That’s a filthy knee slide.

Lovely try.

Just seen it there.

Think he's actually pulling out of the tackle as the try is scored. Unfortunate accident that Whitehouse overreacted to.

Commentary are embarrassing themselves.

Tomane ****ed that completely. From the moment the ball came out to the slide. Idiot

Yeah... But he still kneeslides him.

Commentators are making no sense. There's no intent... but he still kneeslides him and catches him heavily

Bridge93

It’s an obvious yellow card. He has no need to do it at all

What's with the booing from Leinster fans?

Has to be yellow for Tomane

It's not booing, it's sarcastic jeering.

Edinburgh really don't look like much imo. The squeeze they put on us in the scrum on 20 minutes was their first proper attack.

Players doing that knee slide does my ****ing nut in. It's purely to try and hurt the other player. Steff Evans took Ferg out of it in one of. the Scarlets late games two years ago.

Totally deserved card.

Ride this out without too much damage on the scoreboard, and with the wind in the second half the game should be there for the taking.

No, no, it was booing. The sarcastic jeering came straight from the restart when the fans jeered the penalty restart which they thought went out on the full

Doubles down on the crooked lineout “it’s crooked but no contest”

I agree it’s accidental but it’s reckless. We’d be foaming at the mouth if it happened to one of our players.

Whitehouse is spot on giving him a yellow.

This is great from Leinster. Vakh has sorted the scrum out, chewing up the sin bin time.

Bridge93

That’s a killer

You don’t kneeslide accidentally. He could have kept running past him or jumped over. You slide, you know exactly what you are doing.

The last 7 scrums have lead to 6 penalties and one completed. Wtf

Reckon Gibson Park is the next Leinster player capped. He's putting on a show here.

leakyboots

Leinster have managed the sinbin period excellently

leakyboots

There it is, super stuff

Bridge93

That’s a superb 10 minutes

I absolutely love Lowe's enthusiasm but he shouldn't have called for it there, he had nothing on.

Neil3030

That's absolute quality from Leinster to survive the sin bins and go in ahead, all into the wind too.

Clegg

God, I love Leinster.

What a fcuking team. Terrific stuff.

Neil3030

It must have been harder for Byrne to drop it inside the 5-yard line from that spot, than kick the penalty over the bar?

sydthebeat

Delighted for big mick

Really entertaining half of rugby - Leinster dominant but Edinburgh got an avenue back into the game through officiating that I felt was tough enough but not necessarily unreasonable.

My steam is picking up some random commentary.

That is how you start a half.
