No soubt Leinster are good, but we are definitely ensuring they look good.
Im starting to see this game as a warm up to the Premiership semi!

Kick chase works against so-so back 3. Not so great against an International class back 3. We are still evolving.
I'm not cynical just experienced

If we can defend them then give them the ball. As we cannot we need to stop doing it. Stats need to be used conditional on how the opposition play. Going to be a long hard fight. Ford and Ashton looking outclassed currently.

Yes,but we are playing for pride now. The game was over in the first 20.

this is a game for JvP but Wigglesworth is on the bench so its a case of if plan A fails revert to plan A

well our half backs have the experience to know its not working so we need to change if they won't then they should both be hauled off at half timeRugbygramps wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 6:11 pmDifficult when it’s one of the major parts of your game plan

You do know that in order to speed up the 12 really needs to be just as experienced or as good right?Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 6:14 pmwell our half backs have the experience to know its not working so we need to change if they won't then they should both be hauled off at half timeRugbygramps wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 6:11 pmDifficult when it’s one of the major parts of your game plan
No point in the half backs going for it but the 12 isn't joining right?
It's why Kelly is so good his passing is brilliant at speeding up the game

This is a joke.. late hit on Ford, nothing given, assistant tells the ref it’s a Tigers penalty at the scrum, he ignores him, player slides into touch when the clock is clearly NOT in the red, ref blows for HT.. we have been outplayed by the better side but give us a fair level playing field to play on! What a joke

Would have been nice if we had been allowed the attacking lineout that we should have been allowed to play were it not for the ref!

Odd decisions from the officials again, the clock wasn’t in the red, sometimes makes you think this isn’t quiet right!!

The clock was clearly not in the red, that’s just poor…
