Leinster Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread XII (The Byrne Supremacy)

A-Train

Terrible start, no defence at all. A long day ahead

Edit or not, lucky enough with that call.

Let off.

Burkie1203

That's obstruction

rodge123

I’m not sure the South African Tmo brought that to refs attention or was even going to, I think ref may Have seen replay in stadium and asked for review!

Frawley with some great touches so far.

That's very quick to give a turnover.

Clegg

Last two Stormers lineouts have been incredibly crooked. Surprised the referee hasn't spotted that

Played the ball on the ground there too.

Clegg

Liking the little dinks we're making over the Stormers defence. They haven't always come off, but we're showing a side of our game I haven't seen much of before.

Clegg

Ruddock is having a brilliant game.

Clegg

Foley needed to be much quicker in getting that kick off. Bit of sympathy for him though as there was no piller at the ruck.

Must love hardship

Some amount of penalties

Clegg

That's a brilliant line kick from Frawley.

Thrashssacre

Soroka looks very comfortable out there which is nice too see, seems to have Excellent strength in contact.

Clegg

Two 5m attacking lineouts blown from Leinster. Very encouraged by how this side has played so far, but we need to be making more of these opportunities.

Clegg

Thought the TMO might have asked the ref to look at the Russell tackle on Senatla. Looked high.

pickarooney

How were Leinster offside on a Stormers lineout?

Clegg

Soroka with two lineout steals this half. Another young player who's really taking his chance.

Dubinusa

Soroka is one that could go very far!

murtyd17

Nice kick through there

Clegg

Liking Leinsters kicking strategy here. Making infield kicks behind the defence for Stormers to track back into the 22. They haven't dealt well with them so far.

pickarooney

Poor oul Clarkson is getting a lesson in scrummaging here from one of the best in the business.

Clegg

Clarkson is getting a bit of a roasting from Kitshoff at the scrum. Not a massive surprise really. He's a world cup winning loosehead.

boetstark

Not good so far. Stormers playing worst rugby of this year. A little sick rising in my mouth listening to commentary.

Thrashssacre

So kicking the ball out on the full is advantage over but going through 15 phases through the forwards isn't, the law really need to be revised in that area it's infuriating.

Clegg

I'll absolutely take a lead at half time. Our defence and discipline in open play has been excellent.

Stormers have gone for the lineout maul rather than the 3 point pens and haven't been successful. Think they'll have to rejig their strategy for the second half. Build a lead first and then go for the kill. Expect a massive push from them in the second half.

letsbefair

If they don’t get a try bonus win we are no1 in the table. So far so good. Boys doing Leinster proud

A-Train

Happy with that first half performance. Good showing in defence as the half went on, need a bit more precision when getting into their 22, 2 blown lineouts that they should have done better on.

Clegg

Needless yellow to give away. They were in a referees warning as well. Leinster have been very poor in that aspect of the game in the last two weeks.

pickarooney

Stormers have a massive advantage up front, tries should start raining now
