Balls.ie's Conor Donnelly on the finale to yesterday's HC semifinal: "To paraphrase Al Pacino ”You find out that life is just a game of inches. So is Rugby”.
First paragraph of Gerry Thornley's match report on HC semifinal in today's Irish Times: HIGH OCTANE, high tempo, high drama and by the end Clermont’s fans were in a state of high dudgeon. This pretty much had it all, and when Al Pacino memorably talked about inches in Any Given Sunday, he could have had this stupendous match in mind."
Uncanny.
