    He's one of the few trying to make something happen at the maul.

    By taking the easy option and walking around the side twice?

    The maul shifted around him. He was fighting through the middle and the opposition pack moved the point of attack. Good work from Wasps. Far from "disinterested" from Toner.

    At no stage was he through the middle.

    He didn't get through the middle. He was positioned there and trying to get through and had managed to get hands on the carrier when the maul shifted. That's his normal approach.

    He was excellent in the last maul too when we walked them back 20 yards.

    Fitzgerald is incredible at beating the first tackler and finding space where there looks like there is none at all.

    The absolute power of Dave Kearney to have 4 - 5 players pushing him into touch and yet still holds them up long enough for Reddan to show up and pick the ball of the deck.

    Great play yet again from Kearney Jnr.

    I can see Sexton having to give up the game at a relatively young age.

    You said he was fighting through the middle. He wasn't. He started on the outside and stayed there to work his way around to the carrier. Blatant penalty.

    Still so sick of having to listen to BT commentary, I don't even care if they're going to cater for a British audience but at least give us an Irish option instead

    Toner in particular has been brutal in this regard.

    Christ. He was. He started in the middle and was fighting to get through there and got his hands on the carrier over the top of the maul. He should have stopped when the maul moved around under his grasp and he came around the side.

    I'm not bothered. You said he was disinterested. He's clearly not.

    They are terrible, really don't like when any of the Leinster games are being shown by them.

    Ok i'll leave it at he didn't start through the middle and the lack of discipline is an indication of his mindset...as in not entirely switched on.

    Oh and if you're not bothered (you seem to be) don't reply and leave it there.

    Leinster are only trying to spoil the party and are scoring "sneaky" tries.

    Leinster are here to win the bloody game, no party or sneakiness involved.

    BOD and Dallaglio, seems pretty fair to me.
