Writing in the Sunday Independent, Neil Francis hails the performance of Leinster in Saturday's stirring Heineken Cup win over Toulouse.
"I'm pretty sure Aristotle never played rugby but what he said centuries ago bears testament to what happened yesterday, and he described the core values of every player who played in such a scintillating match. He said: "Character is that which reveals moral purpose exposing the class of things a man chooses to do or avoid."
"I'm still trying to make my mind up whether I have seen a better game played on this planet; certainly at this level I have never had my breath taken away to such an extent.
"This match will have set a standard which very few teams will ever come close to. The fact that Leinster managed to run out winners shows the level they have moved to."
