    Fantastic result, if more than a little frustrating for the majority of the second half. Really happy that they went looking for the TBP there at the end too. Good ambition and intent.

    I may not Leinster, but it seems that they do.

    Huge win overall. When johnny on form kicks just phenomenal. Reddan still has impact.

    Leinster number 11 seems handy. Plenty of speed and knows where the try line is. Didn't catch his name...

    Zebo, I think it was.

    Best thing to happen tonight was the performance of Sexton. Huge relief.

    Let's be having you 6 Nations

    Sexton is just so good. Not back to his best yet, but getting there. If he could just stop getting bangs to the head every game and giving us all palpitations...

    Thats an excellent win really. The performance wasnt exactly beautiful but every single year this game is horrendous and I definitely didnt see a relatively big win like that coming

    Very hard to win at Liberty stadium. Also I dislike Ospreys. So I am delighted with this win. And with Sexton's performance.

    McGrath could use a rest I think. He was pinged a good bit at scrum time and he was definitely not scrummaging straight most of the time.

    Dave has been really superb the last 2 weeks now. He looks so much more explosive than previously. I don't think he would have finished them two tries a year ago.

    Great place to get a win and as much as sextons improvement is good to see it is really pleasing to see ryan back to having an impact on games.

    Great to see Sexton smiling again too, both during the game and after it.

    given he has played a lot lately, a few weeks off was surely coming up anyway. Liked the bit in Leo's interview about how Leinster go fully loaded every week because he has faith in the squad.

    No 'r'.


    "Stinger" is a term for a type of golf shot that was popularized (both the term and the shot) by Tiger Woods - and by golf announcers talking about Tiger Woods playing the shot. A stinger is a shot in which the golfer sets up in a way to induce a lower trajectory and uses an abbreviated follow through. A stinger is essentially a punch shot, but one played with a long iron or fairway wood, or off the tee.

    The very aptly named confectionery bar. Stinger in name, Stinger by nature!

    Delighted with that performance. A long time since we went to Swansea and came out with such a result.

    Great control from the half backs, McGrath had a really solid game and Reddan continued his good run of form. Sexton didn't run much but his kicking was phenomenonal.

    We were dominant at the breakdown, I'm surprised they left Tipuric on the bench so long.

    But the key things were defence and execution; rock solid again. One try conceded in the last four league games, very few errors in pissing rain, tip of the hat to the coaching staff.

    And of course Dave Kearney tearing it up. Ireland thread could be interesting in the next while.

    Luke Fitz coming off holding his shoulder is never good though.
