Leinster v Northampton 19/12 1PM

[FLIP]

Think things will be a lot easier in the second half, Saints clearly had the wind at their back.

Surprised that the ref didn't go penalty try for the offside and held up on Porter at the end. If the player wasn't offside it's doubtful he would have held up Porter.

When we next lose a game, it'll be because a team keeps turning us and kicks to the corners. Our lineout is a massive vunerability

Yeah, doesn’t look like we have huge confidence in the line out right now. I think we’ve gone to the front in all but one where we went to the middle on Northampton’s line.

Having said that, we’ve won all of our ball and one of theirs, so maybe keeping it simple for now is the best thing to build some confidence.

Oh wow. Absolutely chronic from Ross Byrne. Luckily we got over from reliable Dave.

'Absolutely chronic'?

He made a searing break and held onto the ball.

Should've given it but spotted Ringer had a man on his back basically.

Ah I was just frustrated definitely harsh in the moment.

Fair enough!

Think the loss of JOB his had a big impact on our speed of line pass in the back line. It’s no coincidence that the moment he went off our back line potency changed. Says so much about how good he has been for us at 15

100%. Keenan is brilliant, but a different threat from 15 and not as much of a playmaker.

JOB becoming an important cog in our attack.

I’m more concerned about the ads for erectile dysfunction on BT...hope they’ve got the wrong target market.

I think it must be the biggest priority within Leinster at the moment our serious weekends at the line out. I’m saying that I don’t think refs do teams any favours either in how the ref that area

Haha.

They can now actually target TV ads based on your browsing history and other data, so I'd be worried.

[cormac]

Hero to villain inside 60 seconds

[wixfjord]

So f%~kin sloppy JGP.

Points difference will be important. We need to pull away here.

[wixfjord]

Right, enough of this sh!t.

Ball up jumper and pressure their back three time.

Get Luke on too please.

[Theleinsterlad]

At this stage I’ll just be happy with the win

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Didn’t like that from the winger, no attempt to bind.

[Dave Cahill]

so very sloppy

[Theleinsterlad]

That’s fing stupid by kelleher

That was a blatant penalty and the ref was right in front of it

[Theleinsterlad]

The ref is very poor also

[wixfjord]

What are we at?! Everything is so frantic and unnecessarily rushed. We've a 10 point lead and a huge wind. Just use it.

Trying to push everything and we're bringing them into the game.

This is an example of when our lack of faith in scrum and lineout becomes a huge issue. Should be tightening up here.
