Leinster Team Talk Thread (Love you Furlong time)

Burkie1203

Why is that not a penalty

Clegg

The pre-match analysis on RTE highlighted the good form of TOB in the opening fixtures. I hope he can keep it up and also have an injury free run. He's a potential Champions Cup starter when fully fit.

Clegg

Right on cue.

Tommy that's spectacular

pickarooney

How many times are we going to let Edinburgh just walk through the middle and take the ball?

Clegg

Ben Healy is having a bit of a mare this half.

Podge_irl

You’d be raging at this if you were an Edinburgh fan. 7-3 down after dominating possession and then mess up the restart.

Exclamation Marc

Jack Boyle reminds me of Jack McGrath at times, albeit not as bulky (yet).

Clegg

Didn't lead to a try, but that was an excellently worked set piece move from Leinster.

Clegg

Another good set piece love leads to an Edinburgh yellow.

Clegg

Tbf to Harry Byrne he has been on it this afternoon.

Edinburgh have consistently infringed near their line this evening and should have been carded again.

Exclamation Marc

Beautiful pass from Harry for that try.

Neil3030

Edinburgh gifting this to Leinster with their discipline.

Who's the 8 for Leinster? Is that Culhane? Having a good game.

Burkie1203

Embrace should have had another man binned just before HT

Byrne looking good out there, lovely pass to hit Frawley for that last try. Culhane looking up for it as well. Foley crisp enough from the base of the ruck and TOB the other standout from the backs.

What's that, two charge downs, one missed penalty touch and a restart on the full from Healy? He's been solid from the tee (admittedly small sample size), so maybe it's just the effect of the wind, but it's hardly inspiring confidence so far.

Clegg

A missed touch and two kicks out in the full. Healy is really struggling with Edinburgh.

Dave_The_Sheep

Just do something there Foley, anything. Don't just stand there looking around the place.

Clegg

That's excellent from Ngatai and Barron.

Great try for TOB.

Clegg

That's poor though.

Bad cover defence after a big kick from Osborne.

Clegg

Oh Jordan.

Zero pressure to catch that. Could've even let that bounce.

razorblunt

Bit of an overzealous celebration from Laing.

Big Duhan doing a big vanishing act ... again.

Those tries at Twickenham papered over the ever widening cracks

Yes that's Culhane at 8. Very impressive.

Clegg

Ben Healy needs to be subbed off.

Missed touch twice from penalties and kicked out on the full twice as well. Been terrible.

ulsteru20s

Healy has had a terrible day. Edinburgh in general have been terrible.

TOB looks excellent.

I don’t know exactly what the ref is seeing in these scrums but i think a different one would have given Edinburgh way more. Boyle hits the ground first most of the time, elbow down. Usually that’s a prime indicator that you will get pinged.

Dave_The_Sheep

Two butchered opportunities of a try there for Ediburgh. They may yet score, but that's criminal.

Larmour's handling has been poor today.

Dave_The_Sheep

Letting Edinburgh get anything out of this game - let alone losing it which isn't beyond the realms of possibility - would be very irritating.

blackdog1

Prendergast would want to learn to tackle.

RichieRich_89

Who got homme du match? Probably Barron or Culhane, was it?

Osborne.

letowski

Got to love the way TOB throws himself in the tackle and puts himself about, to go along with his pace and other attributes. Will be in the mix for the matchday 23 for the big games imo.

pickarooney

Osborne POTM

Thought Shiel could have got it myself
