Serb, I'm ignoring your quote from a few minutes before this. You're a visionary.

Does Frank not know that side entries are illegal? Someone going to get badly hurt if he keeps this up.

Connacht defensive maul has been a shambles all season.

Just said the same, he's had no impact at all, very strange.

This is on track to be the highest scoring game ever between these sides. Current record is 69 points, when we beat them 49-20 twenty years ago.

This is a bit of a forward battering.

Nice to see, but again you'd have to wonder how these types of league games serve Leinster when you look at last week.

Even the most ardent Pro14/Rainbow Cup booster would have to admit it's a totally different level.

Just realised we have no 10 on the pitch now that Ross Byrne is off.

Showed great hands in the lead up to Keenan’s second and was really aggressive in defence in the first half at times. I expected more but I think he’s been good.

You're right, just missing those arcing runs I guess

Not a bad performance with our 6th choice out half. :lol:

Pap can’t reach back for the ball in the ruck like that, so obvious.

Garry to 9 and Luke to 13 next season?

Very unlike Dave to mess that up but that’s a brilliant tackle!

Edit: especially when his team are getting pumped and he just ran back so far!
