THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT from yesterday’s Champions Cup quarter-final between Leinster and Bath wasn’t that the home side didn’t cross the whitewash for a five-pointer, but rather that the television audience were deprived of a replay of Fergus McFadden’s monstrous hit right on half time.
Anthony Watson marauded for metres with ease throughout yesterday’s contest but as the clock struck 40 minutes, he ran right into the Leinster wing, who lit him up.

Unfortunately for McFadden, his game ended just after half time when he caught his head on Kyle Eastmond’s shoulder.

It’s just a two week turnaround until Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final so it will be interesting to see if McFadden makes it back in time. Dave Kearney was omitted from the 23 for yesterday’s game, but would be a very high quality replacement if the wing isn’t fit for the final four clash.
