    Carty just opened a farmers field gate for him

    Must be concussed after banging his head during the dive.

    Haha I would like to thank this more then once.

    Why? That’s a totally believeable weight for a man of his frame and height as seen by other players

    I disagree...but whatever, I'll concede it. Point still stands that getting hit like that when you're off-balance and not expecting it will throw you down , so shouts of "dive" are way off.

    Carthy

    Leinster have absolutely dominated every aspect of this, in both defence and attack.

    Very disappointing. Crazy how we can go from being so good defensively last week (1 missed tackle) to this. I was worried all in our injuries in the pack would cost us and haven’t been able to live with that maul.

    Fair play to Leinster though. They have been unbelievable.

    Wonder what odds the bookies would give on a Leinster perfect season, winning every game?

    With no attempt to wrap...

    I agree that there wasn't, on viewing, a whole lot to make you think he should be holding his head. But at the end of the day he shipped the hit and we're on an internet board speculating.

    Even putting aside this outrageous ****e talk, if Carty isn’t capable of taking contact from the opposition 7 he won’t last long

    Ah here, not matter what way you look at it was a bad tackle.

    10s getting hit late isn't something the game should just accept.

    This is tough to watch. Can’t remember the last time I saw a pack this badly beaten up, have to say I could see it coming though.

    Exactly.

    He went to do him, half pulled out of it, JC milked it.

    No one is arguing with that, we have the most late hit 10 going. It’s more the theatrical dive from Carty that people are discussing here.

    If that’s true they will have to ban all tackles in rugby

    What are you on about? I haven't questioned the height.

    No rule is perfect. You make them as best you can but there'll always be exceptions and people will get hurt in ways that are legal (in that aspect). You can't legislate for the hard cases and I'm not saying you should.

    Was Henshaw not meant to be playing? Need I ask why he’s not or is it as it usually is with Robbie

    Always reckoned Leinsters front 5 would dominate. Losing Belham didn’t help Connacht there at all. Leinster have really gone after them upfront though and it’s hard to live with that speed and physicality.

    Usual story. He's about as reliable as Connacht in an interpro, you just never know if they'll actually show up even though they keep telling you they will in the lead up.
