    Will take a lead after a half playing into that wind all day long, Glasgow are a really excellent team. Hopefully the wind keeps up and we can turn the screw, but that won't be easy

    Hurt himself during the play where Kearney held the ball up. Looked like his hamstring

    I've gone past the point of caring about being condescending on the issue.

    It's been repeatedly explained to people since about 2009 and I'm tired of it really. It's fairly basic stuff. He's been one of Leinster and Ireland's best players consistently the past 4 years.

    I dunno, I think there are Heaslip 'extremists' on both sides (i.e. those who think he's useless, and those who think he can do no wrong) and I find those who argue these sides and those who micro-analyse every move he makes to argue their perspective pretty irritating.

    I, for one, don't fall on either of these sides, and have generally felt that he has been a consistently solid player with a great work rate at club and international level. But like any other player, his impact on the game varies on different days, and I think his impact has generally been greater since the Six Nations.

    Leinster blessed to be in front IMO.

    Glasgow have been physically superior and got hammered by the referee. Some bizarre decisions.

    Matawalu had his hands up and was retreating and Boss fired the ball at him. Nothing in the rules to say he has to run as fast as he can back. Could have been a penalty the other way.

    The penalty in the first 5 minutes, where BOD lay on the man after making a tackle was also bizarre.

    Its a real flair vs physicality game.

    Leinster look seriously dangerous in the loose, especially the backrow.

    Locky and Heaslip have been immense in the open field.

    Kearney has been brilliant in defence.

    Good match to watch. Better then last nights one, which was so one sided from the off.

    Late tackle there on Isa, could have been a very sore one.

    We really need to tack a few scores on soon.

    Sexton strangely far back tonight for some reason.

    It looked to me that the Glasgow loosehead never took the hit in the first place.

    Frustrating half, Cronin lineout, Ross scrum pen and D'Arcy knockon. Glasgow will get chances, we can't afford to be so wasteful

    And yet again...

    The scrums are a mess, the ref is really poor in that area
