What a great try. Some lovely movement and a good finish by Dave K.

Why does Kearney look so utterly dejected after scoring lol

Exactly really odd

Leinster score a try Ireland never will

Harry Byrne's passing has been a bit ropey, but his kicking from the tee and from hand is exceptional.

Jaysus, what a try, a roller coaster of emotions. XD

Sanjuro

Ospreys making this look very easy for Leinster.

A-Train

Nice finish by Penny

Cian Kelleher : I can has try plz?

Clegg

Not convinced that Byrne is 100% after taking that knock earlier.

Clegg

Brilliant tackle and counter-ruck from Fardy. Won us that penalty.

Morathi

Not a bad 1st half all things considered.

ROL, JOB, Fardy, and Ruddock the stand outs for me.

I have no concept of the different O'Briens in the backline. They've all melded into one.

Milne looking very good

Which time?

Clegg

Jimmy O'Brien looks very promising. Positions himself well under the high ball, carries strongly and has a big left boot. Very unfussy player.

Garda Kenny

Byrne is a kicking outhalf. Doesn’t do much outside of that and is a slightly better(faster) version of his brother. More or less carbon copies of eachother. I’m not sure Leinster couldn’t do with a playmaker flyhalf like Frawley instead. Or Hawkshaw.

Hard to gauge with the ospreys putting him under no pressure, but still enjoyable to watch so far.

I think Milne is really going under the radar in terms of prospects, his work around the park is really impressive for a 21 year old LH, if he can get better at scrumming he will be some player.

His scrummaging is suspect but a go forward merchant he certainly is

kingofthekong

Milne looking like he’ll be stepping over Dooley in the pecking order , Dooley really hasn’t kicked on since early promise

Bit of a vague question but how hard is propping to learn? If you have the right build, core strength and attitude how long would it take to get from 'never played rugby before' to 'holds his own in the Pro14'?

Josh Murphy quietly having a great game. Getting through an absolute mountain of work.

How long is a piece of string?

These days though, if they don't have a very good level of skill and situational awareness around the field, then its a moot point.

Garda Kenny

Ruddock for me the puck of the forwards. Massive hits in defence and a lot of yards gained
