Leinster V Glasgow 23rd Oct

sheep?

Anybody else watching this?

Currently 6-13. Glasgow took the foot off a little after their try. They've given away a lot of penalties in comparison to Leinster. But coming back now.

whatawaster

Leinster barely out of their own half

sheep?

In the Glasgow half now. A score would be nice.

sheep?

Yuck. Knock on.

Looks like a yellow Card for Glasgow, swinging arm on Dundon.

It's ss2 for me.

Some of the back play looks pretty good from Leinster. Marsh looks a lovely player. It's such a pity he will be 3rd choice from next week. He is 23 and needs regular game time

sheep?

A few half time positives:

Leinster (Aish team) are holding them to 7 just

They're getting a bit of milage on the wings. McFadden especially. Yet again, Ringrose is keeping himself busy. McGrath is kicking well. Marsh's passes could only be flatter if they were pancakes.

Against 14 men for the first ten of the second half.

leinster need to kick for territory a bit more to get out of their own half.

Tis grand working fine here

Some of the mistakes are infuriating. Nacewa, Ringrose and Reid all guilty. If we improve on that we can win the game. Agree with Horgan that we're not playing for territory enough as well.

only gripe really is a few passes at head height giving glasgow that extra second to push leinster backwards

Isaac Boss needs to take a back seat. Luke McGrath needs to be given proper gametime

Very true, and given the Glasgow line speed (Reeeeeeeally pushing that offside ) it's a second we can't afford.

That's marsh's biggest problem... He's not seeing the acres of space the Glasgow wings aren't covering

Journeyman_1

That was red for me, swinging arm to the head is not good

sheep?

BOOM

Good man Luke McGrath

makes a mockery of his lack of gametime last season

sheep?

Damn. Conan carrying well though.

Marcus Antonius

Thank f*ck Isa did just enough there

sheep?

Ah Jesus.

irishbucsfan

Bad missed tackle from Tracy there really but he's not an easy man to stop.

A-Train

Jesus he went through three people right of front of me in the Grandstand! Need a better hits in defence.

Marcus Antonius

F*ck sake you wouldn't think we were playing with the extra man there

sheep?

13-18 and sin bin is over.

No excuse for 2 missed tackles there. I know he's a big fecker but still

sheep?

Goregoes play leading up to that!

sheep?

Frustrating stuff from Leinster there. Felt the try was on.

Boss is on.

sheep?

Peno try and yellow card! woo!

errlloyd

Brilliant decision by Nacewa, well executed.

NU8

100% the right call there. We should be able to go on and win this now.

irishbucsfan

To be honest he should be banned for 12 weeks for denying McFadden crucial fantasy rugby points.

hogandrew

Have to say I think that should have been just a penalty and yellow

LuckyGent88

thought it was harsh on first viewing but correct decision.

aimee1

finally leinster see the benefit of turning glasgow

awec

What was the card for? Mostly bemusement here,couldn't see anything clearly.

Glasgow 14 slapped it back away from mcFadden.

CatFromHue

Not sure if it was certain if McFadden would have scored a try, looked like McFadden had missed the ball when the big man hit into touch.

Swatting it away like that in the in goal area is always a penalty try. Had he even made it look like he was trying to catch it he probably would've gotten away with it.

sydthebeat

Leinster hands have been great here tonight, scrum great too....line outs terrible

Marcus Antonius

Giving away to many silly penalties Thankfully he missed that one

Is it a different rule in goal to rest of pitch?
