    Fardy must be close to a yellow. 3 penalties now. Wouldn’t let go of Butlers neck after giving away the second one either.

    Ref did his best to facilitate that try

    Why do you think that? High tackle and then contact in the air?

    I think there was another arm in there.

    Oh please, two stonewall penalties. Connacht didn't even need to use the second one.

    Agree with the penalties but might not have taken the kick if not advantage

    It looked like a pretty clear arm around the neck to me.

    Two different players with an arm around a green neck.

    There was nothing wrong with either penalty. First was round the neck the second was a fairly innocuous contact but contact nonetheless

    Are there injuries in the Connacht front five or are they rested? If this lot go out against Montpellier next week you’d really fear for them

    Watching back and well behind live.

    Fitzgeralds try just happened. Paused the game.

    What. A. Try.

    Connaughton had advantage so it was probably low percentage and its an intercept risk but it was clearly pre meditated and perfectly executed.

    Stand up and applaud moment.

    Otherwise Leinster are much, much more physical than connacht which has to be a worry.

    Lancaster has turned Tomane into an excellent player. He was a talent at the start of his career. France robbed him of that but he's unreal here, loving his rugby and confident. Brilliant to see both for the person and for Leinster.

    Would be great to see Connacht get back into the game from here, 48 minutes and 24 score difference. Game almost certainly over but respectability can still be put on the score.

    Blade presenting the ball the wrong side, remember doing that in school and being slagged. :D

    Didn't think Lowe had the wheels to finish that but he proved me wrong.

    Sorry Venjur but Tomane Tome will always be a winger playing in the centre
    Suspect Defense and average passing skills
