Ah Jesus its Toland. Prepare for subjective and reasoned colour commentary. Not.

Long shot but does anyone know of any pubs in Manchester that would likely be showing this?

That O’Laughlin talking head bit was awful, the music was way too loud and he was mumbling.

I assume this is just your experience as a Connacht fan in France?

That'll do nicely

Some good rugby from Leinster here. Conor O'Brien seems to have that knack for being on the shoulder.

Nice dummy by JGP

Buer

Leinster backs looked poor in defence but fluid in attack.

Mick Kearney and JGP having bright starts. There's gonna be a few tries tonight for both sides.

Fardy Kearney a beast there in the run up.

Balde running sideways a few times from rucks now.

Clegg

Did O'Brien just hand off Aki?

This could be ugly.

Leinster are just steam rolling through us when they have the ball.

Connacht playing with fire with their clearouts, very nearly caught twice now.

Jesus this is really physical.

I mean that try was the second phase. Albeit clearly a two phase move.

Back three is absolutely horrible when they've the ball. No cohesion or understanding whatsoever.

Keenan is nowhere to be seen when they're kicking and our wingers are pushing right up. If that's the plan, they need to change it immediately.

Yeah, as u say semantics. Sort of was just getting at leinster being pulled out of shape quickly by connacht.

errlloyd

****ing lineout sort it out.

Does Toland think colin slade is the connacht scrum half?????

Two great contributions by Blade in about a minute.... Ffs

Buer

Backs are brutal defensively...on both sides.

For Leinster, this is exactly how it was against the Ospreys too but they lost interest when Leinster scored a couple. Connacht won't roll over against Leinster. There's nobody directing things in the back line when they've possession.
