That's bloody huge.

Need to get good distance from the pen and keep some possessio.

Joe mcarthy the young man one of the few men in this leinster pack physically matching and standing up to the Bulls

Dave_The_Sheep · 10-06-2022 8:39pm

Yeah, that defense there really physically got a kicking from the physicality of this physical Bulls pack.

... Oh wait.

SaoPaulo41 · 10-06-2022 8:39pm

Take points

Dave_The_Sheep · 10-06-2022 8:41pm

More physical dominance there by the Bulls lock on Furlong. Great work from him.

Thought Doris was lucky not to get pinged for not rolling away for the turnover on the line there but it was huge defense from Leinster.

Could be a big turning point if they can score here.

Clegg · 10-06-2022 8:41pm

Bulls getting away with murder at the ruck.

Then again, Leinster does too so oh well.

LRind2008 · 10-06-2022 8:42pm

Gibson Park is having an absolute shocker

SaoPaulo41 · 10-06-2022 8:42pm

Crazy not taking kick when behind

Yep, McCarthy and (surprise, surprise) Van Der Flier fronting up big time. Furlong as well has come out like a bull in this half too.

Clegg · 10-06-2022 8:43pm

Leinster struggling with securing clean ball from the lineout.

Seems like Bulls have a man competing on every throw.

Yep ball isn't clean at all, RB should of gone for posts with pen

Clegg · 10-06-2022 8:45pm

Much better start to the second half from Leinster. Bulls still shading it physically, but it's closer now.

Really need to start racking up points however. Territory and possession dominance doesn't count for much when you're not scoring.

SaoPaulo41 · 10-06-2022 8:45pm

Has James Ryan been mentioned?

SaoPaulo41 · 10-06-2022 8:47pm

Would get Frawley and Sexton on back line is rudderless

Madeoface · 10-06-2022 8:48pm

Great scrap this evening. Its great for the competition. Leinster need to beat these saffers though looking towards the wc.

Not sure ref is up to this level, equally bad for both tho.

pickarooney · 10-06-2022 8:48pm

Porter crumbling again. Easy target for any decent scrum these days.

This just isn't true. Anytime the centres have got the ball they've been making stuff happen.

Problem at the moment is at 10.

Ben Bailey · 10-06-2022 8:48pm

Porter pinged for hingeing despite his oppo ha ing his knee down first

Would it be very unpopular to say Conan hasn't had a great season? Last year was excellent and he started well this year, bitbthe second half has been only OK. Deegan might fancy his chances next year.

I think Furlong looks shattered. Like, end of the season, needs a month off with a holiday and a proper break, shattered. I know they need him in New Zealand but i think it would be better for him over the next season to have a proper break.
