[Match Thread]Exeter Chiefs V Leinster - Sat April 10th - K.O. 5.30pm - BT Sport 2

Clear penalty.

fitz

Jesus.

Soups123

This is unreal he’s making his own rules and yet again ignoring TMO

kmart6

If it's a yellow here it'll be a makeup yellow for the first half.

Raynal is baffling

Excellent little play from Leinster. Pulled Exeter out of position and then when their forwards were overloaded on one side we passed back into that mass but they hadn't the legs to track the runner.

Thought Byrne's pass might have been forward tho.

It’s like both teams are sleep walking through the game. Brainless stuff leading to easy line breaks. The team with the most discipline will win this game. Deft plays are a plus

Raynal is a law onto himself

Sabre0001

Didn't go forward. Sale conceded a try earlier with a similar block down.

Exeter with 16 on the pitch!

RugbyLover123

So poor from Lowe.. just stay in field..

Clegg

Baird's proficiency at stealing lineouts doesn't get enough credit. He does it a lot.

Clegg

That's a brilliant finish from Larmour.

Terrific steal

fitz

Clear try. Great from Larmour.

Larbre34

Ah that's pure athletic. Well done Larmour chap.

degsie

let me guess, TMO check?

KH25

Stop that Larmour, there’s kids watching!

Exclamation Marc

Larmour having an excellent game.

Never doubted him.

Ahem.

In all seriousness though, what positioning to get that try.

baas baa

Unconventional again from Larmour but well done all the same. Wouldn't agree with the decision to go wide in that situation though.

Unreal finish Larmour

That's some finish.

kmart6

Fantastic from Larmour

Harsh this. The idea is that he goes down that narrow side and the support follows for the offload. Was a mixture of it being well read by Exeter and poor support.

A-Train

Go on Jordan a great finish

Made a mug out of Hogg, always nice to see.

Yeah, I mean, of all the things to complain about a TMO check on, that's not one of them. Inches from touch.

Do you actually think that shouldn't be checked?

AbusesToilets

Hogg is an awful defender

Clegg

Both teams have deficiencies in defence

Leinsters props have been caught defending in midfield and getting isolated. And Exeters defence out wide has been very soft.

Locke_Lamora

That's the sort of play Larmour's sort of been missing for a while. Backed himself and didn't take too much time. Great to see.

baas baa

That could be a big 2 points at the end of this, just feels like one of those games. If they kept it tight there, with the penalty advantage, a try from a better angle felt a cert.

Exclamation Marc

Van Der Flier is just so good.

fitz

Never a penalty

kmart6

That is such a poor penalty for Exeter to give away

Clegg

Exeter scrum half clearly didn't release after making the tackle.

Garda Kenny

Inexperience and lack of confidence from Kelleher. You break from that maul earlier and make a clean break down the blindside. Going late led to turnover. Crucial mistakes

Clegg

Byrne's been hit high twice now.

Exclamation Marc

High tackle.

Yellow card to Byrne for putting his face in the wrong position.

degsie

High tackle!

KH25

Again. Joke of a ref.

Apparently the rule in rugby is that Ross Byrne is fair play.

They should just kick him in the bollyx and stamp on his eyes, no problem.

Bridge93

Utter bull****.

PhlegmyMoses

Least he is consistent

Not at all.
Ross Byrne dipped into it. Minimal force. Was penalty only. Never more than that

Look high on Byrne and very late on O'Loughlin.

theVersatile

Hey, ye are the ones that were calling for consistency. Be careful what you wish for!

Soups123

How can a ref get away with this in this day and age. Incompetency at its worst

irelandrover

Wasn't o loughlin tripped there? which would be a yellow.
