    About time the referee has called an offside, the line has been getting more and more offside for the last 10 mins

    How are Castres players, and O'Driscoll, unaware of that law?

    Furlong had been going well. Off now. Injured?

    McGrath shouldn't be brought back on.

    Leinster should be further ahead than this

    Completely needless pressure on us here - stupid penalty on our own possession in midfield, then a yellow card and sin bin off the resulting penalty/lineout-maul. Daftness.

    Under very little pressure but we've let Castres back in the game.

    Luke McGrath has really struggled. Definitely worth looking to JGP in the second half.

    Overall a good performance though. A bonus point win should be the minimum target from here.

    This is where Leinster will miss Madigan and his ability to play 9.

    Surprising that O'Driscoll said "I've never seen that before". I'm pretty sure it happened for Toulon during a Leinster match in the 2014 HC. QF, I think.

    Luke McGrath has been lightning at the breakdown but his box kicking has been brutal.

    Rob Kearney has completely lost any attacking threat with ball in hand, he consistently slows down before contact does'nt use his feet and gets dumped on his ass every single time, thank god he can catch a high ball though....

    He's been shocking today, over ran for the ringrose break, and very sloppy passing and a few sloppy box kicks. Conditions aren't helping but sometimes players just have them days

    Well now that you mention it, Joey Carbery played 9 at underage level. Pretty sure he played 9 for the u18s.

    Excellent, we can start both him and Sexton in Chicago :)

    Decent enough half from Leinster, but a poor way to finish the first 40. Told ya not starting the 2 Kiwi halves was a selection mistake :D

    Carbery looks composed, you'd almost swear he grew up playing rugby in NZ...

    Castres are just a bit shìt to be honest, Leinster should take this out easily enough if they stick to their guns and don't gift points to the opposition.

    There's no need to panic, we are still well on top. Just that last passage left it a lot closer than it should have been.

    Just in case there's any confusion, my Madigan at 9 post was a joke...

    Castres' biggest source of territory has been Leinster errors. Just have to tighten up.

    Bit mad how McGrath got a yellow considering Castres were constantly infringing in our 22.

    McGrath has been woeful. Over the last year, he has really improved but is just having one of those days. His passing from the base has regressed significantly today. Hopefully, he'll be back to himself next week but JGP should be launched onto the pitch immediately.

    Carberry has made some significant contributions. His handling is exceptional, even more impressive considering McGrath's inability to pass.

    Henshaw is my Man of the first half. Thrown himself into everything. Great tackling, lovely hands, high work ethic. His partnership with Carberry inside and Ringrose (who has also played very well) outside is great to watch.

    Furlong took the Castres loosehead to he cleaners. He popped up in every scrum and somehow only got penalised once. Anyone know why he went off?

    Promising performance so far, minus some lapses in defense. A try in the next 10 mins should kill the game

    Man there's nothin Van der Flier can't do. Smiling away at some lad who has him by the throat. You can't coach that.

    Isa playing 9. He's like a Swiss army knife.
