Revenge? No, just guts, says Jamie
JAMIE Heaslip denied revenge was a motivating factor for Leinster in their Heineken Cup semi-final victory over Toulouse at the Aviva Stadium.
Tries from Heaslip and Brian O’Driscoll, and 22 points from the boot of Jonathan Sexton, saw Leinster through to the May 21 final in Cardiff.
Twelve months ago, Toulouse beat the Irish 26-16 in a semi-final. But Heaslip (below) said: “It wasn’t a revenge mission for us.
“Toulouse just happened to be the team in the semi-final. We didn’t play our best, but no guts, no glory.”
Toulouse’s Shawn Sowerby said: “Leinster really deserved the victory.”
