When asked about Saints fullback George Furbank’s assertion that Leinster had shut up shop, Baird explained: “Of course you’d love to finish off the game, score two tries and put them away, but saying we tapped out would be disrespectful to Northampton and the incredible attacking side they are. There was one final reference to the European match. Asked about the mental fortitude Leinster displayed in coming up with that crucial turnover to close out the Northampton game, Baird offered an analogy.

I think he’s absolutely phenomenal.' says Baird of his young team-mate.

I think he’s absolutely phenomenal.”
