He was already flirting with French money so I thought his feeling might be to work a deal with Leinster to see him to the other side of the RWC and then see what the market has to offer. It's interesting to see the contrast between the decisions being made by the Irish and Welsh players at the moment.
Interesting. I hadn't thought about it from that angle. My understanding is that players generally want longer deals for fear of injury or drop in form. From his perspective, that would seem like the more sensible approach, rather than gambling on still being a hot commodity after the world cup.

3 being the most important character in that sentence. I'd imagine Heaslip pushed for that, to counteract the difference in yearly salary. I hope they didn't break the bank on him, because I really don't think he's worth it.

Big time. He just refuses to be stopped when he gets up a head of steam. Hopefully he can bring that form to the 6 nations.

Leinster werent their best. I'd hate to say it but it was Bod's worst game Ive seen him play. And that against a poor enough centre pairing.
As often happens with Leinster when they get ahead. They stopped working as a team and going through the phases. There were players having a cut themselves and the moves ended.
The handling and finishing were gash.
Thats said they won without any major injuries. I'd be thinking they could be better after the 6 nations and a few weeks in Camp with Joe.

Not sure what to make of it but I don't think Leinster have much chance of silverware this year.
Only saw the second half, but agree that they were very poor. Ospreys were actually down to 13 for a little while too, as both their hookers were injured, but one came back on eventually. Considering they struggled badly to beat us a couple of weeks ago too, it's hard to see them going all the way, but they've a bit of time now to get things right. I'd love to see the Irish teams win, and we'd have both semis in Ireland (assume the Aviva), which would be class.
