Rolland doing really poorly come scrum time. If you give a pen against a LH for a collapsed scrum, you don't then call over both players and tell them that one more collapse will see them both off. If the LH is to blame, he goes off. Simple!

well said Madigan was outstanding when people had faith in him - this year there has been a policy of under mining his performances probably to alleviate the threat to sexton at international level. Sexton has always been inconsistent and we needed Rog to rescue more than one game at international ...

Ridiculous strength for Ruddocks try. Did well to weasel to the line.

I'd actually say that noone is offering themselves to Doussain to take the ball up. Can't say they've taken a ball moving yet.

Kidney is a dinosaur who can't handle post ELV rugby.

http://www.espn.co.uk/wales/rugby/story/212187.html Peter Pie, chairman of the Cardiff Blues has come out saying that the WRU couldn't run a corner shop. Yeah, that's why they've got one of the best managers on the planet, several grandslams in the last decade, sell out crowds. What do you have Pete...

As for the pulling down thing, he was on the ground from the original, very legal attempt to sack the maul, and Ospreys chose to drive back over him.

We did well considering Poite is usually an extra player for the Offside-spreys. Room for improvement, and I think Gopperth isn't the one to unlock our back line.

We're boned.

I just hope that that people around the world don't think all Irish rugby fans carry on like That! there are a few people in stadium tonight that are a f%~king disgrace! And I hope people around the world don't think all Irish rugby fans carry on like you! If you have nothing intelligent to say, th...

Farces was clueless at the breakdown, idiotic at the scrum, and downright dangerous around the field with the allowing of the off the ball digs.

Farces is a disgrace of a ref.

Garces is missing a lot of foul place against us. Hits off the ball, deliberate knock ons, the like.

There goes any hope of an entertaining game against France. 80 minutes of the Steve Walsh show...

Have to express my sincere thanks to the Saints fans in section C - they were superb hosts. Having a chat with a couple of their fans during half time they couldn't believe the intensity Leinster brought - they hadn't seen anything like it this year. If it was the same for their team then they won'...

Big difference between the D'Arcy and Davies situation. D'Arcy played well.

Great try tonight

I thought he was pretty woeful to both sides and did his best to ruin the game in his usual attempt to make thousands of paying punters watch the Steve Walsh show. Decent win in the end, with a few tastes of the Joe Show we all know and love. Lots to work on for the next few weeks, but for the first...

Let the Welsh play themselves into oblivion with their Poorgen Cup Mk 2, if they can't see past their pieces of silver. Cut them out of the league and get some more Italian sides in, remove the player management which will no longer be needed because of the lesser number of games, and let them sink.

I've yet to be convinced of any benefits of changing the HC & Amlin whatsoever. I've yet to see any real reasons too.
