    What did he do?
    Ball was on half way ready for Saracens to take the drop off and sexton kicked it away walking back to his own half.
    Was a stupid thing to do.

    Need more power from back row.
    Toner off, Fardy to 2nd row with Ruddock on at 6 in 2nd half.

    It was 100% a penalty. Stupid from Sexton

    Lucky to get away with not conceding before half time. Need a massive improvement in the second half.

    Leinster haven’t been appalling.

    They’ve just come up against a pack that can out-bosh them.

    Lads, Garces isn't the problem here. Try a new tune.

    Only in the door for the Bosch penalty.

    Felt the penalty against McFadden was very harsh.

    So it's ok to swim over a maul, and a shoulder to the head doesn't warrant even a yellow? He's made more than a couple of iffy calls.

    Having said that, our pack are the problem.
    Need to up their game in the second half.

    For what?

    Penalty was sexton being stupid firstly
    The ruck was a great spot

    Could have pinged itoje fir the maul but it's a 50/50 call

    He shouldn't have carded Wigglesworth for no arms? Can't agree there tbh.

    It wasn’t a shoulder to the head.

    The maul one is a 50/50.

    The referee is not the problem here. Leinster are being outdone physically.

    Wrong side of ruck interfering with the ball, accidental or not. He might have let it go if sexton hadn't immediately played it.

    Is this game in Toulon? The crowd is embarrassing. I don't actually mind, but please no Leinster fans post about other fans crowds booing.

    Leaving that aside, it's great game of rugby. Saracens are winning up front, and Lowe and McFadden are not really winning the aerial battle.

    Bench will be important. I wouldn't have too much faith in Deegan for a game like this, but I'd be very tempted to pull Toner and bring on Ruddock. Hard to see O'Loughlin doing better in the air than the starting wingers.

    This game will go down to the wire I think.

    Just because he didn't connect properly doesn't change the intent of what he did. Shoulder was clearly aimed upwards at the head...

    Thought Wigglesworth was extremely lucky. Shoulder contact to the head with no sight of arms wrapping. Is it only a red when the player is big enough to do damage or wot.

    Lainster lucky to be ahead. Saracens are absolutely dominating the contact area. Itoje looking near his best, even if he is skirting the law a lot. Leinster look very dangerous with ball in hand tho.

    I'd imagine Ruddock will come in early to add some physicality. Leavy has been very good at 7, slikely one of the second row with Fardy moving there.

    50/50 me hoop, he's lying on top of the player carrying the ball.
