Leinster Team Talk Thread (Love you Furlong time)

I doesn't say he's going to be 'Senior' coach. I wonder what the actual hierarchy will be.

Clegg

RTE interview with Will Connors. He's doing a PHD in data science when he's not training with Leinster.

Not enough that he's a world class athlete the talented dickhead.

Foxtrol

Surprised and my initial feeling was that I didn't this at all when the notification popped up on my phone but much happier having heard that interview from Leo.

If his remit is on defense and another experienced new voice in the room I think it can be very solid, especially alongside the news that they're keeping the rest of the coaching ticket together - low risk of this being a MOC situation, even if Nienaber doesn't work.

Complete trust that the Leinster leadership to get this right.

Replacing Lancaster like for like was never really going to happen. So a reshuffle slightly and a defence coach like Nienaber is a pretty amazing addition IMO.

Clegg

Jaysus Vakh

I didn't know he could do that

durthacht

Bloody hell.

Clegg

Also, that's a great pass from Prendergast to put Abdaladze through.

Ben Bailey

What a start !!

Too soon for a Prendergast v OGara debate?

Clegg

Yes.

But Prendergast > Crowley already.

Clegg

The Lions tight head is a real prop forward.

Clegg

Lions have kicked two restarts dead in a row, putting themselves under huge pressure.

Clegg

Unfortunate knock on from Barron. Need to be scoring those though.

Clegg

Leinster been pretty poor since scoring. Multiple handling errors and missed tackles.

A-Train

Leinster have fallen apart since scoring, terrible hands and defence

Larbre34

And Sean O'Brien's.

Clegg

Tommy O'Brien has been a demon in defence. Huge ruck clearance earlier in the game and now a breakdown turnover.

All_in_Flynn

Will Connors tackling is a thing of beauty.

Barron has made yet another mistake and this one was costly

AdamD

Nightmare few minutes for Barron

A-Train

Leinster at fault again for a Lions score. The Lions player did well to finish it.

Leinster need to get scores for the visits to the Lions 22.

A-Train

Much better by Leinster. Deegan unlucky off the base of the scrum being held up but good play and hands after the goal line drop out.

Clegg

Lots of errors from Leinster, but when they click they're carving through Lions. Excellent sequence of play starting from that strong Deegan carry off the base of the scrum.

Catch the restart then go through the phases by drawing and passing until a gap opens up.

A-Train

A lovely try from the Lions. Lovely hands.

Clegg

Very unusual for Leinster to miss this many tackles.

Seems like the players are gassed.

SaoPaulo41

Dreadful defence

A-Train

Leinster look spent before half time

SaoPaulo41

Did Barron go off injured or was he just hooked ? He had a poor game as is Nick McCarthy

Couldn't tackle a wet paper bag

AdamD

Thought that was blatantly forward
