Lyon v Leinster R2 HCC 23 Nov 2019

[wixfjord]

Poor start from us. Too many errors.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Super try! Josh has started brilliantly and did superbly there. I like how he pass quickly to the guy with the pace...Ryan

Strong from Deegan too. Good play all round.

Who Flier?

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Larmour's workrate and the way he reads/times everything is phenomenal.

Better than my timing unfortunately...sorry

[tingman]

Jesus Luke has been dodgy so far

[Laighin Break]

There was nearly 1m20 eaten into Larmour's sin-binning before the ball was put into the ensuing scrum!

[wixfjord]

I think Tadhg has the edge on their scrum but has been unlucky so far.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Jesus Luke has been dodgy so far

From the back of the scrum? Not his fault Deegan let the ball fly out the back of it.

Thought Luke had a horrible first ten mins though alright.

[wixfjord]

Maul looking very good. Our best attacking weapon so far.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Surely there were two penalties in our favour there? Rob wasn't allowed up and it was a seatbelt tackle.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Thought Rhys and Healy did brilliantly there, looked fine to me.

[wixfjord]

BIIIIG defence!

VDF was immense there.

Now get it off the pitch here please Luke.

[OTT]

Super defence, huge work rate.

[wixfjord]

The Deegan/McGrath axis at back of the scrum is looking very dodgy.

[tingman]

first 12 mins sin bin in rugby history

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Josh has been unbelievably good. James Ryan not far behind.

Really strong defence at times. Pity we lost a couple of lineouts at key times, think we'd be further ahead if we'd got them. Kelleher has generally been excellent though, so physical in everything he does and so quick to get up and go again.

You can tell Lyon are wrecked after a few phases. Carriers end up being totally isolated and are standing still even though the team has momentum.

[Dave Cahill]

Henshaw has been excellent without the ball - with the ball, not so much

[Dave Cahill]

James Lowe has been invisible, he hasn't been mentioned once.

George Lowe however....

[Twist]

Good scoreline but we looked increasingly ropey as that half progressed. Glad HT came when it did

Almost as frustrating; George Lowe, Flier, McGraTH, Tad Furlong... Even Mick McCarthy got a mention
