hopefully Reddan is getting all the brainfarts out of the system early

Swiwi.

Reddan needs to calm down at times. No need for a quick tap there!

Buer

Reddan you lucky boy. Mad decision. Boss to come on now, hopefully. Reddan will be wrecked by now anyway.

Scarlets crowd are delightful eh?

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience

Gopperth the best of the Leinster backs anyway, kicking out of hand has been very good too

Have to say Jimmy G is impressing me with his kicks

Murphy has shown some very good composure at times with a messy scrum, too many slipped tackles though

Dave K has looked sharp but hasn't really been involved enough, and the yellow was very poor too

Fanning having a decent game. Certainly able to play at this level. Could be a decent squad player

Buer

Hugo time.

Swiwi.

For the Scarlets, Priestland looks better than his woeful form of a few months back.

Indeed.

Buer

Gopperth has a focking massive hoof.

How did he catch that and not Leinsters wibblywobblies

What's the score?

RuggieBear

sweet!!!!!

oh ffs lacey!

Buer

What has struck me, aside from the scrums, is the complete lack of turnover or calls at the breakdown. Lacey happy to let ball be slowed down but also ignoring a couple of legitimate turnover penalties for both sides.

YES. Great stuff.

Swan Curry

That was beautiful.

Podge_irl

Probably should have closed out my Scarlets -4 when they were up by 10. Ah well, we're looking at Leinster's first win in the opening game in 7 years so **** it!

Burgo

Ha McGrath has a pair of legs on him to be sure.

Buer

Lacey and TJ letting themselves down with the reliance on TMO.

Larbre34

Tad lateral....


But yay!!

sweet strike

Mahatma Geansai

Fair play lads. You haven't forgotten how to win a game anyway.

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience

great first outing for Leinster it has to be said. Gopperth may push Madigan lads........

Oh my d****ing god, that kick

Larbre34

Jimmy 'Carter' ;-)

Zzippy

Jaysus Leinster have 2 bloody good kickers this year

Swiwi.

Gopperth, you beauty. Lovely striking of the ball.

goose06

going to be some epic battle for 10 this season

RuggieBear

come on BP

Swan Curry

Anyone else think Murphy's pass was a tad forward?

Quint2010

Its the direction of the hands that always determine if the pass is forward or not. Hands clearly went back there so good try and excellent again from Gopperth. Scarlets imploding here BP is on..

shuffol

Glad Murphys pass wasnt looked at by the TMO, some try though.

RuggieBear

boss with the worst feed of the night

Midnight64

Not as forward as Reddan's feeds!!

matthew8

Give it crooked if you like, but don't make it obvious by standing in front of the second row too Boss.

Buer

Score is very flattering on Leinster. Some big performances carrying others. Ruddock has been very good. Gopperth has been really intelligent and kept things moving and directed everything. Toner has been everywhere.

How come crooked by leinster is a penalty, but av few min ago crooked by scarlwts was a free kick

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience

Boss is sitting on the bench all night, watching both 9's getting pinged for crooked feeding. You'd think he wouldn't do it himself then!

We've had so many crooked put-ins and the laws now say it's a free kick, then penalty if it keeps happening, then a yellow card!
Scarlett's haven't been as bad as us.
Theoretically Boss should have been carded, he got away with it because he was just on the pitch.

RuggieBear

get the **** in!!!!

Midnight64

BP!!!

Tox56

About time, they've been at it all night
