What's the deal with all the pink boots on the Wasp's team, is it because they play like sissies?

Given its October, i'd say its for breast cancer, but go ahead with pejorative language

ah here, maybe the fella simply didn't know that, benefit of the doubt and all that

razorblunt

BT really not chatting enough about how abysmal Wasps are.

Clegg

Dunno if it was picked up on camera but Elliot Daly was furious at his teammate for blocking him from tackling Larmour/not tackling Larmour himself. Gave him a huge shove and shouted at him.

Squidgy Black

Well that was lovely anyways.

Yeah, maybe it was just plain old misogynism

It would be nice if James Lowe had a bit more distance on his touch finders.

Yup, lineout inside the opposition 22 from the Leinster in-goal area would be nice every now and than

Damage limitation says Dallaglio. They're 39 points down FFS.

As I said before, they have to play to their audience.....


Can't really slag off how sh*t Wasps are and next week tell everyone how brillant they are in the Premiership.....


Wasps remember are 3rd in the Premiership

Cancer, but you go ahead and make an asshat of yourself with the bigoted language.

Cop on,. pejorative language my arse, it was a joke based on how they're playing made obvious to my subsequent post.

It's the PC lounge you're looking for. Jesus Christ (hope you're not a Christian), people getting upset by the use of the word sissies now.

Still no need for the derogatory language

35 points in just over 40 minutes.

Chiorino

Elliot Daly not a bit happy with that try. Gave one of his own players (Sopoaga I think) a good shove in the back.

You don't think it was pejorative?

Sopoaga has been horrendous tonight. Literally everything he's done has been sh1t

Shefwedfan

Henshaw and Ringrose deserved that.....

Try_harder

Robbie!!!!

This is what is known as a "paddling"

He only just joined them


i would be more concerned about the rest of the team also been complete sh*t and have been their a few seasons

Squidgy Black

Wasps have literally nothing to show from this.

It's like a training exercise for Leinster where once the ball gets to our 22 we swap sides.

Shefwedfan

Honeslty how many kicks off's have Wasps messed up

Try_harder

They've been more moths than wasps...

mangobob

I think poor oul Sopoaga is going to have nightmares about his trip to Dublin.

razorblunt

Citing for Ruddock.
No arms in that tackle. The Wasps doctor should tell him they're winning.

swiwi_

I know my citrus fruits, and Lima Sopoaga is an expensive lemon.

He was pretty damn ordinary in his last year in NZ, and he's been poor tonight.

Poite nailing the HIA.

Ruddock needs to send a crate of beer his way.

I'll imagine he'll be a bit quieter on Twitter for the next few days....

Absolutely not in the context, but people will always look for offence where there is none.

Has a ref gone off like that before? That's a thumping for wasps

Yeah think there was something similar last season with Garces where he took a knock and had to go off.

FFS, what's with the sexism?

prawnsambo

Well there'll be no complaints about Sean Cronin's two 'indisctretions' now.

That'll do pig.


That'll do.

razorblunt

Poite took that hit better than some of the Wasps defenders.

Ruddock was MOTM for me, an absolute machine.

Sopoaga looks like the definition of a good time charlie.

Someone give him some euros to get back to the airport.

A few years ago didn't a ref pull his hamstring during a match, I think it was Leinster. Had to go off

I dont go looking for offence but I will call out sexist reductive pejorative language

Mathieu Raynal in 2014 comes to mind. I've seen at least one more.

That will do pig. That will do.

Edit: Emmet in before me. Great minds etc.

Craig Doyle spent a while creaming over him before the get on how good he was. Again maybe playing to the UK audience but he couldn't have been further from the truth.

A very poor outing from him...

There was also the French ref that got his leg broken badly a good few years ago

What's a different spelling? V defensive.

Lowe was pure entertainment as usual but Ruddock, Ryan and Furlong were absolutely brilliant. Major factors in Leinster smashing Wasps into submission.

Before you drag the thread off topic further, use the report function, and get a dose of reality. If I didn't find what you're trying to imply about me so dumb it would be hilarious.

Try_harder wrote: »

My point has been proven. If you said Wasp's played like mots/moths tonight that could mean to some that they played like women. Were you being sexist because you said that and denegrating both Wasps and women? I know you weren't, but if I was inclined, like you, to look to be offended, then I would jump all over you for making such a remark and make a song and dance about it.

And you just accused me of all sorts, why wouldn't I defend myself?

I thought the Leinster midfield were pretty decent, I'd give it to one of Henshaw or Ringrose.

Ruddock was a man playing with a vengeance. There's no way he can be left out of the squad at this stage.

Furlong, Ryan, Ruddock, Henshaw, Ringrose, Lowe

Not bad when over a third of your starting team play well enough to get MoTM.

prawnsambo

Love the attitude from Lowe. "We're not here to defend it, we're here to win it again".
