Manoa Named Man Of The Match As Northampton Beat Leinster

Easily the best Heineken Cup match of the day was Northampton's 18-9 victory over Leinster. The match was incredibly tight throughout and only decided by a last minute intercept try for Northampton. It was a defense match that saw both teams make plenty of tackles. At the forefront of that defensive effort was Samu Manoa, who was named the Man of the Match. It also says a lot about Manoa's performance that he was able to do it in only 67 minutes and without scoring a try. Congrats to Samu!
