Match Thread: Treviso vs Leinster

molloyjh

No match thread? Well we need to win this one and we should. Treviso make life difficult for visitors but the TBP should be the goal for the lads.

A lot of talk here on Sky about us being 7th. Eh lads, we're 7th because we haven't played yet this weekend.....

I really wish Teo wasn't injured

No pictures from Italy at the moment. Are we going to get to see this game at all I wonder?

awec

Fitzgerald is out. Macken in.

Gidea

Annnnd Fitz is out before the game even starts

This makes me sad. Very sad.

molloyjh

Game has kicked off and no sign of pictures on Sky.

LEIN

This is unbelievably poor from Sky.... ffs...

Try Treviso

Luke is injured, the coverage hasn't started, and we are losing. This may be the worst match ever.

Wait, Twitter says we scored.

molloyjh

Eh no it was Fanning that scored the try.

molloyjh

Conversion missed. 0-5 to Leinster.

awec

Oops. Try Leinster, not Treviso. My bad. Fanning

Tox56

What a joke

molloyjh

Reid nearly sets up Dave Kearney there apparently. Sounds like we're starting well anyway. Typical that we don't get to see it.

molloyjh

Horray! We have a feed.

Clegg

Sadly I'm finished with Fitz. Can't be getting my hopes up for him anymore.

MattD

Jaysus, good thing I'm in work and couldn't watch it either way, I'd be raging right now

Hagz

Haha. Kearney jnr shaking off the rust.

molloyjh

Ah jaysus Dave. Two woeful bits from him there. Awful pass and truly embarrassing kick.

molloyjh

Defense appalling there. Appalling. 5-5.

Tox56

That's some of the worst defence I've seen from Leinster, there was numbers the whole time but no communication whatsoever

molloyjh

And get the conversion. 7-5.

Swan Curry

Fanning and Kirchner tickle his ribs as Pratichetti walks through

Hagz

Fanning bites in and leaves a hole. He is human after all.

Similar in the middle of the park though too. It was bad the whole way across.

Big Leo auvaa

molloyjh

Lost our own line out and Treviso looking the better side at the moment.

corny

Anyone any news on Fitzgerald. Break down in the warm up? Withdrawn as a precaution?

corny

Tacklers never released:mad:

Tox56

That was poor from Denton, has to be clearing those rucks

molloyjh

We are not looking good here at all. Turned over a few times now.

Pulled up in warm up

molloyjh

Treviso have just the 1 match point for a reason, they are missing 5 to Italy, 1 to suspension and another has gone off injured already. There is no reason for us not to be winning this. Especially with the team we're fielding. This is infuriating.

What the f*** were we doing at the scrum? Why wasn't Luke getting it out when we obviously were going nowhere?

Pudsy33

Justice for Luke McGrath eh?

Tox56

What the hell was that, we're giving a sucker an even break here

If the 9 was able to pick it up it looked more like conan's responsibility, the scrum was solid

Heroditas

That really was moronic there

Swan Curry

How in the name of God was Treviso's 9 onside there?

They have looked the better side from what I've seen so far.

.ak

This is ****e. Luke is finished I feel. May well get a game here or there but no coach will rely on him now.

molloyjh

Well worked try there. Good hand off from Conan. That's more like it lads.

Pudsy33

Absolutely super try all around there.

errlloyd

Great run of play

Swan Curry

It shouldn't take 30 minutes to do that against Treviso.Great try though, delighted Kearney has one.

molloyjh

Poor kick from Gopperth. 0 from 2 now.

molloyjh

Apparently tacklers don't have to release.

Hagz

Bit of calm lads. We scored a try after 3 mins and should have scored another by the sounds of it. And then we just waltzed in. Some new guys shaking off the rust and some unexpected pre match changes settling in. Everything is going to be all right.

Tox56

Ref copped out of that, Treviso LH was scrummaging towards the touchline

molloyjh

Where was the knock on there?

molloyjh

Good break and some nice work. Pity about that last offload. Conan going well in the loose.
