How was that not an early push by Bath?

AbusesToilets

Early push there surely?

AbusesToilets

Lovely crooked feed to follow it up :pac:

irishbucsfan

VDF saved a try there

EDIT: Not for long

Larbre34

Our starting XV deserved a much longer shift.

errlloyd

It feels like every maul bath have got, and Saracens got feel like they result in a penalty.

Clegg

In slightly dodgy territory now.

thats all come from a wrong call at a scrum

fitz

Brilliant team response.

errlloyd

Great plant. Delighted.

aimee1

Larbre34

Ruthless. Love it.

Greyian

Seeing receivers coming onto the ball at pace is so refreshing.

And some clever lines picked, cutting back against the grain

Swan Curry

There's little if nothing in that but it's still unbelievably stupid for Te'o to do. That would have been a card if Joseph was willing to do a little play acting

errlloyd

That is one of the reasons I won't really miss Te'o as much as some, he could have walked.

Larbre34

Looked very bad, he made all the shapes for lift and drive. Another ref and he'd be gone

AdamD

Wasn't even a pen, landed on his hip.

Zzippy

That was a certain yellow card, got away with that one!

Agreed. Daft thing to do.

I'm going to give gauzere a plus. He's reffed a very enjoyable game to watch could have a yellow each way for goal line cynical play but otherwise fine I reckon.

fitz

Jebus, Ringrose is incredible.

errlloyd

Gary Ringrose.

He's really let the game flow by ignoring a lot of smaller things, especially at the breakdown.

Suits us absolutely down to the ground, a lot less suitable for Bath though

Score?

Suits me fine as the viewer. As long as he's fair both ways!

Yeah, you can lift a guy above the horizontal and drop him, but as long as he's lucky enough to land safely there's nothing to see here... :rolleyes:

Clegg

Reddan with two wrong decisions in that sequence of play.

He never went above horizontal

Swan Curry

Madigan wasn't happy with Reddan going himself there, you'd think Madigan of all people would appreciate someone having a go by themselves

fixed

Buer

If that was a maul, Bath clearly lifted the player.

BBDBB

For a dead rubber of a game this has been a fantastic performance by Leinster

errlloyd

We haven't scored many. But the line breaks, have been heartening.

Whether he did or didn't it doesn't matter if you drop him

Is that a penalty?

Clegg

Ross Molony MotM on his European starting debut.

Brilliant.

Yes, if it's a maul when you do it

errlloyd

Tracy for me!

aimee1

Molony MOM. Well deserved

captbarnacles

Poor Bath. Don't think they expected to run into this performance.

Larbre34

All ill say is, George Who?

BBDBB

Enjoyed that, lots to be optimistic about from the Leinster performance.

errlloyd

I'm very happy.

Diabhal Beag

Leinster enjoy lukewarm Bath.
