Cardiff v Leinster Match thread

calico77

Coverage just started and its raining heavily in cardiff.

errlloyd

Looks ****ing awful

vienne86

Woeful conditions.

calico77

wat was that from reddan

Did Reddan even look at what was outside him there?

And Fitzgibbon, eugh. Predicting the penalty count will be heavily against Leinster.

A-Train

Looked strong in the first scrum of the game

calico77

long discussion over what to do about that penalty

A-Train

Great scrum again, penalty off it

vienne86

Great scrum......that'll yield rewards right through the match.

calico77

Healy in beast mode

Those wondering why Cian Healy is so valued...

A-Train

Nice kick from Madigan 3-3 7 mins gone

A-Train

What a kick by Reddan wind assisted!

vienne86

Fab kick from Reddan. What a wind. Just shows we need to score heavily in this half.

A-Train

Another scrum another penalty Leinster, scrum down again

vienne86

And yet another penalty. Excellent. Scrum again.

errlloyd

Happy days. We have to make sure the ball doesn't blow to the Cardiff side in the scrum

vienne86

Careless to lose that......shouldn't have twisted like that.

calico77

awful decision/ cardiff LH had his arse pointing at the touchline

Neil3030

Holy crap, the wind swerving that dart.

Neil3030

Madigan firing passes at McFadden's arse. He is unreal.

vienne86

Jack Conan keeping busy - great to have him back.

Clegg

FFS Ferg.

A-Train

Ah crap hard luck McFadden after a good kick by Madigan

Ach ball like soap.

Really poor from McFadden.

Dave_The_Sheep

McFadden could be on a red here.

[edit] On replay, nah. Looks worse in real time.

Clegg

McFadden is a plank.

vienne86

Shocking missed tackles there.

And that looks bad from McFadden.

Neil3030

Uh-oh... Ferg....

A-Train

Ah McFadden could be in serious trouble here! Silly once again by him

JPNelsforearm

What a hit by Mcfadden

Hagz

Are you serious???!!!

calico77

nothing in that at all he went to tackle him

JPNelsforearm

Nothing in that

That's totally fine.

errlloyd

That's a very harsh penalty. It's not high and he tries to wrap.

corny

Referee had his mind made up before he actually saw it. Was never high.

Neil3030

Actually looked worse in real-time.

JPCN1

Never a card.

JPNelsforearm

Disgrace

A-Train

Actually on 2nd viewing he is hard done by there, looked like a good hit tried to wrap the arms! 50/50 at most.

Leinster should never have allowed them get up there

Zzippy

McFadden must be responsible for a fair portion of Leinster's disciplinary record this season.

ktulu123

Nothing in that FFS. Can see Ferg try to wrap the arms, Fitzgibbon......

Hagz

It wasn't high and he attempted to wrap the arms. That is embarrassing officiating.

vienne86

Very poor to let Cardiff make that break.

Poor decision from Ref. The player fell away from him, nothing in it.

calico77

be interesting to see the full incident after the tackle, looked like a cardiff player had his hand in the face of one of the leinster forwards

Clegg

Nightmare five minutes for McFadden.

Richard Hillman

Bad news. We are going to have to put up a lead of about 20 points before Cardiff get the wind in the second half.

blackcard

Not even a penalty
