Irish Club Wins First Heineken Cup Title

At Edinburgh, Scotland:

Jamie Heaslip scored a try (five points in Rugby Union), Brian O'Driscoll (who's pictured here) added a drop goal (three points) and Jonathan Sexton had three three-point goals (two penalty and o
ne drop) as Leinster captured the Heineken Cup final 19-16 over Leicester Tigers of England on Saturday. It marked the Irish club's first championship in European Club Rugby Union's biggest tournament, sort of their equivalent of the UEFA Champions League. That's Brian holding the big prize.
