"Advantage"

Presume this'll be a yellow here.

Clegg

Is the TMO seriously looking at serious foul play for that tackle?

I've no memory of that.

To be fair January was 7 months agp

Squidgy Black

This'll be a yellow. Awec loves a card but it'll be warranted

crisco10

Is this Smith's debut?

I'm hoping that he got something from the side line

Clegg

Bent has come back on for an injury to Clarkson.

This game has been an utter disaster.

Second cap, started against Connacht

Clegg

By rights Bent should be getting a yellow too. Ref gave a warning about our offsides.

You were posting like mental in the match thread, thought you seemed pretty wasted tbh.

Say what?!?

Squidgy Black

Ospreys player wasn't on the ball, reached past it and waited for the hit. Thought they'd clamped down on that.

A-Train

Complete turnaround here

ongarite

Game on now.
Back row in disarray with injuries is killing Leinster like last week.

Squidgy Black

Shíte.

We're running on fumes here with a man down.

Clegg

Don't think the Osprey's 7 rolled away after making that tackle tbh.

irishbucsfan

Awec has really tuned on us here, Ospreys are getting everything

I have literally no idea who is even on the pitch, let alone what position anyone is playing.

Holy fook

A-Train

Complete disaster so bad from Harry Byrne

ongarite

Leinster down to 13 and then farce

Clegg

Lol

Disaster

crisco10

Will Leinster have a team to field next week?

Bazzo

Amateur hour from Byrne there

Former Former Former

Meh, doesn't matter.

That's dreadful from H Byrne though.

ha ha ha this is madness.

irishbucsfan

That is very poor.

Half backs showed their inexperience there

pappyodaniel

Lol

Squidgy Black

This is everything you wouldn't expect from a Leinster side. Everything just fallen apart.

Clegg

Have we just lost another player through injury there?

backcamslua

Great effort from the Ospreys!

A-Train

This is the type of game Harry Byrne needs exposure to, the only way he will learn.

Not great for Leinster but hopefully great for his learning curve

Squidgy Black

Harry's not doing well under the pressure

Buer

O'Sullivan's Leinster career died tonight.

Any counter ruck led to him struggling. Ospreys deserve the win over the 80 minutes. Really sloppy from Leinster at times although I'm not too concerned given the team that was on the field in the second half.

dregin

Fair play Ospreys.

Squidgy Black

It'll be considered a miracle we finished with 15 players on the pitch to be honest.

Is there a record for most players injured in a season?

Some come back

irishbucsfan

Going through phases in their own half with a narrow lead before the charge down was madness, really

Ball should have been sent to the edge of the Ospreys 22 while the kick chase was fresh

leakyboots

HB too good for this level

Mad match

Clegg

Leinster haven't been performing as cohesively in recent months which is entirely down to injuries and Ireland callups.

We'll need our test players back for next week's final otherwise it won't be competitive.

Did we?

A-Train

Shambles in the end. Fearful for next week now. What team can they put out???

Nope Frawley went off. Fúck sake.

armchaircoach

Looked like frawley went off with 8 seconds to go with a shoulder injury

Fair play Ospreys - looked done and dusted but took their breaks and deserved the win.

Few lessons on complacency for a few lads out there. Entertaining game at least!

I said it a few weeks ago half jokingly, but someone call Darragh Fanning and Mick McGrath and tell them to get their boots ready.

Leo Cullen probably has a fierce 20 minutes left in him

Clegg

Thought Osprey's were pretty crap for most of that second half and managed three trys in the final 10 minutes if the game. Utterly bizarre.

Frawley most likely won't be available for next week. Don't know what we can do for the final now. The Byrne's at 10 & 12 with Henshaw at 13?

this might be our best chance at a pleasant evening this weekend.

Here's hoping Frawley actually gets a decent bit of time this time out.

We lose and Frawley gets injured in the last minute.

Someone else should probably do the match thread for the next few games...
