overall against four French sides


It sets up the pre-Christmas back-to-back games against Pool 1’s other unbeaten side, Northampton Saints

Sean McMahon - Pundit Arena

...they had to wait until the final play of the game to seal all five points.


Declan Whooley - RTÉ Rugby

The fly-half stepped up with the clock having hit 80 and landed a tricky penalty to put the seal on a 35-32 success.


Tom Vickers - Northampton Chronicle
