Very mixed performance despite the score.

Lots of sloppiness, passing is poor and backline missing a bit of power.

Henshaw will help a lot there.

I forgot Baird was playing for the first 30.

Joe McCarthy & Sheehan very powerful in the maul.

Larmour did so well to hold up Brown, big turnover. In open play he's looking really dangerous too.

Hopefully we remove the errors in second half and things start to flow a bit. Glasgow are muck.

Team needed the type of lift Larmour is giving them.

Not disagreeing it was a penalty and yellow, still remains that he took a dramatic dive a second or after the contact

Much better second half, particularly first 15 we blew them away.

Getting a bit embarrassing. If it was a schoolboys match the coach would be asking the ref to blow it early.

Was embarrassing a long time ago.

That chase back and tackle by Frawley was outstanding. When so far ahead he could have just let him score.

Hubert Cahill described the crowd's cheer as sarcastic for Frawley's tackle, which it certainly wasn't. He's often so unnecessarily negative

McGrath's passing was really substandard. I followed about 6 or 7 in a row and only 1 was acceptable.

JGP had a few really dodgy ones too.

Along with lineout throwing some questions about specific positional skillsets there.

After a quiet start, that was some blowout! Just the thing to get the lads' confidence back up for the upcoming semi vs the Bulls. I was particularly impressed by Larmour, Sheehan, McCarthy and Frawley. Our lineouts may have gone to pot in the second half, but the improvement in our scrum from struggling initially to totally dominant by the second half was heartening.

It's a nice confidence boost but it may be a lot more reflective of Glasgow's effort rather than Leinster technical improvement.

Lovely to see Larmour running circles around people and Doris was carrying for fun by the end. But honestly not too sure what to make of it all, Glasgow absolutely atrocious and their off the ball work rate was non existent leaving endless space for us. Harlem globe trotters by the end.

Was chatting to him after the match, he’s good craic. He had to talk about that game for 80 minutes and it was over after 40

Glad someone else mentioned it first lest I be accused of bias. Jaysus he threw some shockers to the ground and player's bootlaces under little pressure.

Is there a draw for the HEC or do we face bottom seeds from France and emgland?

Cormac Foley and Ben Murphy both look like they might be very good as longer-term 9 options. We need them.
