Honestly feel free to disagree but a big reason why none of the prem clubs will beat Leinster and why Leinster will always struggle against a La Rochelle is because it will always have french refs

Yeah, stuck in our own 22 instead of scrum on the half way

Leinster get away with so much.
Yes we haven’t been clinical but it’s the best our attack has looked. If we chipped away at the scoreboard it could be 22:19 now…
Let’s hope we can make things stick a bit more in the second half. Not out of this yet! COYT!

Seems ridiculous we didn’t take the 3 now. Terrible decision.
Pollard looks at 80% of his best version, really not sure what’s wrong with him recently.
Put the next 7 pts on the board in the 2nd and we’re in the game. Need the ref to start being a little more fair tho

We have played really well tbf but stupid penalties and poor defence and it’s game over.

It’s a shame. Leinster deserve the lead. They look very very good but the officiating has been a pretty poor and when the breakdown is such a mess, forward passes aren’t called, they keep infringing on the gap at the lineout but no aren’t getting pinged, scrum penalties are being given as free kicks, they continue to go off feet, seal off and not release and are getting away with it it makes it a very tough ask..RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:43 pm Honestly feel free to disagree but a big reason why none of the prem clubs will beat Leinster and why Leinster will always struggle against a La Rochelle is because it will always have french refs
A few errors have proved costly but the attack looks great, scrum looks solid, lineout going well and I have to say the lads have hung in well there.. score next second half and it’s all to play for

Leinster are going to score prob 2 tries next half, one minimum.
The 3 points wouldn't change anything, A try and we might have given Leinster a little scare.
We aren't winning this game. So might as well practice attack

Well the practise is a good watch. Less wayward box kicking, keeping the ball in hand, getting it wide, mixing it up.. looks a country mile better than the last 3 weeksRagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:47 pmNahnicmattyg wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:46 pm Seems ridiculous we didn’t take the 3 now.

What’s the matter with Pollard?! Change of coach rattled him perhaps?

Doyle’s opening line at HT

Don’t you just love the impartiality..!!

Well, I think that’s the best Leicester have played this season. Loving the attacking intent. Best I’ve see Cronin play - clearly he’s in Munster mode!
Though tbf Gibson-Park is a wonderful player.
Question, Leinster seem to have an exemption from forward pass and sealing off laws. How does everyone else get one?

It’s a free hit effectively - a competitive match free hit. This is pleasing to see as you say. Get Shillcock and OHC the ball and they make metres. Let’s see more!OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 8:49 pmWell the practise is a good watch.
