Well worked maul for another Leinster try.

Squidgy Black

Aki comes on, crowd go wild, almost immediately gives away a penalty and Leinster score from the resulting lineout.

Yikes.

Difference in the packs is frightening. Connacht to have any chance have to open this game up

There was no contact with the head? No way on earth that's a red.

Should have been a yellow at least but wasnt as bad on second viewing.

Wouldn’t even be a controversial decision. If they’re going with form he’s easily top right now.

Nice sportsmanship from Carty :rolleyes:

Bridge93

Clearly it’s only a penalty. Obviously late but Carty made some meal of it

Correct decision by the ref. Nothing in it. A dive more then anything.

irishbucsfan

To be fair with the way Connacht have been pushed over their line repeatedly with next to no resistance tonight, not much of a surprise that Carty would look like a crisp packet in the wind after being lightly touched by a lad barely out of school

Ref struggled there, usually he awards a penalty, yellow card or red, wondering how to award an Oscar for the dive.

The same booing will happen in every ground. They can do what they want

Tomanes on fire tonight.
Everything he's touching has been good.
