We've been getting away with a few of these performances of late - at some point you feel we'll get our hoops kicked.

We now sit 12 points ahead of Stormers who have two games in hand and 17 ahead of Bulls who are level on games played.

Can't ask for much more than that. This was a critical game in the context of the league and will allow us breathing room for a loss or two later in the year.

Wouldn't have won it without playing some of the senior guys either.

Wales are going to give us (Ireland) a serious test in Cardiff with Gattie back.

Super result. Hopefully not too high a cost. Another almost 80 minute game from Sheehan.

Ross turned everything around. What a consistent, reliable player he is. Long may he be underestimated outside Leinster.
It wasn’t all his fault, but his brother really blew his opportunity. Again.

Leinsters scrum has become a huge issue.

They had little cutting edge behind their scrum with the exception of Williams barrelling on to the ball.

We've won 93% of our scrums in the league this season.

It's clearly not a 'huge issue'.

There's not too many better than Ospreys front five. However, we brought in Jenkins for a reason and have given Joe Mc as much game time as we do. The scrum is not just about props.

I'm reasonably confident that Leinster (and Ireland) now have a scrum which can survive almost anything that will be thrown at them. However, Wales can still produce a big and difficult team to play us in the 6N.

Well argued with wit and insight as usual GG!

(For anyone else who's wondering, we actually have 100% scrum success so far in Europe, including 3 pens won against Racing.)

Our first choice players are as good as anything out there, the problem is the lack of depth and lack of players coming through at LH and TH for Ireland and Leinster.
