Before yesterday's game, few bet on Northampton to defeat the Leinster juggernaut, but one of those few was Simon Zebo.
Off the pitch, the former Munster and Ireland winger has never shied away from letting his dislike of Leinster be known.
Yesterday, he tweeted that Northampton would win by five. And while it looked at the time like it was just bias talking, the only thing he got wrong was the scoreline, with Northampton winning 37-34 in their Champions Cup semi-final.
After the shock loss, he shared the infamous photo of the laughing Leinster fan holding a Brown Thomas bag and drinking a Heineken.
Following the loss, Leinster head coach, Leo Cullen, said: "The first thing is Northampton were excellent I thought.
"We sat here yesterday talking about how strong Northampton are in terms of some of their attacking threats and what they are capable of doing. I think we saw that in lots of different parts of the game.
"In the dressing room it’s a pretty sombre place as you can imagine. You set off at the start of the season and you know the final is in Cardiff. Everything is building towards that. Everyone is imagining themselves, every team, I’m sure, is imagining themselves there in the final.
"So, not many people were giving Northampton a chance coming into the game. They come away with a famous victory and unfortunately, it’s at our expense.
"Some of the things they executed, how clinical they were and even they came up with a way to hold us out at the end. I’m not sure how they managed to do it but they managed to do it. So, yeah, it’s pretty a pretty horrific feeling for the group right now."
