Frawley back in after his shoulder niggle, while Toner continues his march on D'Arcy's cap record. Four to go.

Spare a thought for Harry Byrne, who must feel so dirty and used, playing in a, ugh, Pro 14 game when he is, quite frankly, above this competition. Must be horrible for him seeing the elder and dare I say it better-looking Byrne getting a nice holiday in Rome at the same time.

Decent looking table. It's been a while.

bayern

Byrne, Frawley, JOB axis usually means sexy rugby.

Squidgy Black

Would have had Cronin at 8 instead of openside personally. But Benty will make a great blindside.

Look man, it's a revolutionary new concept, will take the rugby world by storm.

Morathi

Bowe and D'Arcy chatting about Frawley possibly having to pull out, which would be crap.

Morathi

Confirmed, Frawley out, Osborne in

Clegg

Frawley out is a big blow. He's developed a very good partnership with Byrne. Creative game suffers in his absence.

sydthebeat

That young Byrne chap is quite good

Morathi

Great start, clinical from the Glasgow mistake.

When the weather is like this, I really miss the RDS.

Burkie1203

Stadium announcer in BCD games. I dont get it

Don't send me links to working streams as that would be against the charter.

irishbucsfan

Awful start from Glasgow

I'm guessing it's for H&S reasons.

Clegg

That's a tackle in the air.

Yellow and pen try.

Morathi

Glasgow are having a horrid time.

Podge_irl

Glasgow player stuck between a rock and a hard place there

Burkie1203

4 penalty offences in 60 second there.

Clegg

Shouldn't be conceding trys with a man advantage

Morathi

Great from Dave there.

Morathi

lol of course it's Penny.

Clegg

Scott Penny is a try scoring machine. 8 trys in 8 games this season and 14 trys in 22 career appearances.

Clegg

Playing well when in possession but our discipline in defence is poor.

Absolutely nothing offence.

Morathi

Pity it was Fardy on the wing :pac:

Clegg

Leinster playing some dumb stuff.

We've been under the pump and managed to stop a Glasgow try each time. But when we go to exit we cock it up.

Scott Fardy:

Should I kick it?
Should I kick it?

Bit of an odd passage of play there. Even if you're a forward, just boot it instead of running into touch. Or recycle and let someone able to clear to clear.

irishbucsfan

Great scramble tackle from Osborne there but him and ROL are under pressure, hopefully it clicks for them

Morathi

Super clearance kick from Byrne

Clegg

Byrne gone

Former Former Former

Well sh1t.

Morathi

Was that HIA?

irishbucsfan

Leinster's defense is atrocious but thankfully Glasgow just throwing the ball away

dregin

Hastings doing his best Cantona impression there. Absolutely no need for his studs to be showing!

Morathi

"contest in the air" me hole. XD

irelandrover

That has to be a red. Foot needlessly high and kicks sometime in the face

Burkie1203

Thats not a natural movement

This could be a red.

irishbucsfan

Ooof

Former Former Former

Absolutely right. Good refereeing. That's not accidental because he had no need to make that movement.

There'll be a load of spanners going on about "rugby incident" but that's ridiculous from Hastings.

ongarite

And he is off.

Morathi

Byrne HIA confirmed, and permanent.

Akrasia

That was a clear red all day, You can't go in to catch a ball with your foot that high in the air

Pity as it basically kills whatever chance Glasgow had at a comeback

Morathi

Penny, hahahaha XD

Unreal stuff from Penny.

Sangre

You can see why Penny is so destructive despite his "small" size. Was nearly full tilt after about 2 strides...

irishbucsfan

What sort of odds do you get on Penny as anytime try scorer?

degsie

Can Leinster just replace the Ireland team, please?

Probably not that great considering his record and the spread on Leinster. If it was over evens I'd be surprised.

Sanjuro

As backrow players go, Penny looks pretty small. But he also looks incredibly good. Would his size be an opposition to international rugby?
