Tomane really why.

mangobob · 27-10-2018 3:47pm

Treviso have to be happy with that scoreline, considering the teams.

crisco10 · 27-10-2018 3:48pm

The idea of kicking is a good one on a day like today. But very few of them have been contestable, there was 2 at the end there where the treviso fielder didn't even need to get in the air to claim the mark.

Not a great game. A bit mixed too. Some really silly penalties and a few average enough performances but pretty clinical at times too. JGP is in great form at the moment. Think Tracy has gone well too. Crappy conditions mean it was never going to be a great game and any kind of performance would have been tough. We need to get the third try in the third quarter and hope the bench can close it out and get the TBP.

Just catching the end of half highlights, I know the penalty was coming anyway but JGP was ahead of the ball carrier for the second try.

Saw that but think the ref just called it as the same maul. (Neglecting to see jgp had slid up from behind Tracy)

Does it ever not rain in Treviso? It must be like the Mayo of Italy.

27-10-2018 4:03pm

Fardy got a nice elbow in the face there.

27-10-2018 4:04pm

The single most injury prone player in the Leinster squad is Dan Leavy's right eye.

Squidgy Black · 27-10-2018 4:07pm

Kearney gone off. Hopefully just precautionary.

Shefwedfan · 27-10-2018 4:07pm

He was in touch

Synode · 27-10-2018 4:10pm

Lovely delayed pass by JGP

errlloyd · 27-10-2018 4:13pm

Hundred percent a knock on

wtf was the AR looking at? How did he miss that?

errlloyd · 27-10-2018 4:19pm

Henshaw at fullback for the first time since joining Leinster I think

And yet they seem to have no idea how to play the conditions...

Squidgy Black · 27-10-2018 4:20pm

BP wrapped up, not the prettiest of games but got the job done.

sydthebeat · 27-10-2018 4:20pm

Hopefully now we dont take the foot off the pedal and allow them back in this cos we've secured the tbp.

stephen_n · 27-10-2018 4:21pm

That’s the first time Henshaw has played full back for us?

I've a memory of him filling in in the rds in similar circumstances but reckon this will be his longest stint.

Former Former · 27-10-2018 4:23pm

I would much prefer Henshaw was subbed. Stick Reid or Byrne at FB for 15 mins, be grand.

27-10-2018 4:25pm

Rory O'Loughlin has had a really good game. Leavy also showing a return to form.

errlloyd · 27-10-2018 4:31pm

Tomane tackled early.

Red card, penalty try. Nailed on. ;-)

I definitely thought so, but it wasn’t even mentioned

crisco10 · 27-10-2018 4:37pm

Whitehouse makes a lot of excuses for the tackler not rolling..has no interest in penalising either team

sydthebeat · 27-10-2018 4:40pm

Good man Joe!!!

stephen_n · 27-10-2018 4:41pm

Lovely little kick by Reid there

27-10-2018 4:44pm

Even tho the game is over I think Tomane needed that. Looks nervy and hesitant at times, that might help settle things a bit.

Former Former · 27-10-2018 4:57pm

I know the game was long over but Reid was very good. O'Brien put himself about when he came on too.

I think we've reached the point where Fardy should be the odd man out in the Kolpak decisions.
