Harry out, Ross in

Kraftwerk

Gutted for Harry. Pulled up in the last round of drills before the game by the looks of it.

Beautiful start. Thought Ringrose could have given it wide but I'll let him off as just being rusty.

Saints coach so negative. Feeding into the teams body language.

He made a good decision. Retain the ball and recycle quick

If Kearney was put in the corner that would inch perfect, far too easy it must be said.

Think the cover would have got to him

Fantastic support from Ruddock for that Baird break.

Faugheen

Rhys did incredibly well to get to that ruck after Baird’s break. Broke his bollocks to ensure Baird wasn’t isolated.

I still don’t understand what more Farrell needs to see from him, considering the problems he’s had in the back-row against more physical sides.

This could honestly be 60+ the way things are going, this will get worse before it gets better if this is how easy it is for Leinster after 7 mins.

Kraftwerk

Not good for Ringrose and O'Brien. Two HIAs surely.

Doris not there either?

He pull out an hour before he was knocked out. I wouldn't like to comment on what he was doing...

Edit: Sorry. Bad joke about getting knocked out for riding someone's missus.

UAEguy2020

This must be a record for replacements for Leinster...

Choosing a scrum 5m from your own line is madness.

2nd try, 3rd injury.
Edit, seems okay

Morathi

No nonsense grunt try, beautiful.

Clegg

Lol.

Why did Northampton opt to scrum 5 metres from their own line?

MaddChris

What moron for Northampton made that decision? Lunacy

UAEguy2020

And that right there is why you dont choose a reset scrum on your own tryline...

Prop captains. Never good idea

Disagree with Feris there, player wasn't on the ball and then off feat.

Morathi

JOB staying off, shame for the lad.

Tbh it was almost cartoonish how much that wasn't a legal poach. :pac:

Grumble but great line

UAEguy2020

Did he seriously give Northampton a free for a crocked feed!

Poor error from Rhys.

Poor read from Ruddock. A few uncharacteristically sloppy moments from Leinster in this one so far
