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

Shehal

Great kick by Cosgrave there, pity he didnt kick it a second or two earlier as Leinster would get a 50/22.

durthacht

Cosgrave beaten in defence again...

JRant

That throw went straight down the white line. Gonna be a long day with this lad.

Interested Observer

Jesus christ the number of penalties and frees against is getting ridiculous.

Shehal

Wow Leinster get a crucial penalty against the head at scrum time. I almost wonder did the ref give it out of pity as he's given Leinster F-All so far.

"Ardense" in.

No match choice on PS through NowTV anyway, although I don't think there ever was in the past

Radio 1 and newstalk have carried Leinster games in the past but I'm good at the Irish so it doesn't bother me

Shehal

Bulls score again.

Its been about as 1 sided a match as you can imagine so far, you simply cant withstand this level of intensity for this long and survive.

durthacht

They deserved that, in fairness. It's going to be a long afternoon as the pack looks a lot weaker this week.

JRant

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Ruddock and Jenkins were important bulk last week. Both are gone this week.

Shehal

Lol and now Leinster concede an incredibly sloppy penalty to put even more pressure on themselves if they werent under enough already.

This game was already close to mission impossible without the need for Leinster to continue to shoot themselves in the foot!

All_in_Flynn

This will be ugly by the end unless they tire.

Will never get tired of watching Connors tackle.

KH25

That’s absolutely shambolic from McCarthy. How he started today is beyond me.

hold my beer

Such a shite pass from McCarthy

Shehal

And ofcourse it isnt an SA win without their traditional interception.... And Bulls score.

What's the point in having players like this for their "experience" when all they are is a complete liability.

AbusesToilets

Lovely weighted kick through for the try. McCarthy.....

hold my beer

Scrum absolutely minced. This is going to be quite the hiding unless we magic up a performance out of nowhere.

KH25

Forward pass right in front of the ref ignored? Giving us so little.

letsbefair

Men against boys. Great experience for our lads. Ref is never good to us.

Akrasia

Connacht are now down to 7th, if Sharks win against Munster they could be down to 8th (and I think Munster could well lose).

Glasgow game this evening could be massive

Don't think it's ever a great experience to be going in at half time 31 nill with a load of rookie and uncapped players on the bench

JRant

31-0 and it doesn't feel like a hammering (in the true sense). This game is just a series of continuous penalties and free kicks against Leinster. There's bugger all rugby being played.

JRant

2 forward passes in that passage of play

Shehal

My expectation today was rock bottom but honestly this is just as bad as I felt it would be.

degsie

How many forward passes are allowed per game?

KH25

It would be great if Evans would ping the bulls a few times.

durthacht

TOB off at half time. I hope he's not injured again.

degsie

Ref is playing a stormer, couldn't wait to dish out that yellow :(
