Leinster will hit 60 here if they want to

Leinster clearly seeing this as a training session with all of the experimental plays.

I imagine the game will die a death after the break and scores will dry up.

On the plus side we're almost guaranteed to see Jack Dunne make his debut and Jimmy O'Brien get a good run out too.

Buer

Zebre are rabble. They're crawling up to their own attacking line out. Looked like they couldn't decide on the call amongst themselves.

troyzer

Who is that c**t in the crowd with the cowbell?

randomname2005

What happened to the two Zebre players replaced? Think they got a sniff of what was about to happen?

The Blue Oyster C**t.

If anyone gets that reference, hats off to you.

Very sloppy

Missed the first 23 mins. Leinster got 3 tries. Have seen the last 10. Zebre get 2 tries. Sorry folks.

Exactly the same situation as myself. Not feeling this game.

How do we ruin this masterpiece?

I know, let's put a ****ing metronome cowbell over the whole song.

It's like St. Anger and that ****ing snare drum.

troyzer

Lol.

U wot m8?

Larbre34

Delighted to see them fight back, facile games do neither team nor the league any good.

All the same, wake up Leinster ta fook.

What the fúck is this game

Zzippy

Leinster defence a shambles there

Buer

Game on. Leinster completely asleep and Zebre are suddenly interested.

Jack McGrath's hopes of an Irish recall disappeared with that scrum although Porter was mangled. Could see Ryan starting if Furlong was out.

A-Train

Shambles of a collapse by Leinster. Still expect them to win but not good enough to completely turn off like that in a match.

mangobob

Leinster have absolutely fallen apart in the last few minutes. Now we were absolutely manshamed and demolished in a scrum and we have completely lost the plot in defence.

I still think we will win, but this has been a shocking period of the game.

munsterlegend

Leinster are a joke here. Talk about no leadership.

Should have kicked ball of pitch for half time and regrouped.

Buer

Ross Byrne sparked again. Have to consider removing him.

Also has to be a question about contact with the head from tackler.

Buer

People need to relax. Leinster are still going to win with a BP. They fell apart for 10 minutes after completely dominating.

They'll get a roasting at half time and tighten up.

Starting going for highlight reel stuff instead of keeping it simple which is where they got the tries from

troyzer

Porter was getting battered in the scrum during his England and Scotland appearances. He's brutal again today.

I'm starting to really worry about his scrummaging.

I don't disagree with you, but to concede 3 tries in 10 minutes against the worst team in the league is completely unacceptable under any circumstances and at any level of the game.

That roasting should be followed by almighty kick up the arse and boot to the boll*x for good measure.

Clegg

Porter is 23 and only converted to tighthead a few years ago. It takes years for them to develop their scrummaging game.

I'm more concerned about Leinster's away games following a similar pattern where the team completely loses focus for a 10-15 minute period. It's happened multiple times without being sorted.

errlloyd

I think Ian Davies is being very generous to the team in possession. It seems very hard to get that ball back once you've lost it.

Have you not seen Dragons play this season?

Leinster have a bit of a history of falling asleep a bit in games where they feel comfortable. Was it Bath in the Aviva under Joe where they conceded 2 or 3 tries in the last quarter?

antietam1

Porter is would be convert from Lh, TH is much harder.
