Yeah I'm having an issue here also - it's saying 'stream is not available yet', not sure what that means but I'll keep ye all posted.

i am watching on app, its fine for me.

i think Leinster will be too good for wasps if Leinster can bring close to their best game.

I watched wasps against Exeter and they were good for the first half but as soon as Exeter started to control the game Wasps leaked tries. A game that is a bit disjointed will suit Wasps so Leinster need to set the pace and control it.

I think Leinster if they play well will win by 25+.

Just in rds, weather has cleared up nicely. Bit breezy and ground is wet but otherwise perfect.

Actually a lovely night for a game, very warm.

Hairy Joe taking tee kicks before the game....

Lets hope we're not that hard out for a kicker

Stheno

What time is kick off?

sydthebeat

Tom Daly out running freely and kicking balls as well... Good to see

Thanks was on a flight and it ran late

this game should be Ace. hope the rain doesnt Stream down for this.

Clegg

Despite Wasps missing key players and Leinster being pretty damn good I'm still a bit nervous. There are very few poor sides in this competition. Things go well for Wasps on the day and they come out with a win.

cameramonkey

leavy out, ruddock in.

Bazzo

Leavy out and Ruddock in according to BT.

Clegg

Conditions very calm as well. No wind and no rain means good things for the Wasps backs. Up to Leinster's pack to put it up to theirs.

Clegg

Robbed once again of seeing a backrow comprised entirely of opensides.

Odd that Ruddock comes straight into the starting XV instead of O'Brien moving from the bench to starting.

Because Ruddock is our best 6.

*hides*

In all seriousness. I hope it's nothing major with Leavy and he just got a stinger. He's had an awful start to the season injury-wise.

Actually really liking that new European kit, now that I'm seeing it live, so to speak.

Cynic in me thinks this was planned?

Bazzo

Is BOD actually watching the match? Hadn't a clue what led to that scrum.

Now of course would be the time Eir stops working on my browser. FFS.

Great spot from Cronin.

Wasps aren't throwing many into the breakdown. Fanning out in a line but that left gaps for Cronin to go through the middle.

That's a terrific individual effort. Very aware and will really disrupt wasps early on.

Bazzo

McGrath... Poite was very clear about it being brought back in

mangobob

Some engine on Cronin.

mangobob

fair play to poite

Mushy

The bt commentator said the try was against the run of play. Wasps had done nothing to indicate it was against the run of play, Leinster had all the ball.

Great play though

Kevski

Sean O’Brien is warming up in front of me here at the north stand and I’d swear that he has lost weight

joseywhales

I'm not a religious man but I think we should take a moment to pray for the wasps pack and halfbacks when Leinster unload that bench

Go Leinster, Go! GO!

chupacabra

Is it just me or are Wasps offside an awful lot?

cameramonkey

leinster making mistakes

Terrific take from Larmour.

ScrubsfanChris

Great commentary by Dallaglio, Elliot Daly trying to put the kick in for Elliot Daly......

Hurrache

Wasp's plan is obviously to try hold everyone up in the tackle.

prawnsambo

Sexton doing the dummy loop.

Clegg

Not a good opening 20.

Riddled with Leinster errors.

Sexton is a wizard.

In fairness BOD mentioned earlier that Bath need more possession.

That was a poor pass from McGrath

Buer

Some good play, some sloppy. That would have been a top class try if they hadn't knocked on. Sloppy pass from McGrath although Healy should have still had better control on it going to ground.

kal7

Glad refs policing hooker moving towards own team in line out. Maybe mainly for safety but really annoyed me that. Like crooked put ins at scrum.

leakyboots

Healy has knocked on a couple of times so far. Leinster defence is strangling Wasps

cameramonkey

too many mistakes by leinster

Podge_irl

sigh....so Switzerland now have a legit online streaming option for pretty much all rugby, which is great. Watched Leinster-Munster on it last week. Apparently the Champions Cup is sufficiently popular to have it over-dubbed into bloody German though.

Clegg

Last pass not sticking.

Has happened a few times tonight already.
