Glasgow head Franco Smith greets Leinster for best club team he saw

Glasgow coach Franco Smith greeted Leinster as the largest team of the club I have ever seen after seeing the hopes of the Champions League Cup of the Irish team End Warriors in a devastating way.

The URC samples were completely outdated while Leinster ran in eight attempts in a victory for a quarter final of 52-0 in Dublin.

He followed such a destruction of 62-0 of Arlecchini in the previous round and Smith says that Leinster is simply operating at a different level from all their rivals.

And when he was asked if this Leinster side is better than anything he witnessed in the club match, Smith said to BBC Scotland: “Surely, with low hands.

“I have been trained since 2007 at Heineken Cup and without a doubt, it’s long.

“Not only the fact that they have the best players. Most of them was in the number one seed team for a long time. They played more than a world cup.

“They come back and play together with the club. You can see it. They were kept together for a long time.

“They were spent a lot of money. They play better than Ireland? Yes, I think so.

“If you replace Bundee Aki with Jordie Barrett and you have artists of the caliber of Rg Snyman in there and Rabah Slimani, there are some good foreign good ones who have added value when they are still developing young Irish players.

“I think if you look for Bordeaux and Toulouse, they are also teams that have some big hits. From a financial perspective, it is difficult to compete with that budget.”
