Now that's Leinster rugby!

.ak

Wow, they just turned on the goods.

Burgo

BP in the bag! A nice finish for jimmy too.

Mahatma Geansai

Bonus point win away in Wales in September? I don't know how you've done it, but keep it up.

Swan Curry

Toner you beaut!

Buer

YOU FOCKING BEAUTY.

Toner can move when he actually opens his legs. Doesn't get much opportunity!

Hagz

MOC for Ireland!

ambid

answer to Leinster's problems in the centre is clearly Devin Toner

Larbre34

Scarlets are broken. Savage by the new boys

P_1

Holy fook, how did we manage to get a TBP here?? Not complaining mind :cool:

shuffol

Gopperth is a class act.

The biggest perk in this match is listening to Jonathan Davis's exasperation. Priceless.

Zzippy

Leinster appear to have signed a gem with Gopperth

Swiwi.

Am I being ridiculously one-eyed in awarding JG MOTM?

Ok, I've been suspicious for a while but who are you and what have you done with MG?

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..

Thank you and goodnight...

Score is very flattering on Leinster.

Is it though, given that Scarlets early try wasnt really one ?

Parawhore.xD

Pity Gopperth can't kick tho

Burgo

"You wouldn't bet against him to miss this" feickin commentators curse.

Hagz

There's the first knock on of the season from McCarthy

First of many to come. Great player when on his game, but he has tits for hands.

Hudson is electric with ball in hand

Ha! As you say it!

I'd have Gopperth. Played so much in his own half and under pressure and directed everything with boot and hand. Even aside from the points total, he has been a very calm and composed player. Murphy has had a belter though after early jitters.

Ginny

Yup Murphy then Gopp.

Thought Williams was trying to break up that fight before he started throwing digs

For all that this is a great result, there is plenty for MOC to look at it if he wants to continue the infamous Monday review sessions.

Scarlets FB should have seen red. Punch to the face.

I give out ****e about rte but fair play for showing this, lets have every game online

Three yellows definitely isn't a good start anyway.

silly yellow from O'Connell

Few too many slipped tackles early on I'd say

More work for the Scarlets though. The wheels have completely fallen off in the last 10 minutes. Doesn't bode well for their season. An away win to start the season is a solid start for Leinster, but yes a bit to work on.

There ya go

Don't listen to me so.

Ginny

Luke's sitting in the stands so it shouldn't be that serious thank god!

Larbre34

Quiz question about oconnell for future use!

Buer

Luke in stand not looking too upset.

Mahatma Geansai

Right call for MOTM. Very impressive for Gopperth to come away with the award considering how poor Reddan was inside him. Leinster might have made a very smart bit of business.

Whoosh there

He has had a good game, Dave Kearney ok but Gopperth a more than capable H Cup starter

Swiwi.

The big Q: can either Madigan or Gopperth move out to 12?

Hagz

45-20 least season to Scarlets. Good bit of revenge.

Karl Stein

Good win for the Champs.

Definitely did not see this game go this way.

ambid

Great hands from Macken for that try.

thomond2006

Watching the soccer, great result for Leinster!

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience

Serious performance. Defensive frailties in the first half but Leinster were lethal with ball in hand. if Macken can sort out his defense he'll be a serious player, as it stands though, it's just not good enough for this level

They can experiment with Gopperth there, but don't ruin our promising young 10

Buer

Complete capitulation by Scarlets. They were right in this and probably on top after an hour, looking like they'd move back ahead.
