‪Leinster Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread IX: The Last Jordi [****]

Clegg

Only one team showed up tonight. Don't care if there's a 6N hangover or a big game next week. This is simply unacceptable.

Buer

This game should mean little enough in the bigger picture for us after events in Munster.

But I'd say Connacht fans are watching in horror.

Surely a forward pass there..

That's the game. A performance to get out of our system. Down to business next week.

This team are an embarrassment tonight.

Imagine watching this every week and you will know how Ulster fans feel

Burkie1203

So this is what it must feel like supporting Ulster

Lads, being on the pints days ago are not related to this performance. It's a lack of intensity due to playing away in a game that is relatively unimportant in comparison to the games coming up on the calendar. This happens semi-regularly, I wish it was directly related to grand slam victories.

More than one in the lead up i thought.

Good finish by ROL

Leinster are not playing rugby very well

Clegg

That's a lovely finish from RoL.

Mark my words, Leinster will win this game.

Noel Reid's face looked messed up in that shot of the subs. Much like Al Pacino in The Godfather.

Whoever said it was a broken cheekbone is probably right.

vienne86

OK now we know. Ireland guys were on the piss this week. New front row....scrum wins......try!

We all need to relax.

We can lose by fifty points and will still be top of the table. None of this matters.

If Fardy and Luke McGrath get through the match, I'll be happy.

And the corollary to that theorem is that lads trying not to get injured will inevitably get injured.

Buer

Quality finish from ROL. The forward subs certainly seem hungrier than their more illustrious counterparts.

Wonder why Carbery took that conversion. Byrne doesn't look injured.

Burkie1203

Love the way Lacey just ignores AWJ

durthacht

Very strange pass from Carbery. Big loopy feckin thing above JGP giving the defence time to cover across.

Larbre34

John Lacey of Bucharest.

Welsh commentators are mad. Byrne fairly competing for the call there

He's going to be wearing 22 next week, not Byrne. So probably good to start giving him some kicks.

corny

Anyone catch what that penalty was for?

Think Daly with the shoulder but not sure.

Buer

Daly took a knock there too. FFS.

Surprised we went for the posts a few minutes ago. All the momentum and have looked on top in the forwards for the first time since our replacement front row came on.

If that was the case then surely they would have started him at 10 tonight and started him on goal kicks.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Byrne at 22 and Carbery at 23 next week if Carbery can cover centre and full back, especially as Nacewa hardly ever plays anymore. We still don't know if Leinster coaches consider Carbery or Byrne to be back up to Sexton.

I hope so. Byrne hasn't really impressed the last three months.
