Leinster boss Leo Cullen credits Northampton for adding drama to Croke Park finaleLeinster fall over the line as they let things slip against Northampton after James Lowe’s hat-trick
“We gave ourselves a really good shot. We got ourselves in a situation where we could have, probably should have, won that game,” said the England back.“I didn’t think we felt we were ever out of the game to be honest. Leinster scored that try in the second half and we had to find ourselves as a team. The disappointing thing is that we really didn’t test them, made a lot of mistakes, dropped the ball, gave away penalties. You can’t do that.
“I think it’s intuitive to a point,” said the Leinster scrumhalf. “The players ... I’ve played with them enough now and they know I’ll be looking for opportunities.” “Plenty of learnings,” said Cullen. “Some of the players have not played in the last few weeks. I don’t know if that had an effect, I don’t know.”
