Yep, they've just confirmed my point.

Yeah, that was really poor.

19-0 to Leinster after about 23 minutes.

They can't deal with our line speed at all.

Canada don't have the players, but are launching themselves into it with great determination.

Recipe for injuries to be honest.

Canadian 6 has some skinny legs. They look physically small in general. George Kruis is probably the same width as any two of the Canadian pack standing together side by side.

This is a great quality broadcast to be fair for a preseason game.

molloyjh

Yeah. Shame we've been poor for last 20 mins. Discipline has been atrocious.

It's been higher quality than some of the camera work for the proper test games held in America.

To be fair, Canada are giving this everything. Leinster have a chance to close the deal here, don't think Canada can come back again.

I dunno. We're killing ourselves with our discipline. And with all the changes we'll make this half we'll lose any momentum we might have had. I can see us lose this.

Good reaction from Leinster there. Not a bad game this to be honest, Leinster are the better team but Canada REALLY want to win.

Exclamation Marc

Oh lord that is unforgivable to be blocked down there.

molloyjh

Are Leinster the better team? Really? I'm not convinced.

Lovely break by Tomane there but god his pass off the right is poor. Your midfield at this level should be more accurate than that.

errlloyd

That's a great try. But Tomane butchered one for us

22 degrees. Not quite the Ireland V Italy USA '94 scorcher I was hoping to blame.

Yeah, we are better in possession but following a process to build scores and making mistakes.

Canada are making hay from the odd missed tackle and our penalty count.

We can still win this - we tidy up the discipline and hold onto the ball we can cover the gap in the last 15.

I'm not sure we've the experience or leadership on the field to do that however.

molloyjh

Theres a fair bit if hone town refereeing. Lots of penalties against us for offside, very few against them despite some clear offsides. We've gifted them 2 scores now too.

Cheers I've a great picture. but no sound.

Mother of god. That turnover was made by a defender flat out on his stomach. No way he was on his feet!

‘To no number. No try. No, try is given.’ Great commentary
