Leinster vs Edinburgh , Fri 31 Oct 7:35 pm TG4

Pudsy33

It's Te'o time

Irlandczyk

Three quality performances? Talk about how Ben Teo is a big guy and will hopefully get us over the gain line is very telling as to what is in MOC's head as to how he expects us to play.

BBDBB

watching on Alba, glad that Nigel is reffing, he has a nice loud clear voice so I can hear whats going on above the commentary

Pudsy33

One nice clear out from the big man so far

Sanjuro

Good stuff. Early blood.

Christ. Conversion was absolutely nowhere near the posts.

BBDBB

Leinster playing with some ambition

try time

Red button gets English commentary if that's what you mean.

Tox56

It's going to take me a long time to not be a solidly terrified everytime Fitz takes contact

shuffol

Did he lose control of that?

Irlandczyk

Be pretty hard to be a Leinster fan otherwise, no? I'm not allowed balk at the way we're playing?

jamesbondings

Anatidaephobia

McGrath's passing is actually atrocious. Good play by Leinster though.

Sanjuro

Conan in.

Tox56

Started and finished by Conan, grest to see him make a statement

Ryan got the first, conan the second

errlloyd

First thing Teo did well was an epic cleanout, and in the build up there he had one really nice presentation after being tackled. I think this boy can play Union.

Owens
"When you finish are you going to referee? Your doing a good job already"

BBDBB

Simple stuff, draw the players in, spread it wide, mix it up a bit and then exploit the gaps.

Edinburgh, whilst committed to defence and looking fairly headless at the moment

errlloyd

Do I hear the crowd shouting "Tee-oh, tee-oh, tee-oh" did we just buy him for seamless chanting?

Sangre

Alba really talking up gopperth; clearly not boards posters.

Irlandczyk

Te'o off already Didn't see what it was. Holding his hand anyway

whatawaster

Injured already!

Taco Corp

ffs

Clegg

Broken arm/wrist in his first game?

Jaysus

former legend

Grand solid 18 minutes from Te'o there.

The injury situation is ridiculous.

BBDBB

great shame for the lad

Where are you getting that from?

That's exactly what Tuohy and Best looked like when they broke their arms, how many other injuries could that even be when you think about it? Hopefully it's not bad but I'm not optimistic

That was pretty awful from Bent

I was asking a question.

Penalty wasn't against Bent.

Fractured distal radius. 6 weeks.

sydthebeat

Thought he was holding his wrist initially but in the close up it looked more like a thumb injury, possible dislocation

Hopefully! !!

It was, it was against him for running round and he could hardly have been more blatant about it

Irlandczyk

Discipline really isn't great so far...

Owens called out the back 5, no?

It wasn't. It was against Douglas for running around

Tox56

I thought he said far side but that would make sense. Even so looking from our angle Bent was clearly part of it

Nope.

Tox56

That first drop was the worst thing that could have happened to Crosbie, he looks terrified of making a mistake

Sangre

Crosbie off to a poor start, couple of errors. Hope he settles. Cohesion has gone a bit now.

mr. pleasant

since the 2nd try it's all edinburgh.

3 penalties for them, but missed 2. leinster busy defending and driven backwards.

shuffol

You have to admire the job Bent does in the scrum but in defence you lose a lot with him on the field.

Irlandczyk

Douglas as well? This is getting ridiculous...

Heroditas

Poor miss there and another player off. Gotta be concussion. At least they'll have next week off.

Buer

Douglas gone. Looks concussed.

This team on the field is about an A team now. Need few players to step up.

mr. pleasant

next one out injured is douglas...

errlloyd

Well, injuries to Douglas and Teo, this match might end up being expensive.

shuffol

Would it have been wiser to bring on McGrath and move Fitz into the center. Crosbie looks so uncomfortable at 13.

Douglas just looked like a bang to the head so hopefully nothing too bad.
