RDP12 Final - Leinster v Ospreys 27/05/12 - KO 4pm - RTE/TG4/S4C

Adam Jones brought it down there. He's trying to get one of the Leinster lads binned.

Fishooks12 · 27-05-2012 4:52pm

Poite is ruining the game

decisions · 27-05-2012 4:52pm

Yes!!!!!

Greenspark · 27-05-2012 4:52pm

Unexpected! I did not see that coming!

Tox56 · 27-05-2012 4:53pm

That was incredible by Poite

Jess16 · 27-05-2012 4:53pm

Relief

mr. pleasant · 27-05-2012 4:53pm

wtf?? random stuff.

Burgo · 27-05-2012 4:53pm

can someone explain that to me? I don't understand what happened.

Fishooks12 · 27-05-2012 4:53pm

If Ospreys had gotten that shove on it would have been a penalty try

decisions · 27-05-2012 4:54pm

Punch up down the tunnel?

Seph503 · 27-05-2012 4:54pm

Bring back the fold in

El Inho · 27-05-2012 4:54pm

feckin RTÉ cutting away from the best stuff!

RuggieBear · 27-05-2012 4:54pm

lol poite hasn't a clue.

be nice if jones would bind...he has managed to get vdm sinbinned.

Coriolanus · 27-05-2012 4:54pm

Bizarre 5 minutes

Not the first time that's happened...

Burgo · 27-05-2012 4:54pm

looks like some of the ospreys players getting a bit feisty going into the tunnel!

Looked like some kind of handbags anyway

CIARAN_BOYLE · 27-05-2012 4:54pm

A good few of the penalties there were 50/50s imo

Jones was scrummaging head to head and VDM and McGrath were given out to and penalties were awarded againg both Leinster LHs while JJones was just as much to blame.

Glad we got away at the end

No forward momentum to warrant the penalty try I think and then Jones went to ground -open to correction on this

thomond2006 · 27-05-2012 4:55pm

s4c down...

Tox56 · 27-05-2012 4:55pm

Ospreys do love a bit of handbags

WTF? There were punches clearly being thrown just there!

Hardly handbags

Hermy · 27-05-2012 4:55pm

Can I ask does the sin bin clock keep counting after the match clock goes past 40mins?

Fishooks12 · 27-05-2012 4:55pm

delighted for Jones

Loves the sledging so he does. Nice to get a taste of his own medicine

Ref decided the Ospreys tight head went straight to ground, same offence VDM got carded for.

It does, only 5 min left on it

BarackPyjama · 27-05-2012 4:56pm

Looked like a fairly aggressive punch up in the tunnel. You can blame the frustration on Poite. What an appalling display of refereeing at scrum time.

eyeball kid · 27-05-2012 4:56pm

What a mess there. Leinster lucky to get away with it but Poite seemed as responsible for that as anyone.

profitius · 27-05-2012 4:56pm

The exact same thing happened Munster against the Ospreys. Only difference was Munster were well on top. The Ospreys are bringing it down intentionally.

Something happened going down the tunnel but RTE were too concerned about the ads.

coonecb1 · 27-05-2012 4:56pm

Shame on RTE for cutting away from the "shimozzle" in the tunnel.

Just like a good old GAA championship match

Shelflife · 27-05-2012 4:57pm

Joke from RTE, it kicks off going down the tunnell and they focus on healy messing with his mate, missed opportunity there

Dangerous Man · 27-05-2012 4:58pm

Absolute nonsense. Someone needs to get the sock puppets out and explain what a scrum is to Poitre.

Fishooks12 · 27-05-2012 4:59pm

Conor O Shea is dying I'd say!

Jess16 · 27-05-2012 5:01pm

Conor O'Shea looks like he just fell out of Coppers about 5 minutes ago -dude looks hockeyed!:)

Shelflife · 27-05-2012 5:01pm

Made no sense whatsoever for ospreys to drop that scrum, a lot of refs try to cop out of situations like this.

They didnt show the last scrum from the offending side so its hard to make a call on it.

He actually sounds reasonably fresh. Reckon he took it easy on the hooch last night. Wonder will he be out with the Leinster boys tonight? Very uncharacteristic for a Limerick man.

yimrsg · 27-05-2012 5:02pm

How the touch judge didn't see or mention to Poite that Jones is binding on VDM and McGraths arm and going head to head all the time is frustrating as fcuk. That last passage of play just shows how poor some of the referees are at certain areas of refereeing.

Reddan and Cronin excluded of course.

RuggieBear · 27-05-2012 5:04pm

could get nasty in the 2nd half...ospreys with loads of cheap shots already

Not really. It wasn't the first scrum they dropped in that period. They were depending on Poite to blame Leinster for every scrum after the first one. Seeing as that's what he normally does. i.e. he doesn't have a clue. Sure he wasn't even paying attention to his official on the blind side.

El Inho · 27-05-2012 5:05pm

to be fair it was slightly handbaggy...think we, me included, thought it was more craic than schlaps.

They dropped it a few times, Jones was fishing for a yellow hoping that Poite would award another yellow. Poite blamed Leinster a few times when Jones dropped it.

RuggieBear · 27-05-2012 5:08pm

27-05-2012 5:08pm

pretty quality start to the half from Ospreys.

We're asleep though.

Jess16 · 27-05-2012 5:08pm

Game on apparently

decisions · 27-05-2012 5:08pm

Annoyed we started like this.

El Inho · 27-05-2012 5:08pm

its game on now ger

A-Train · 27-05-2012 5:09pm

Hairsprays try, not a great way to start the 2nd half!

RuggieBear · 27-05-2012 5:09pm

beck has been very good

Cpt_Blackbeard · 27-05-2012 5:09pm

Fofanna could learn a thing or two from that grounding.

The try should make the second half a little more interesting. Leinster will still come away with the win though.
