Raining quite heavily in terenure the last 40 minutes. Any word on Ballsbridge? Might not be a day for throwing the ball around.

There are scattered showers predicted for the afternoon so it's going to be on and off all for the game.

Kind of looks like it's brightening up now. Hopefully the rain holds off.

Would have thought we were better off in slippery conditions. Our pack definitely has the better of wasps.

Leinster are doomed.
Completely Outgunned in first names ending in y, ie and i.
15. Kurtley Beale; 12. Jimmy Gopperth, 11. Willie Le Roux; 10. Danny Cipriani, 2. Tommy Taylor, 16. Ashley Johnson, 18. Marty Moore, 22. Alapati Leiua,
V's
15. Joey Carbery, 13. Garry Ringrose, 12. Robbie Henshaw, 10. Johnny Sexton
Of all the games Jamie Heaslip to be injured for. & Jordi Murphy is damn well irreplaceable today.

Leinster need Seán "Seanie" O’Brien to get close to those NZ performances in 2012 & 2016 to stop Dai's goys

Thanks, the Bath game was on and was bit confused, cheers

I really wish I was more confident about this but I have a bad feeling about this game.

If we do win I'll be happy with the campaign, a semi final is good going for a team with the age profile of Leinsters.

My TV is broken. Does anyone have the number of a good repairman?

digzy

Whatever happened Marty Moore. He was heir apparent to Mike Ross now he's on the bench for wasps and nowhere near the Ireland squad

stephen_n

Is Sexton out, Ross Byrne was out and not as the 24th man and no sign of Sexton??

Ignore that

April fool?

Stupid from Henshaw

irishman86

Not relevant at the game, but Leinster really have a gorgeous jersey

Well Cooper-Wooley isn't a bad prop himself, he has played plenty for Wasps this season though
Playing outside Ireland pretty much rules you out of Irish squads unless you're invaluable - with Furlong, Ryan and Bealham it means Moore is not

Buer

If that ball came back, it was a simple Wasps try on the blindside. They had 3 men unmarked.

Need to eradicate those sloppy errors.

Diabhal Beag

Furlong has the slowest sidestep on Earth and yet he done Cipriani no bother.

Buer

Two crucial tackles in two minutes from Triggs.

Surely a yellow for clinical play
Some break by Henshaw, good link with Ringrose

irishman86

Should have gone to the bin there

mfceiling

Try?

irishman86

Nacewa must be nearly 40 by now or did he retire early

Kiwi_knock

Lovely pass by Carbery, the advantages of having a second playmaker further out wide.

Squidgy Black

Superb pass from Carbery

irishbucsfan

Floodgates are open now, hope Leinster go easy on them for the sake of the comeptition

CurryFlavoured

They look a bit rattled.

Squidgy Black

Cipriani losing his cool and panicking already...

BBDBB

Great play by Leinster
Ideally I'd like them to be playing further into wasps half but it's a good start

Can't make it at work but hopefully I'll be able to follow it from you guys. Seems things are going Leinster's way or is this a windup for April fools :P

CurryFlavoured

Does Carbery play 15 regularly? Like what I'm seeing from him there.

stunmer

Any know of more repairmen numbers? My tv seems to be broken also

irishman86

SOB unleashing speed I havent seen from him in a few years

CurryFlavoured

Vintage O'Brien there.

Swan Curry

****ing hell sexton

CurryFlavoured

Our kicking has been horrific.

BBDBB

Leinster decided that treating it like a 7's game is the way forward
Brilliant to watch

mfceiling

McFadden on..game over wasps.

irishman86

I really dont get the love of Hughes, there was talk he would be in a combined NZ/England team

Kiwi_knock

A try from nothing

Diabhal Beag

HE'S ****ING BOTTLED IT!!!!!!!!!!

BBDBB

That's a fantastic try from wasps

BBDBB

hes dropped it!

LuckyGent88

OMG hahahahahahahaha

Peregrine

Bahahahaha

Kiwi_knock

What a shocker, a lesson to not show off

Disaster. Really disappointing try to give away.

CurryFlavoured

Ripped to pieces.
