With so much expectation it could be an extreme damp squib bore fest. Unlikely but could.

On his day he could be the most influential player on the pitch

Doomed from the start- middle class Bridgend, plus solidly working class Ponty. Different politics, geography and attitude. And gone within a year of their victory over us, which generated massive local interest.
Sad that today we are in the same boat.

Real gents around us just above the Poitreneau incident, though they must have been sick as dogs. The club felt blessed at that time, the Howley try just a further sprinkling of magic after that amazing Munster match. Definitely on the side of the reds then on Saturday, not just because of this history, and not just because of Jack: they do play rugby from the gods at times. Nothing against Leinster, though - I know some say they don't enjoy visiting Dublin, but I always found their fans good craic when they came here. It could be an absolute corker at the weekend, to match anything that's come before!

We didn't live far from Adams Park at the time either, which was an added bonus.
