He didn't play badly, but just doesn't utilise his size like you'd want him to. He tends to slowly jog about rather than smashing into people IMO. If he got up to a sprint he'd take some stopping.

Notwithstanding some of expressed views, I consider that a very competent Leinster performance in the conditions and with the makeshift selection we fielded. Ross found the outside well, despite a rushing defence. Russell, and the O'Briens played smartly in attack. Osborne & N'gatai were solid ...

Looking for a ticket for QF2 if anyone ends up with a single spare

Did anyone see what happened to bealham?

I note some quiet confidence on the Tigers forum, good to see.

Yeah they seem to really back their pack against ours. I think that is some wishful thinking, but it's knockout rugby so maybe I'll end up eating humble pie

Was at the game, echo previous comments about how welcoming the home support was.

Question for some of the stat gurus, is this the longest we have gone unbeaten in a single season?

Agreed

Ross Byrne taking the ball very very static

After the Munster game at the weekend I can see Kendellan bolting for this tour. He’s versatile, a leader, a brilliant player in every respect, and I think he’s got that sheer bloody mindedness that will make it impossible not to select him regardless of his age. Personally I think he’ll make the W...

Very little debate / discussion re Ireland Squad for weekend, but lots more contention in Wales. The suggestion is they'll go largely with status quo, because of injury profile and we could see something like this: https://ranked-list-images.files.bbci.co.uk/Wales-SixNations-2022-Ireland-XV-71f58d6...

What happened to Larmour?

McGraths picking up the ball and taking an age to pass it is killing us here. Defensive line had an age to come up and get porter there.

I agree with this, they did not look impressive today.

Scrum also been poor imo. Line out very good in contrast though.

Discipline and defence fairly disappointing so far. Some good scores but against a very poor Bath team

Also thought Baird mixed in some mistakes, although was a good performance by the end.

Harry Byrne also growing into it

Jesus VDF was immense all over for that try

I thought Harry was pretty good. He took the ball to the line at times but I thought that was actually helpful given how often Argentina shut us down out the back.

Did you see what the injury was?
