Come on right back in it now after a terrible opening 15 mins

Kelleher is playing well

mailforkev

Cracking kick there. Confidence levels raised.

kmart6

Hogg has got caught out at least three times now, Lowe's first break, his try and now Larmour's.

Clegg

That's Kelleher's second steal of the game.

Having a stormer.

You could apply that comment to this whole thread.

Great work from Kelleher.

Kelleher immense against Munster and again so far today.

steves2

Kelleher is just really excellent and he's still only like 22?

Not an uncommon feature of his play.

baas baa

Kellehers physicality has been very noticeable. If/when he sorts out his throwing he'll be a hell of a player.

Zero TMO checks for Exe tries but both Leinsters were checked...:rolleyes:

Larbre34

Class is permanent.

Kelleher having some game, has gone up another level latter part of this season.

Well, it's not as if either of the Exeter finishes were in doubt. The second one had a turnover and possible forward pass missed but it was a bit back.

Did you actually see their tries?

Have him as a lock for the Lions test team

KH25

And now VDF. Great work at the breakdown.

Reynal didn't check the first try, gave it straight away. He didn't see the second grounded, asked the assistant who also didn't see it. So it was checked.

Faugheen

Another breakdown steal from VDF.

How people still think he's not the best 7 in Ireland is beyond me. He's added so much to his game since the World Cup.

Clegg

Brilliant from Josh. Leinster are starting to turn the screw at the breakdown.

We've changed up from our usual style of play. Competing at the breakdown far more than we normally do.

Yes, including the forward pass that was ignored

what happened Sexton?

A-Train

Great from VDF

Went off for a HIA.

Lord very groggy walking off.

Henshaw's hands all over the deck there but I won't complain.

He didn't play it attempt to play the ball. No penalty, clever play.

Kelliher is having a great game.


This is a proper game.

He played and got hurt

ref is very quick to call the turn over which is actually great to see. there shouldn't be anything about surviving a clear out or anything of the sort

AbusesToilets

No way was he even on the ball there

The inconsistency is MADDENING. Exact same turnover from Ruddock in the first half right before Exeter second try and no whistle.

I was just willing the replays to stop. In case reynal looked at the TV at some point

KH25

It would be great if Raynal would call the crooked line outs.

Clegg

Warburton's right.

VDF has been the best player on the pitch.

By the sounds of it you'd have the entire Leinster XV be the Lions test team...

lawrencesummers

This is a half of two halves.

degsie

Too many Exe infringements, ref needs to take control

kmart6

VdF on fire.

Wildly inconsistent, like he calls a penalty against Cowan dickie there, for the exact action he awarded a penalty to him earlier. Mental

KH25

Surely that was a high hit?

Clegg

Was that an arm to Byrne's head in the tackle?

degsie

High tackle ignored

RugbyLover123

Slade’s tackle looked high in that play too

crisco10

It's a swinging arm

AbusesToilets

Two high tackles in a row there

That’s the one I expected to see looked at.
