On the subjects of Seb's, I've also been mightily impressed with Seb#2 at Hooker. also very young, started a few weeks ago as what, 4th choice? possibly 5th? would say he's now far higher up the pecking order than that.

Yeah he's not the finished article but aged 20 up against Danty he did better than a number of the England team managed.

I agree on the D. For a guy who isn't particularly big he doesn't miss many, good technique and positioning.

Absolute cracker of a game. Unbelievable defence and heart from Glos. Really felt for them at the end.

Weird to think that if Glos had held on for 30 more seconds we’d be guaranteed a Prem team in the final. Obviously to just be annihilated by Leinster, but still.

I think you're counting your chickens a bit much there. Leinster are a great side, but they are beatable. It's entirely possible we'd have a Premiership team getting annihilated by Toulouse in the final instead.
