Leinster v Toulouse

[Ruckedtobits]

Even with the team I was pretty confident Leinster would do a number on their pack and win this game. Still more nervous about the next game because it's on the road, even if Wasps are nowhere near Toulouse's level. Had Luke anytime try scorer. He gets one ruled out. That's how it always goes.

Sat in the North stand. Right at the back.. From there, Ringrose was absolutely outstanding. The best player by a mile. The front row and Ruddock also stood out. Adam Byrne beats a defender every single time. Didn't think Ross Byrne was that good. Started well, looked like he was making a statement. Think the high tackle affected him. Was a speed bump in one attack and seemed to panic in possession with space in front of him. Love seeing Larmour pick out forwards to take on but sometimes he throws a speculative pass. Take the tackle.

Andrew Porter was a demon when he came on. Every time he tackled, the Toulouse runner went backwards. Superb cameo.

+1. Spot on summary.

intersting comments from Leo

"“But off the back of where we were, a lot of guys maybe weren’t so sure about Toulouse, and how good they would be.

We’ve been nervous for a while, since literally that Toulouse game, in many ways, because of the threat of Bath, coming back off the November Tests, getting guys up to speed, and then getting through the inter-pros.”

Won't it be available on Channel 4 catch-up or is there a problem viewing this in Ireland?

Not available to ROI viewers on Channel 4 player. Don't bother. The sound quality is sh#te. Sounds like Harrison and Jamie are broadcasting from a portaloo at the back of the South Stand.

Sound was missing at the start but I click on about an hour and sound was there so it might just be at the start.
Haven't watched it through yet.

The sound is there later on. Luke's injury is at 1.12.00 at the back of the maul, Mauvaka lunges across the back and trap's Luke's knee.

Came here to post the same thing. He loses his bind, comes round the back, flops onto McGrath from behind and levers him back to pull him out of the maul whilst trapping his feet.

There was an issue with the sound when it was being streamed live on RugbyPass, was fixed partway through.
