Fabulous score. Love to see a team attacking width early like that.

MUST BE AT RED

Botia pushes Connors into him

AdamD · 10-12-2023 4:37pm

I can't believe what I'm seeing

This is it · 10-12-2023 4:38pm

Ref has no control over this match

yosser hughes · 10-12-2023 4:42pm

The ref needs to get a grip here. The la Rochelle crowd are ridiculous as well.

clsmooth · 10-12-2023 4:42pm

Reckon there will be a red or two in this.

Shehal · 10-12-2023 4:42pm

Does it not rain in Ireland, How are Leinster so bad under the high ball today? That will be a costly drop ball from JGP I fear.

No doubt in my mind

Burkie1203 · 10-12-2023 4:45pm

LAR hooker about 1m infield there

Clegg · 10-12-2023 4:46pm

McCarthy's yellow was nonsense, but he'll need to be careful that he doesn't infringe near the line and get a second card.

Shehal · 10-12-2023 4:46pm

And now all this pressure because JGP couldn't catch a simple catch under 0 pressure.

Genuinely what is the purpose of Alaatoa as a signing?

Burkie1203 · 10-12-2023 4:47pm

Blatant neck roll there

Shehal · 10-12-2023 4:50pm

Leinster keeping La Rochelle out there could be crucial in how this game pans out.

Clegg · 10-12-2023 4:51pm

Super kick from Harry Byrne.

Neil3030 · 10-12-2023 4:52pm

On this weekend's showing, just put these two teams in the final now. No other teams were even close to this level.

Clegg · 10-12-2023 4:56pm

I want to see that clear out by Skelton again. Looked like he shouldered a Leinster player in the head.

Burkie1203 · 10-12-2023 4:57pm

That needs to be reviewed

Neil3030 · 10-12-2023 4:57pm

I can see Leinster going to the attacking box kick more in the second half.

Burkie1203 · 10-12-2023 4:57pm

Jesus that's some cut

Clegg · 10-12-2023 5:00pm

Commentators are right that Leinster have gotten sucked into a kicking battle and are coming off second best.

Bleating Lamb · 10-12-2023 5:02pm

JGP’s handling poor in first half.Fabulous grubber kick by Ringrose.

Clegg · 10-12-2023 5:02pm

Excellent kick from Ringrose.

pickarooney · 10-12-2023 5:03pm

Losing scrums, collisions and kicking. Same old, same old against LR.

theVersatile · 10-12-2023 5:06pm

40 important minutes for Ciaran Frawley potentially

Clegg · 10-12-2023 5:07pm

Leinster were excellent that half. Stood up to La Rochelle's physicality and have gritted their way to a 4 point lead.

Defence in particular has been very impressive. Making big hits and flooding the breakdown.

Neil3030 · 10-12-2023 5:08pm

Those final few minutes set the template for how Leinster can win this. La Rochelle are lining up very compacted around the rucks in midfield, you're just not going to break through that. Box kick, pressure, win back the ball nearer the 22, draw the penalty. LaR play so much on the edge, that it will come eventually. It won't be pretty but away days in the Heino are all about the W.
