The handling by Leinster 1 - 15 is something to behold. McGrath catching off the deck more than once. Cullen, Masrshall and many more really supporting runners well.
Love the way Goodman straightens the line every time he gets the ball, gives the players around him so much more space.

Jordi Murphy playing very well again.....he's lucky he wasn't seriously hurt when taken out at that lineout....

[outcast eddie]

Noel Reid pulled off just after half time.....oooer!

Cant see the game how did he do?

Deserved to be substituted for missing a penalty directly in front of the posts on the 22. Pure carelessness. Did OK apart from that, no highlights that I noticed although my stream died for about 15 minutes of the first half.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.........the application and belligerence of that "shadow" team.........

And the bonus point icing on the cake. Surprisingly easy victory with one (Leo) of our first choice team starting. Definitely strengthened by Madigan and Ferg coming on for the second half. Our young players (special mentions for McGrath and Murphy) are very good.

A bit OTT, poor attempt but he linked well with his backs throughout.
Not a commanding presence, but a threatening one.

Although I think Madigan at HT was a given regardless of how Reid played.
Standout players tonight-
Goodman scored a great try, had a lot to do and made all the right moves. Good second 5/8.
Murphy and Ryan are a real menace in attack and put in a serious shift in defense. Murphy looks dangerous every time he gets the ball.
Bent played great in the loose and forced a couple of turnovers, took a couple of scrums to get up to speed tonight, but solid thereafter.
Leo, like a demon tonight.
Marshall must be a horrible player to play against, he is so agile for his size.
Madigan played a blinder for his 40 mins, like Murphy, he made yards everytime he found a gap.
McGrath was tireless also.....

OK thats half team. but in saying that they each managed to standout for their particular efforts......
Not the best Scarlets team mind,

Plus we're now the top points scorers in the league.

Dare I day it, one of best international period performances ever. Brilliant!!

After singing the praises of half the team in my last post and excluding Dundon he picked up MOM, it was that type of game.

Considering how dirty a night it is, credit to the lads that they played their game, weather be damned.

[bluemagic]

Dundon I think is the best thrower in the squad. Never seen him have a bad day with the darts

Very very pleased with the BP tonight. Thought just a win would be good but the yunfilits played very well. Madigan made some impact in the 2nd. Jordi Murphy is our Wreck-it Ralph, what a bruiser. Goodman is a big strong lad, brilliant team try for the 1st. Cullen being interviewed at the end stated that he was very disappointed not to be in the Irish squad.

Really enjoyed that game.

Special word of praise to... the ref. one of the best we've had in a long time. Kept the game flowing nicely. No monkey business allowed at the breakdown. He even penalised for offside on a couple of occasions!

Amazing after watching the like of Random Poite...



This puts us 5 points behind Ulster at the top.

. Cullen being interviewed at the end stated that he was very disappointed not to be in the Irish squad.

I guess that was more lip service than anything else. He effectively gave up any chance of an international call up when he elected to go for surgery during the international window to be fit for Leinster.

Goodman missed the two kicks in front of the posts. He was handling the kicking duties in the first half.

Reid did ok, didn't do a whole lot wrong but Madigan added an extra dimension when he came on.

[noeldempsey]

Reid missed one kick in front of the post

Reid took one (the one that hit the post) when Goodman was getting treated for injury.
