dingwall having 2/3 attempts to influence that little passage and managing to have no impact whatsoever.

The other thing that stood out was in the build up to the 2nd try for Freeman, I think it was the second not the third, when Ringrose really bit in on Pollock selling Lowe and indeed his team down the river. Not sure why he wouldn't trust Van Der Flier of all people to make that tackle, or maybe he takes a view on VdF's left shoulder tackle attempts, or was that a reaction even panic to Pollock's influence on the game? I get Pollock had skirted past a 10 not wanting to tackle into the spokes already, and Pollock is good, but that felt a horrible decision from Ringrose, a player whose calling card is supposed to be his defensive reads.
