    Well that was pretty intense.

    Wow.

    Nice line out. Surprised Cardiff didn't even contest it.

    What a finish. Pretty bad Leinster couldn't close it out from those series of rucks.

    WOOOOOOO

    Nerves shot.

    One or two mistakes but great composure across the squad. Terrific defence especially the last 3 minutes not to give a penalty and blocking the DG.

    Conan MOTM - well deserved.

    That was brainless of Reddan to kick that away .

    Well I'd rather not lose Conan to Ulster.

    Top of the league lads.

    I'd say we were more unlucky. Better team, better defence, luck had nothing to do with it.

    Good to get the win. Now let's never speak of this game again.

    So much for it being a disadvantage playing into the wind! What an escape, but we'll take the four points.

    Great defence but we really should have put points on the board in the first half.

    Lineout a shambles even given the conditions.

    Ruddock is down for 29 tackles made and one missed.

    He's some man for the work in tight is Rhys.

    It's impressive, but bear in mind the conditions - Cardiff carried close in over and over from their own line rather than kick into that gale. With all that up-the-jumper stuff there's going be a huge number of tackles made.

    It's a pity VDF wasn't playing, he probably would've hit 40!

    Regardless, 29 is a massive number. To put the body through that and not skip any tackles is incredible. At the end of the game he was still actively driving players back. That's a serious engine.

    There's a reason he's considered one of the fittest players in the Leinster setup (not just forwards).
