Another YC for Northampton.

Poor call there.
Well, maybe he was on his knee first.

Leinster definitely getting decisions here.

No question about it, ref's definitely riding Saints so far.

Ah come on, a few were only saying that Wood was taking the mick with infringements

Faugheen

There aren’t many wingers in Ireland in better form than Dave Kearney.

Clegg

Great rip in midfield, but Northampton really weren't interested in defending after.

dublinman1990

Dave Kearney gave us the BP. Brilliant.

Edit: Ah here. Don't tell me it's a Knock on.

Great change of direction by Ross Byrne

Squidgy Black

Lovely stuff from Dave.

Clegg

Is that forward?

Clegg

Took a long time that.

errlloyd

Ref has been very generous to us. That would have been robbery tho

Nope. Didn't touch him

dublinman1990

The ball was backward according to the TMO.

Try still stands for Kearney.

With what decisions?

Clegg

Two trys and a gathered restart.

The Ringer is a man of many talents.

pickarooney

Didn't touch Healy and didn't go forward. Why does it take so long to rule on stuff like that?

Faugheen

There’s no way he’s onside

Short advantage for RR first try and binning Wood.

pickarooney

Good to have NH stay in the game.

Dan Biggar is such a wanker.

Three scores up and booing......

Agree. In a non tight score situation, every team should get the benefit of the doubt for inconsequential stuff that happens 40 phases before.

That advantage is called short nearly all the time, especially when a team goes to kick.

It was the 4th penalty Wood had given away, nothing harsh about it.

Too busy controlling a 31-14 lead.

Byrne’s pace has always been a talking point. No chance the 8 is onside either.

troyzer

How the ref didn't overturn that try is beyond me.

Clear crossing.

Seemed strange. Once luke was out of the line, the overlap was created.

You don't need to leap to the defence of players you like every single time.

He's doing fine, just let it go

Couldn't be more obvious.

Hence the booing from us anyway. You could see it was a clear crossing from the stand.

Clegg

Ringrose was brilliant that first half. The two trys are an obvious starting point, but he's done so much in attack other than that. A slight shift in direction to gain an extra metre, quick ball presentation after being tackled. Best player on the pitch followed closely by Lowe.

Christmas charity.

I want to have something for our lads to get their teeth into here, soft as sh1t pools do us no favours.

Think it was because the defender outside him stepped in. If he'd drifted out, it's more apparent.

Newuseruntaken

It would still of been a try anyway if that Northampton player hadnt of taken him out, so can’t feel too aggrieved.

kmart6

Thats just great from your own 5m.

Larbre34

Hugely mature from Larmour.

Filth.

Larbre34

Good day to try Ringer at 10 no?

dublinman1990

Well played Lowe in getting the try.

Both he & Ringrose are playing like superstars today on that pitch. Leinster are so deeply lucky to have them.

Faugheen

Furlong having a monster game here.

dublinman1990

Hat trick for Ringrose.

Faugheen

Ringrose scoring another hattrick

troyzer

The only good thing I can say about Northampton is that their maul defense is world class.

Was just thinking that. Unbelievably good. And Leinster's maul is good to excellent usually.

yerrahbah

Can we just save everybody some time and give Leinster the trophy now

dublinman1990

Wow. That was magic from Dave Kearney.

troyzer

Top of the premiership.

It's ridiculous.

prawnsambo

Some wheels on Dave Kearney

Delighted to get that after the petty **** they started
