Last weekend, Leinster ran riot at the Franklin's Gardens as the Saints were thoroughly embarrassed by one of the Heineken Cup's greatest sides. With both teams forced to make late changes - Sean O'Brien and Dom Waldouck are both out - will it have some impact on the game? Only time will tell. One key match-up? Brian O'Driscoll is now running at George North. Hold on to your seats

Great start for Northampton Saints. George North goes over from close range following a neat Luther Burrell offload - perfect start for Jim Mallinder's side

Big, big second half for Northampton here. They will want to start as strongly as they did in the first half to really put the pressure on Leinster.

Tremendous commitment to the cause from Northampton there to stop Leinster crossing the whitewash. An error from Lee Dickson from kick off gives Leinster great field position but, despite heavy pressure on the line, Northampton keep their composure and keep the Rabo champions at bay.

Leinster have to settle for the penalty - which Madigan slots to narrow the gap to one point.

Incredible tension in Dublin as both teams look capable of scoring, but also both look resolute in their defensive efforts. This one could go right to the wire, has been a fascinating contest so far.

Dylan Hartley finally relents in his tactic of going for the corner and gives Myler a relatively straight-forward kick in front of the posts, and he keeps his composure to split the uprights.

Incredible finish! Leinster camped on Northampton's try line but Jamie Elliot pounces on a loose ball and returns it home for Saints. That was European rugby at its finest and finally Northampton have their revenge over Leinster.
