COB, his passing had been excellent before that as well, really pushing himself and doing well.

His carrying is incredible but he has a long way to go, hate that he's offside all the time, not sure how he keeps getting away with it.

He's been poor apart from the try really.

I'm delighted with this, it was a total non event until Zebre scored :lol:

Really dreadful after the first 25 minutes.
This on the back of a pretty awful showing against Scarlets last time out

This group of players aren’t as good as many believe, a few harsh truths need to be told at half time

Yeah, it's not like they've been an important part of us topping the league with 17 points to spare. :lol:

Will ye relax. We've been a joke for 15 minutes but before that we scored three tries in second gear.

Top of the league by 17 points. Not sure what people are looking for to be honest.

A lot of them probably are (potentially) as good as people believe the big issue is consistency/concentration. They wouldn’t keep opening up scores like they do consistently if they didn’t have that ability, the big issue I’d see is they seem to switch off when they think they’re safe which personally I’d put back to leadership that goes missing with the internationals

I know the whole team switched off after the third try but I've been really disappointed with the back row. Josh has been caught defensively a few times and that's supposed to be his strength. Doris has chose some bad options and needs to be more physical IMO, might be harsh to say he should have done better when the ball popped out of the scrum but I think he should have done more to try and control it. Deegan needs to get more involved and can look lazy for basic things like getting into position when JGP is going to kick, and he blew an overlap by taking the ball into contact and trying an offload instead of just putting it through the hands early.

Only good thing about this is some of the women in the crowd are worth tuning in to have a look at because the Leinster performance isn't enough of a reason!! Terrible stuff from a fairly experienced team out there!! Don't see what doris brings to the table at all. Lazy, doesn't carry hard, poor tackler and no appetite for work.

Pretty shocking stuff. Zebre on top since 25 mins. Not confident we’ll win this to be honest.
