Leinster 21-20 Blues. 10 Jan. 2009

The Blues produced a decent away performance in a game they could easily have won. Both fullbacks, Halfpenny and Kearney were the stand out players. It came down to the last minutes of the game with Leinster leading 18-17. It looked to be all over but the Blues hit back with some great rugby, Jamie Roberts made a telling break to eventually set-up a drop kick chance for Nicky Robinson. The number 10 slotted it well and the Blues looked to have grabbed a late win but the ref said there were three minutes of injury time to play. From the resultant kick off a harsh penalty was given away by the Blues and Leinster kicked the winning goal.
In the two Magners League games between these sides only 1 point has separated them.

My man of the match: Halfpenny.
