Not on BT sport - do they have a policy of not criticising the officials under any circumstance?

Oh come on... if it weren't for Ford's excellent pass, we would not have scored our first try. He does not have the form he had before Christmas but he is still a class act.
you know as much as I do that Freddie Burns is equally capable of a pass like that, in fact he's more likely to throw it

I felt today would be difficult but I would have loved to see that game on a fair playing field, oh for the days of Nigel Owens

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ref turn down penalty calls from his TJ before and was it like 3 times just in this one game?!

Wow... Austin speaking sense for a change. I also think it was about belief in the first half.

its a shame it looks 20 minutes to wake up and match Leinsters intensity. once we did a much more even game. A wake up call for the level we need to perform at.

Normally I might applaud this (especially with certqin TMOs), but sir today was just blind and arrogant.

Yes game was over in 20. You can’t give Leinster a 17 point head start!

We did not believe in ourselves in the first half and therefore were making too many mistakes.
