Right. So we've just heard that Ospreys have won their last TEN games in a row at home. This is going to be a tough one for Leinster.

Terrible start

irishbucsfan

Massive gap in defense to start the match...

vienne86

Woeful defence there from Leinster ....that was nearly a breakaway try.

ssaye2

Scared to watch

ssaye2

That scared them into action attacking linout in their 22

Edit overthrown

vienne86

Line out cocked up in a great position - that's inexcusable.

The Moccy Horror Leinster Show.

Still. Things could be worse. We could have paid money to go there to watch them.

Great scrum
Ah ffs

vienne86

That was a great drive from the scrum....but wasted. This is scary.

When will the TG4 commentator realise that Jack Conan is not on the pitch. He rolled his ankle in the warm up and Domnick Ryan is in instead with Ruddock playing 8.

Teo gains ten meters with a run. ..

The ball gets passed back to a static player and he's hit ten meters behind the gain line. ... good work fgone

So frustrating

Scrum great

Who's on the bench instead of Ryan?

Another penalty 35 m out straight for Jimmy

6 nil 22 mins

vienne86

Another nice kick by Jimmy......good man....just what we need in a scrappy game like this.

ssaye2

Good pressure by us

ssaye2

Shocker by Zane slow kick out lost yards

vienne86

Ah Zane....stop ponsing around....look what happens....sliced out on the full.

Jesus this is lathargic play.

ssaye2

Slice kicking everywhere amateur hour

vienne86

McFadden lucky enough to escape without a card there.

ssaye2

Great defensive maul

Leinster playing the better brand of "**** Rugby"

Our forwards much stonger and much better organised than Sprays.

ssaye2

No communication between backs sloppy

ktulu123

yup

vienne86

Nice bit of a run there from Kirchner....bit of ambition.

ssaye2

Big defense needed again
Matavasi making ground

this is a great game

vienne86

Ospresy backs not used to playing together? That's a couple of dreadful passes straight in to touch.

ktulu123

It's nice to see another team play as bad as Leinster have the last 2 games :P

ssaye2

Huge scrum

vienne86

Thank you Lacey for eventually giving us a penalty from the scrum....Leinster scrum looking very good tonight.

ktulu123

No matter what we have said about Leinsters performances over the last few months, our scrum is awesome!

ssaye2

Ooh we are trying to play

ktulu123

One or two nice midfield moves there. Undone by a silly mistake again

vienne86

That was a lot of huffing a puffing, but at least we got into the 22.
