Scarlets are missing nearly as many players as we are at the moment. And it shows I think. Our pack should get the job done and hopefully the backs can cut loose a bit a rack up a score. We had scored TBPs in every game up to last week, where we finally failed to get one. We dont want to let that become a habit.

Backline could be really good with ball in hand. Defense I’m not so sure about but after watching Scarlets last week, that’s not so concerning.

dublinman1990 · 30-01-2021 7:45pm

Oh. Leinster were very close to get a try there from DK.

crisco10 · 30-01-2021 7:47pm

Leinster doing lots right. Just not sticking so far.

Squidgy Black · 30-01-2021 7:52pm

Lovely kick from Byrne there to set that up.

These jerseys are such an eyesore though.

Morathi · 30-01-2021 7:52pm

Lucky he let Tracy take that again.

Buer · 30-01-2021 7:52pm

Surprised Leinster didn't make more of that incident of the knock on. O'Reilly was apparently annoyed about something and there was a hint of an early tackle which caused the knock on.

Lovely kick from Harry Byrne to create this 5m scenario although a very kind bounce lent a helping hand.

crisco10 · 30-01-2021 7:53pm

Scrums are taking an eternity (more than usual) so far.

I can't wait untill refs start to pay attention to the Tap and go with a prebind being a penalty offence again.

crisco10 · 30-01-2021 7:54pm

Loving leavys eye for a try there.

Buer · 30-01-2021 7:54pm

Nice carry from Conan to make that. Looking really physical out there and more like the Conan of 18 months ago.

Leavy doing a standard openside job.

dublinman1990 · 30-01-2021 7:54pm

Nice score from Leavy.

Ach that was shocking

Huge gap in the line

Former Former Former · 30-01-2021 7:57pm

Ah lads.

Leavy and Tracy completely messed it up

Buer · 30-01-2021 7:57pm

Great response. Really highlighted the midfield weakness that Leinster often have in these games. Tracy didn't have the athleticism to adjust but the gap between himself and the inside man was way too large.

Venjur · 30-01-2021 7:57pm

Tracy slightly out of position but Leinster a bit asleep after the restart.

Squidgy Black · 30-01-2021 7:58pm

Think that was more on Leavy shooting up beside Conan leaving the massive gap that Tracy was never going to be able to cover across. Good line from the Scarlets 8 didn't help matters either.
