A bit slow putting this Champions Cup preview piece here, given that the match has already happened, and Leinster successfully and completely kettled Toulouse’s kitchen sink-approach, then gorged themselves on the mistakes that inevitably followed … but I really enjoyed speaking to Jerome Kaino in the run-in to the game.
And I’m also proud of the piece that followed for the Irish Examiner. Sue me. For the record, I also did the in-paper player ratings after the match…
Toulouse face a ‘mountainous’ challenge against the premier club side in Europe when they face Leinster in the semi-final of the Champions Cup, according to double World Cup-winning All Black Jerome Kaino.
