most interesting match of the weekend, clearly.

CatFromHue · 03-10-2015 1:29pm

The new TG4 player is a big improvement on the old one.

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 1:31pm

miles better. actually enjoying it, decent work.

03-10-2015 1:32pm

Mike McCarthy just killed their 10

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 1:33pm

nice tackle mccarthy.

CatFromHue · 03-10-2015 1:40pm

Looks like Ruddock is playing 8 with Ryan and VdFlier on the flanks.

Was there a last min injury?

Conan got injured in the warm up

CatFromHue · 03-10-2015 1:44pm

Any idea who's on the bench instead of Ruddock?

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 1:44pm

great break by Marsh.

TheGoldenAges · 03-10-2015 1:46pm

Interesting Ferg and not Nacewa took over kicking duties for that penalty.

Beirne

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 1:52pm

fergus with the kick for 6:3

that high tackle which lead to the penalty looked quite dangerous though.

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 2:01pm

and dragons score a try. by more or less boshing their way through Leinsters 22.

aimee1 · 03-10-2015 2:01pm

cathal marsh has been good so far , a nice break earlier and a few decent kicks for territory

Tox56 · 03-10-2015 2:04pm

Ah jesus Ryan he really wasn't on the same wavelength as everyone else there

aimee1 · 03-10-2015 2:04pm

isa isa isa isa try

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 2:04pm

Nacewa and Ringrose combining is nice to watch.

03-10-2015 2:04pm

Great break JVDF, ends in a Nacewa try.

Dave_The_Sheep · 03-10-2015 2:09pm

The little few steps that boss takes sideways is annoying me. Pass the ball, or run. Don't do a little dance, then decide.

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 2:11pm

Moore is off already since 10 min or so? Hagan on?

03-10-2015 2:11pm

Is that Ruddock injured again??? Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

Tox56 · 03-10-2015 2:12pm

That was legitimately the worst box kick I've ever seen, from prime position in the 22 to defending in our own half

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 2:12pm

boss with a needless kick in the dragons 22... gives the ball away

VDF is MOTM so far

CatFromHue · 03-10-2015 2:13pm

Ruddock still on but Moore is off.

I thought Boss is doing well but that was a mad choice for a kick there.

aimee1 · 03-10-2015 2:14pm

isa try again

03-10-2015 2:15pm

2 assists for Reid now

Tox56 · 03-10-2015 2:15pm

Dragons defence isn't great but I'm loving our attack and ambition

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 2:15pm

ISAAAAAA!!!

irishbucsfan · 03-10-2015 2:16pm

This is the year of Reidy and the Vange.

Tox56 · 03-10-2015 2:17pm

Ah ffs Hagan

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 2:18pm

mcfadden looks like bruce willis in die hard

irishbucsfan · 03-10-2015 2:19pm

I don't understand the point of Jamie Hagan.

CatFromHue · 03-10-2015 2:22pm

That nearly came off there right at the end when Boss decided to run it on our 5m line!

mr. pleasant · 03-10-2015 2:38pm

Ringrose with huge break. caught a meter from the line.

Should have done better, I'm sure Isa will be having a word.

Tox56 · 03-10-2015 2:42pm

I for one would like to see more of the Ringrose-Nacewa alliance of awesome

Ectoplasm · 03-10-2015 2:44pm

Van Der Flier having another great game

irishbucsfan · 03-10-2015 2:45pm

Van der Flier for president!

Quint2010 · 03-10-2015 2:47pm

Have to say Dominic Ryan is having a very very poor game. He is just so pedestrian. Far too slow in everything he does.

Peregrine · 03-10-2015 2:48pm

Some nice offloads there.

Every time he carries the ball in the open field something bad happens.

Have to stop kicking it straight back to their backs

It works out well for us nearly every time.

However not as well as giving them lineouts in their half would work out, they're very shakey in the lineout. Either way it's very easy to get out of our half at the moment, Lyn Jones is a stickler for that area of the game as well so he'll be unhappy.

irishbucsfan · 03-10-2015 3:08pm

Try for the 2nd Coming.

A BP would be quite nice here.

CatFromHue · 03-10-2015 3:08pm

try of the century there!!

a tbp would be great here though

Tox56 · 03-10-2015 3:09pm

What a fcuking try jesus christ

total former · 03-10-2015 3:10pm

Leinstertainment!

Te'o did brilliantly

Tox56 · 03-10-2015 3:10pm

Also if that had been Ryan there instead of Leavy you have to think the move would probably have broken down, great hands

CatFromHue · 03-10-2015 3:10pm

now that was a good try!

A-Train · 03-10-2015 3:10pm

What a try get in!
