Stormers v Leinster Sat 30 Apr KO 5:15pm RTE 2

[Dave Cahill]

Soroka needing the situation explained to him probably shows how much the coaches cared about these games

Thats why backs are backs and forwards are forwards!

[Barry]

Has a bad feeling that we'd take a hammering, an incredible performance by all 23.

The lack of awareness of the league situation by the RTE commentary team was shocking.

Guys two losing bonus points on this trip - an absolute achievement, so proud of the whole squad

Indeed, couple of thickos in the row

Yeah so we’re on 62, next best is 56, so we can’t be caught right?

They're no rocket scienti....oh.

Job done with the LBP - but not just that, an absolutely super performance from a really young and inxperienced team against one of the worlds premier sides AND a hugely successful tour

+1

Two losses but hard to disagree. Scrum a big work on but there isn’t much else that would concern me and even that doesn’t worry me that much because some decisions were poor, Clarkson is young, and we have so many different second rows (Ryan, Baird, Molony, McCarthy, Jenkins, and maybe Charlie Ryan!) to appear next season.

Really sad to see Dunne go and it’s such a pity he didn’t play more early in the season. His appetite for work is ferocious and he does so much important stuff like latching on or clearing rucks that doesn’t get much attention.

We can now play the kids against Munster which is a huge benefit.

[Theleinsterlad]

We have some more great talent coming through what a pair of games

[OTT]

Soroka got player of the match according to Ultimate Rugby, well deserved.

After that tour, I think they'll get a great reception!!!

Im usually a fan of both comms but continuously thinking that Deeney had given away a penalty in the first half after a tackle by himself and Penny when it was actually Murphy and Russell was also really poor.

Sad to see Adam Byrne probably play his last game in blue and to go off without much ado, before his injuries started mounting up it looked like the sky was the limit for the guy

Talent but lots of fight in them as well. Maybe I’m still scarred from the early 2000s but I think that’s just as important!

And Lenihan repeatedly saying Frawley was obstructed for the disallowed try at the beginning despite so many replays

Munster game is the weekend between the European semi and final so we may yet be very glad of not needing any points from that game.

Great article in the Guardian today comparing Jordan Henderson and Jonjo Shelvey, and Mark Ramprakash and other batsmen, about how hard work and fight trumps talent without it

They're watching it off a small screen in fairness.
