Sharp start from Conor Fitz

Does anyone think it’s at all possible the TG4 commentators could shut the ^%^* up when the referee is explaining something to the players! Every single week they continue blabbing when ref is saying something you would like to actually hear.

ClanofLams

What a start.

SqueakyKneecap

I like this so far. A like it a LOT!

Fitz and Bladey lively

Jesus this is the worst 8 minutes I’ve seen from a visiting team in a long time

So it's not just jack prone to the odd lapse and out on the full.....

Great start from us but Leinster will surely improve as the half goes on

That was such a lazy and terrible tackle it deserved a yellow.

Doesn't look like it. Their heads are completely gone. Looks like they're in shock from last week still. Totally off the pace. Never seen as slow and disconnected a defensive line from Leinster from the opening minute.

Blade is playing himself into Ireland territory here so far surely!

SqueakyKneecap

Woeful defending

testtech05

That was extremely soft, gives them such an easy shot in the arm after such an awful start

Bazzo

And there's the unbelievably cheap score we all knew was coming

ClanofLams

Think it has gotten better recently but that still happens too often on Connacht restarts

theVersatile

That was a softer penalty switch than Cloete yesterday

Bazzo

Jesus that is unbelievably soft...

Buer

Incredibly harsh penalty on Murray.

SqueakyKneecap

Frank Murphy taketh away once again

testtech05

What a ridiculous call against Murray

In fairness it was Brace who called it but either way ridiculous

Touch judge called it

Ridiculous call. Doesn't excuse the(again) cheap cheap score that follows.

That was a cheap pen on Murray. McGrath actually punched the ball out of his hands first. Then Murray kicked it when it fell.

What the hell was that penalty for? Murphy is getting worse by the game.

sydthebeat

Frank Murphy has a horrible manner for a ref... Even worse than lacey

Apologies missed that

Commentators saying this was a response from Leinster. Nonsense, a complete non penalty has been capitalised on but the penalty itself was ridiculous and on no level a penalty. Terrible refereeing.

And the worst 10 minutes from a home team

testtech05

Our maul defence is still like wet paper anyway

Talk about getting back into a game when doing nothing.

Terrible either way with the decision. It didnt give them 3 tries.

testtech05

That was never forward
