    Would like to see the build up to that try. Looked like Byrne has options to pass left or right, but didn't take them.

    Excellent finish from Kearney. A lesser Kearney wouldn't have gotten that down.

    Baird has been exceptional. Impressed with Murphy too.

    Leave Max Kearney out of this!

    Accuracy doesn’t look there today. But in fairness there’s been a lot of disruption to the team which can’t have helped.

    Definitely. Still think Baird is taking contact too upright at times, but he's winning collisions against bigger men. Murphy is very underrated imo, I reckon he'll pick up a few caps.

    Henshaw had a very good half. Baird showing up well, lineout excellent. Porter and Healy both going well. Were much more physical than Northampton but were panicky and lacking composure.

    Mental games at play now and expectation weighing along with the injuries. Get the next score and we should be fine, don't see enough from Northampton to turn this around either way.

    Baird certainly looks the better of the second rows.
    Murphy okay but back row needs to be more effective.

    Like to see Leavy on the pitch for the second half

    The Steward is now on 18 tries in his last 20 games btw

    Wasn't aware that Josh Murphy is a cousin of Harry and Ross Byrne.

    Yessssssss!

    That’s more like it from JGP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,704 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Some great awareness from JGP. But what were Northampton doing leaving nobody in direct line of their posts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    Great stuff Jamie, but that was too easy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,704 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Oh good jaysus.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,761 ✭✭✭degsie


    Great response, fair play


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,119 ✭✭✭UAEguy2020


    JGP makes up for buying that dummy in the first half!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,122 ✭✭✭KH25


    Sweet Jesus.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,790 ✭✭✭✭Burkie1203


    Very very sloppy

    Shute stuff Jamie, but that was far too easy...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭LostArt


    Such a sloppy performance


  • Site Banned Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭Faugheen


    If McGrath was playing and gave up two tries like JGP has today, he’d be getting crucified on here right now.

    Third caller to door.. missed restart


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,119 ✭✭✭UAEguy2020


    And then JGP immediatly screws up. Northampton almost have a BP and all 3 tries are directly from monumental Leisnter **** ups...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,761 ✭✭✭degsie


    Great to see a team put it up to Lein a bit!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,122 ✭✭✭KH25


    Far too many basic errors from Leinster.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,805 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Should have been penalty before that one to Leinster, total shoulder charge.

    Potential card too. Clear shoulder charge into a players back.
