Writing in the Irish Independent, David Kelly reports on Leinster's latest win in their defence of the Heineken Cup crown.
"There was a rather comical image captured by the cameras in the RDS on Saturday night which typified an altogether surreal evening's entertainment. As Shane Horgan prepared to score what seemed an inevitable first-half try, a cloth-capped gentleman rose to his feet in raucous acclamation.
"Unfortunately, Horgan was superbly manhandled by an Anglo-French reception and driven back from the try line, a point seemingly lost to everyone except the befuddled spectator, who continued his warm acclamation until the slow, dawning realisation that things weren't quite what they seemed.
"It was that kind of night and many more were left scratching their heads in bemusement. To top it all off, Horgan, a microcosm of a team who fluttered with apparent ease between the proverbially sublime and ridiculous, would complete the 80 minutes of predominant torpor by creating arguably Leinster's try of the season thus far."
