That’s a first

I hope we give Ryan Baird and Porter enough caffeine tablets at HT to have them go beast mode around 55/60 mins!

[Peg Leg]

Who scored that? Give that lad a contract!!

[wixfjord]

Luke passed that turnover to Dev's bootlaces and should of thrown the ball at Botia to get a pen.

[Fan with smartphone]

Looked like tackle was completed on 2

[Peg Leg]

Solid D from LaR

Who went off? Rhys?

Who went off? Rhys?

Yep

French TV directing is f%~king awful. I want to see the plays, not avante garde art films.

[wixfjord]

Luke's passing again costs us.

Just not good enough in big games.

Ross poor too.

[wixfjord]

A score before HT would be nice.

Do you not think b. might have something to do with a.

I was referring to Byrne's poor pass to Lowe.

[blaker]

Fairly uncontrolled / poorly managed from us so far.
Few errors hurting progress / momentum.
And they’re a damn fine side

[Theleinsterlad]

What did Rhys go off for?

[Atlas]

Who went off? Rhys?

Yep

Any update on why he went off?

[Twist]

There was a lot to be concerned about there, I think. We aren’t getting through many phases in possession, and they are. We’ve thrown far too many passes into the ground too. Their enormous forwards seem to be slowly making ground.

Really we’ve lived off their errors and poor discipline

I'd say that actually we've looked dangerous when we've had the ball and if we stop making mistakes we can win this. Their big forwards will tire.

40 minutes isn’t enough of that. Borgourait has mistakes in him and should’ve been penalised in lead up to their first score I thought. You don’t want them getting any more momentum out of the blocks here. They are edging it physically, Ruddock a big big loss in that regard, but think Leinster lineout can get in top and do feel like there’s a break out wide for Larmour or Lowe to be had. It’s over so quick though, 40 minutes could come and go and the chance might never come. Hard to call.
