What a pick up!

jamiedav2011

What a fecking pick up from Johnny10!

Clearlier

right to call truck and trailer on Leo but I think he forgot about the offside rule, the breach of which caused Leo to become detached.

TheKeenMachine

Sublime hands from Sexton there.

matthew8

Tackle didn't look too high to me. Arm swiping at the ball.

RuggieBear

sexton taking a bit of punishment thus far.

Hopefully these decisions will balance out over the course of the match. Not holding out much hope though...

snollup

Is Leo or Jaimie captain tonight?

jamiedav2011

Super Rob is certainly back anyway!

TheGoldenAges

Kearneys back baby!

Sexton's boots just half a size too big tonight?

Edi are terribad. Going to be an Ire v Italy game I think.

9-6 at HT.

21 - 9 to finish.

RuggieBear

need to kick better than that

snollup

Oh, Rob is back, great take

randomname2005

Rob is just back from being out and hasn't lost the catching skill. Good stuff. Pity about the kick. Johnny might have the fingers but no boots today

shuffol

High tackle looked a yellow to me, BOD was past him and away so he deliberately grabbed him by the neck. Pretty cynical piece of play.

that scoreline looks generous tbh:(

My wife had the same back op, done by the same surgen, two weeks after Rob. I expect her to be taking high balls like him in a couple of weeks.

randomname2005

Was that a bit of a step from O Brien?

keith16

ha ha Carr!

Fionn Carr clearly plays leapfrog... Hilarious

it was unreal tbh. You'd love to see your 12 making space in midfield like that for himself.

Should have been penalised for not releasing the ball once tackled and held.

Dravokivich

Best way to dodge a tackle ever, through the tacklers legs!

Look, I'll never judge whatever a married couple get up to in the privacy of their own bedroom but you've just put an awful picture in my head .

TheKeenMachine

Carr looks hungry tonight. Looks like he knows this is last chance saloon. Darce is having a good game as well.

tackler released immediately in order to challenge for the ball

Looked to me he slipped than got back up again. The other fella stumbled over him.

The tackler has to release too but so should Carr but he held on and crawled with ball in hand. Penalty.

SOB is great

??? SOB was quite clearly on his feet

I would like to see a replay on sextons pass there!!!

It's not. Tackler released him immediately. Before tackle had been complete!

You tell me Carr was held on the ground and I'll point to him being able to stand up without even having to put a hand down.

ongarite

Lovely break from Fitz, released a little too late for Sexton.

Shocking. Absolutely shocking.

awec

Score anyone?

iamjenko

Leinster looking like their slick selves of old! Might not show on the scoreboard yet but surely its only a matter of time...

EmacB

Ooh penalty try.

penalty try and a yellow is really harsh!

One or the other I would've thought...

errlloyd

Denton taking the piss.

Higher

FINALLY. I was about to say that it must be team yellow at this point. But I suppose individual yellow will do

RuggieBear

generous'ish

errlloyd

Denton taking the piss.

A-Train

About time ref did something! Defo penalty try and defo yellow card!

clsmooth

Penalty try??

matthew8

Penalty tries are seriously in fashion lately.

Tox56

Yellow deserved not sure about the penalty try. Edinburgh aren't exactly offering much anyway though
