Southern Kings v Leinster Rugby | Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium KO: 13:15 TG4

Clegg

Someone needs to tell the TG4 commentator that Cian Healy isn't playing. This is basic stuff ffs.

Bad pass by Carvery...good finish by Reid

Icemancometh

Good finish. Terrible pass from Carberry to Byrne so glad to score there

That was very easy. Leinster look stronger in contact.

Ah now the tg4 player not working is fairly poor...!

Aertv not working for me either. Very frustrating.

Reid has beefed up

If the camera stayed still for 30 seconds you could probably count the number of people in the main camera facing stand!

Good finish from Reid. Carbery should have delayed his pass a fraction but not the end of the world.

Dave is having a shocker already.

"I hadn't finished saying it"

Is that really the rule?

DK doesn't seem to be at the races at all today

Davey K looks fierce rusty. Luke McGrath showing a lot of class if you watch him closely. Works very hard off the ball, very mature player already.

Icemancometh

Is this at altitude? Ball seems to be flying a mile. Agree DK looks off the pace

Clegg

Ruaidhri O'Connor says there's about 500 people in the stadium.

Quin_Dub

That crowd is dreadful..a few hundred facing the camera and by the looks of the few shots of the benches not much more on the near side either..

What kind of crowds were the kings getting in Super Rugby??

Clegg

Adam Byrne's ability to beat the first man is very impressive.

I don't think so, its the Cheetahs at altitude isn't it?

Edit: Yes, it is.

Could just be a small pitch?

MJohnston

Anybody have a screenshot of the crowdsize? Apparently TG4 have decided that I'm not in Dublin, and are only showing me some rally footage instead.

Yeah just checked and you're right. Just big kicks I suppose

Clegg

That passage of play showed up Kearney. He looks so, so slow.

Based on what I can see, I'd say that 1500 would be a generous figure for attendance.

Clegg

Oof that's not good from Jordi either.

If memory serves Zebre have the record lowest turnout in recent years, something like 1400, open to be corrected.

That'd be extremely generous tbh from what I've seen.

Their attendances for SR weren't anywhere close to this bad, have the locals just zero interest in the pro12?

McGrath smashing tackle

Pro14! You haven't been paying attention to the marketing

molloyjh

We're very disjointed. Unsurprising really, but it's not exactly making this a good game.

I'm in Dublin and I'm getting that too.

Are they allowed to obstruct from an offside position because of the money they're giving us or something?

Quin_Dub

Good lord, this is a terrible game so far..
