Leinster v Northampton Saints, Champions Cup semi-final – Blues fall behind at the Aviva Stadium

Half-time – Leinster 15-27 Northampton – Freeman hat-trick puts Northampton in controlWhat a first-half. Leinster look shellshocked. Cian Tracey alluded to the potency of the Northampton attack and they have showed up at the Aviva today.

A hat-trick from Tommy Freeman and a brilliant Henry Pollock try has given them a 12 point lead at the break. Leinster need a repeat of the 2011 final if they are to turn this around.

A HUGE second-half coming up. Wow!
