Tony Ward: Leinster ‘caveman’ approach worked against La Rochelle, but I hate the Jacques Nienaber imprint

Outside of the highest international level if there is a better quality competition beyond the Champions Cup then I don’t know it. Yet, I have to be honest here and say the first 39 minutes at the Stade Mayol yesterday was pure muck. The 40th was spared by a Marius Domon try and his accompanying conversion which gave Toulon a 7-6 lead at the break.
