Lol. Toland calling the lineout beautiful when it was a steal.

Beautiful because leinster lost it. He must have been bullied when he played there because he clearly despises leinster.

If you ignore last year's farce due to injuries, this had been a trap game fixture for Leinster. Connacht will have no fear of this.

Clegg

Very impressive from Connacht. Leinster have barely been in the opposition half, yet alone their 22.

Clegg

World class from Dev.

SqueakyKneecap

Carty class so far. Shame lineout broke down.

Utopia Parkway

All Connacht for the first 20 minutes but will need more scores you would think.

Paul Smeenus

Carty playing much better than last week.

Kraftwerk

He had to throw it forward into Tracey to milk that penalty

Bazzo

Jack Carty's in a mood to play

Connacht will not take the lead at any point in the entire match

Just going to highlight this incisive Leinster Rugby insight again.

SqueakyKneecap

It'll be gutting when we collapse but a fantastic showing. Young Masterson and Daly immense.

Carty in god mode so far

A-Train

Leinster are in big trouble here. A non-performance so far. Forwards have been terrible and Sexton is very rusty.

Utopia Parkway

This is like the game 2 years ago. All Connacht and then they got caught in the final 10 minutes.

clsmooth

Well deserved. Connacht have been excellent so far.

Or you could just stop trolling. Just a thought...

Clegg

Sexton gone already.

Disaster.

clsmooth

Carty limping after that kick?

Leinster a bit asleep at the wheel, lack of work rate in defence is leaving gaps in the park. Add to that Maloney's complete brain fart and Connacht have been handsomely rewarded for a fast high intensity start.

Clegg

YES PENNY

From bad to worse here.

Then Penny scores

SqueakyKneecap

That's criminal defending

5 points from kicks thrown away.

Get driven over and strolled through with their first meaningful attack.

Same story as last week coming I fear.

Just handed to him

Clegg

Leinster have no place kicker now.

crisco10

12-5 doesn't reflect this game at all. At all

Utopia Parkway

Try on basically Leinster’s first attack of the game.

Bazzo

Ah **** sake. About half the tries Connacht give up are so so soft

sydthebeat

No Sexton now... No real out half in the team

This game is now firmly in connacht hands.

Connacht caught listening to the tannoy...!

A-Train

How did McGrath miss that in front of the posts.

Kraftwerk

Nobody defending the fringes in this game apparently.

what happened? I missed it

HIA for Sexton.
Could be back

A-Train

Sexton is off for a HIA.

Great turnover by Leavy

Ah come on. That's shocking arrogance by anyone's yardstick. I was calling him on it, which he deserved.

That first time.

I will fully admit I wouldn't beat myself up about crossing the line to troling. But I'm done now.

Clegg

Jimmy O'Brien, our starting 13 and current stand in at 10, is injured.

Wonderful.

Nice bit of work by Leinster to keep Roux from getting up into the pillar.

Was just grabbing a cup of tea there, so starts now

SqueakyKneecap

Porchy with a monster bit of defending

Clegg

Seatbelt tackle by Porch missed by the referee.

freyners

Oliver having a fantastic game so far

Ha ha ha hah

Just let me know when you're ready to go.

crisco10

Leinster with no discernible shape in the backs. And connacht psyched in the forwards. Could be a tough night.

Former Former Former

Ugh. This is going really badly but having to listen to Toland creaming himself every time Connacht do something right is making it far worse.

launish116

God I hope Connacht don’t have a repeat of last week...after building this lead!
