LEINSTER FACE TOULON in the Champions Cup semi-final in Marseille today as 11-point underdogs, so not many people are giving them much of a chance.
Toulon are going for three European Cups in-a-row while Leinster haven’t been at their best for most of this season, but the Irish province do have one big thing in their favour.
His name is Sean O’Brien.
The Carlow Cannonball was injured when Leinster were beaten by Toulon in the Heineken Cup quarter-final last season and in case you needed a reminder of how good he is, the Six Nations have released a video of SOB obliterating tacklers in an Ireland jersey (click on link to play).

If O’Brien can reach similar heights today, then maybe Leinster can upset the men from the south of France.
