Poite managed to arse up that whole situation.Didn't matter what the tmo was telling him, he wanted to give a card to someone so just decided what he wants.

Nothing in it from either side imo.

Grind it out Leinster. Come on!!

The TMO and Poite messed that up.

Throwing a ball in face = yellow card
Madigans reaction= yellow card
Gouging= Red

He wasnt sure of gouging, thats why its only a yelow..

Tmo even said it wasnt near the eye Poite misheard.

Absolutely.

McCarthy got of lightly as far as I'm concerned.

Kicked it all off by winding Care up.

Winding somebody up isn't an offence

They needed to run that up.

Kanrith

Ah no..... no penalties now.

Mahatma Geansai

And Cronin shíts himself when the pressure comes on. Nail biting stuff here.

randy hickey

Madigan's gonna have some shiner tomorrow.

Clegg

What odds we lose a pen

Buer

Are you f*cking kidding me? Scrum with clock on 80?

Even if there were doubt over whether there fingers in the eyes, hands on the face like that and it should be a red

He said the punch was near the eye.

Two lineouts lost in the last minute from Leinster.

What do you mean here?

20 minute delay , talk about punches and he yellow cards someone for hands near the eyes but not in the eyes but maybe a gouge

randy hickey

Win, just.

God we're terrible. Fluff the line out then butcher posession without going anywhere.

Get cleared down field and now were in a scrum.

Awful stuff from Leinster.

funtime93

Well that was ****ing dreadful.

Kanrith

Uhh... I'll take that, when are SOB and Healy coming back?

its_phil

Leinster really need to get themselves together. They can't keep playing like this and get the results. They're so much better than this.

Buer

Horrible, truly horrible, second half. We tried every way to f*ck that up.

Piliger

Lineout disaster ... talk about stumbling blind over the line......

What's the feckin score lads nail biting stuff can't wait to see highlights

randy hickey

You'd have to feel hard done by if you were a 'Quins supporter.

You've 30 seconds left, you need to keep the ball to stay in Europe, and you have a lineout.

So the obvious choice is obviously launch a risky one right to the back of the lineout.

WHAT THE ****. Who made that decision, honest to god.

Clegg

Crap performance. Gameplan isn't there, but in fairness to MoC neither are some of the players.

Beaner1

Leinster stole that one. A missed kick from in front of the posts did it.

Was it not in the nov series. Remember the "fwd" try Australia scored in the first half down in the corner. Commentators bemoaned not being able to hear the tmo

LuckyGent88

Just about get the win. Completely unconvincing once again. Leinster awful in the second half. Two great snipes from reddan won the game for Leinster basically.

Don't watch the highlights, you'll be doing yourself a favour.

funtime93

Hats off to Reddan.He basically won the game for Leinster.

thelad95

It's inevitable how this will play out. We'll do just about enough to beat Castres at home, a plucky win away to Wasps before being battered in an away quarter-final.

slippy wicket

That was squeaky bum stuff alright.
Plenty to improve on.

Tox56

Scrum crap, attack crap and BT commentary god awful

If we win the next two games our only hope is SOB and Healy coming back and dragging us over the line in big games, more likely in the Rabo, even with those two Europe looks beyond us

14 - 13 to Leinster.

We're not going anywhere this season if we keep chancing fate like that.

Think g hook offered to spend a day with sean Cronin to teach him to line out throw:rolleyes:

Though at this rate....

Mahatma Geansai

Very fortunate. At the end of the day, a win is a win, but I've a feeling that the Quins won't be too enamored with Poite after that.

Quite a poor game though. It's very worrying to see the Irish frontrow get reamed like that.

Awful line out call who ever made it anyway. Surely to the front was the only option really.
Could have cost Leinster the win.

Ah Christ, the stadium announcer... Can he not tell when it's time to use a different tone of voice?


"Yellow card for HARLEQUINS--number 4, CHARLIE MATHEWS!!!111"

Effectively never. Both are career endingly crocked.

Maybe it was actually, I can't remember and now I'm confused. Full sure though it hasn't been in effect in the ERCC.
