Live on Skysports 1: Sat 17.00: Leinster are 4/9 favs with Blue Square to lift the Heineken Cup against Northampton on Saturday.
Leinster have had a great season, far exceeding most people’s expectations of what Joe Schmidt could achieve in his first season in charge. A win at the Millenium stadium would regain their 2009 title and also set them up nicely for the Magners final next weekend, they certainly have the momentum then.
Northampton Saints have also played above what was expected of them, losing in the Premiership semi’s last week was not ideal preparation but if they win here, 11/4 with Sportingbet, they will become the first team to win the Heineken Cup without losing; surely an added incentive, as if they needed one.
The feeling is that Leinster should justify their fav position with a win, Totesport saying 10/11 about a Leinster win with a 5.5 point handicap, which is just about right.
