Would consider taking Penny off for Conan and shifting Baird to the second row and Connors to the backrow.

Sweet jesus no.

One of the very few line breakers we have on the pitch

Clegg

In fairness that's wonderful from McGrath

SqueakyKneecap

Here we go ffs

Larbre34

Gerrin ya gem ya.

Utopia Parkway

Connacht have conceded 2 very soft tries. Not a hand laid on either try scorer.

Yup.

Soz.

A-Train

Better start from Leinster and good snip by McGrath.

freyners

Two......generous.... Calls by the ref there. Ball clearly went forward after initially back by mcgrath there

Bazzo

Couple silly freebie breakdown penalties after the ref has said to leave it

Dave_The_Sheep

Criminal ruck protection there. Not for the first time either.

Looked in at the side for me, but giving away a turnover with the entire pack there...

Burkie1203

thornbury in the gate lol ....

Morathi

Did I hear the commentary say JOB has plenty of experience around him? :pac:

And second man in as well, Tracey rucked the first guy off

Pis$es me off no end

Referee loves overplaying advantage

sydthebeat

Leinster with no goal kicker on the pitch, and toland wonders if we go for the posts....

A-Train

Such a bad line out when they are finally in a decent position

Cronin with a textbook throw

16 points down too.

He's gas

Bazzo

McGrath's passing is not great

Doesn't matter who is at hooker. Leinster have had massive issues with their lineout all season regardless of who is at 2.

Clegg

No matter which hooker we have on the pitch there's an overthrow or an interception. There's a massive systems problem somewhere.

realhorrorshow

We've lost the heads a bit but hanging in there so far. Leinster have realised their backs are a hindrance today and are keeping it tight.

Buer

ROL down in pain now. Can't see him playing on based on how he went down.

ROL hurt now too!

Clegg

ROL will probably be subbed off. Went down clutching his ribs as soon as he made the tackle

Utopia Parkway

Two poor kicks from Blade and now Carty. Keeping Leinster in good field position.

Everyone else realised that half way through the first half. Took us until half time.

Clegg

That's an excellently worked try.

Buer

And now we draw lots to see who takes the conversion.

Morathi

"Walking wounded everywhere"

"Brilliant though, huh?"

Toland is an absolute dose.

Utopia Parkway

Another poor try to concede.

A-Train

Good work in the maul, then Nugget and good finish by Baird

Give it Cronin

Squidgy Black

Conan off for a HIA? Have we emptied our bench already?

I noticed the same. Conan and ROL bleeding/injured: "But it's brilliant isn't it?"

ongarite

That's the Cronin from years ago.

Burkie1203

2018 revisited ......

I could tolerate this game if he wasnt on the mic.

Blood Sub for a facial injury.

Only listening on the radio but did Dave Kearney start in this game as I haven't heard his name mentioned?

Larbre34

P P P P Pressure....

Leinster gonna win this by 7 odd.

He did, but Leinster need to actively avoid attempting to get the ball wide.

Started, had the ball once

Utopia Parkway

Some questionable collisions in midfield there.

Clegg

Ah feck

Crossing

schmoo2k

Some try (if its allowed)

Brilliant from JOB and Hawkshaw.

Lets see what happens in lead up though.

A-Train

A great try but it won’t be allowed.
