bingo

disappointing looking crowd

Buer

Very soft high tackle. Tackled perfectly and other arm from non impact shoulder went up around carrier's shoulder.

errlloyd

Glasgow came to play. Thought Ross did enough to get thr maul.

irishbucsfan

Ross Byrne being pushed out to the wing in defense? That cannot be a long term option

errlloyd

That is some try

Buer

Lovely try and delighted for Dom Ryan. Great to see on what's probably his last appearance in the RDS.

errlloyd

And unselfish from Kirch on what might be his last.

dregin

Marius has a fierce blind spot for the aul forward passes, doesn't he?

irishbucsfan

Dom Ryan blocks the defender and then finishes the try himself a second later!

any word on where Ryan is going for next season?

Buer

And thus ended the Leinster career of Ryan. Crowd didn't realise it. Ryan did. Gave a little wave as he started jogging off, looked a little upset.

Zzippy

Lucky break there!

Buer

Could be a BP win here. Glasgow very ropey in defence. Lucky try but was a nice kick and good challenge from Byrne.

irishbucsfan

Lough for the Lions

errlloyd

How lucky have Leinster got with those sorts of drops this season .

irishbucsfan

That was very nicely defended

we seem to be feeling up the glasgow players more often than actually tackling them

The auld Joe Schmidt special is the anti-offload reacharound

EDIT: Coincidentally the man who went off for his last game tonight won their tackle of the year for pulling off exactly that

Lovely bit of pressure there from Fergus. God he's awful.

wp_rathead

Should have been penalty to Leinster as Glasgow not supporting his own weight - but was daft by Ferg to pick an go with no backup in first place

irishbucsfan

Ah that's brilliant from Kirchner there

connemara man

Great defense there. Glasgow should have gone wide earlier but Leinster are very well organised

Line was far to slow in support. Mick Kearney just standing there waiting for an outhalf and wing to clear out two of their back row.

Buer

Very silly offside from Byrne. Rare to see that called.

connemara man

Leinster's ruck shenanigans being strictly policed

What happened to Dom Ryan by the way?

McCarthy looks solid

Arm/shoulder injury.

looked like he went off with a shoulder injury. not sure how it happened

This commentator's voice is horrible

Looking like a real option. Some passes a bit unsympathetic though. Lashing them high out to receiver.

connemara man

Really well worked maul

Buer

Mighty maul. Glasgow infringed about a half dozen times there. Possible man in the bin if that stopped short.

Buer

Buer wrote: »

If he hasn't signed for another club yet that's going to complicate things. Very unfortunate.

Really should be a card at this stage, that's 4 / 5 infringements in the last 10 minutes.

errlloyd

Glasgow need to be better in the second half.

Bridge93

Glasgow totally disinterested in defence

wp_rathead

Ah feck thought for a second it was Ross who down that

irishbucsfan

Happy for Dooley.

But there was a moment there. Where my heart skipped a beat. For the slightest second I saw a man of great proportions lying on that ball over the line and I allowed myself to believe.

May get rid of him so, scrum halves never get better with game time or coaching unfortunately. :cool: (I'm hoping I'll get away with this if awec is at the game)

pickarooney

Daly very lazy looking running onto that. Should have been a try.

errlloyd

Leinster have had a few great moments, but mostly fairly average. And they're causing this.

irishbucsfan

Leinster's defense out wide is very good tonight when Glasgow have numbers. They make the vertical space disappear so fast.

He what now?

irishbucsfan

I got so bored with Fan Linning that I missed the start of the half and now Glasgow are mauling us over our own line. Terrible stuff.

Clegg

Is that really not a clear and obvious knock on?
