awec

warning signs there for Leinster.

Mr Disco

Leinster looking lethargic and weak

Eoinbmw

How did they ever decide to play a final on this pitch way too tight!

theVersatile

That would've been an all timer Heineken Cup try if Dupont had stayed in.

I'll wait until Leinster have a spell in possession before I start weighing in on how it'll play out.

This is it

Finding a lot of space, blitz not working well so far

ironingbored

Osbourne couple of errors already. Hopefully out of the system.

JRant

Very harsh penalty there

fitz

I hate in-goal areas that small. Ridiculous.

leakyboots

Carley is giving both 9s ages at the back of the ruck.

Great counter-ruck there. Osbourne not having a great start at all

Inquitus

Could be 6-0 down here in a flash! Come on lads, wake up!

SlickRic

Appalling start.

No structure to the attack at all. Osborne isolating himself as a result.

Mr Disco

new Leinster defense strategy looking disastrous

This is it

Poor so far. Need some possession to settle us

ironingbored

Did Meafou not go off his feet after the counter ruck?

SaoPaulo41

Game could slip away from us pretty quickly

fitz

We've barely had the ball, folks need to calm down a bit. Long way to go.

So? It's still comfortably a legal sized pitch under the laws.

JRant

Come on Carley, you blew Osbourne straightaway and let them away twice there with bodies flopping on the wrong side.

ironingbored

Should've been a penalty against Willis earlier

theVersatile

Ahki has started poorly. Noped out of the restart and a bad read to let Lowe through.

fitz

So close to a doozie of a try there.

JRant

Not taking the 3 is lunacy

SaoPaulo41

Take pts ffs

mr_edge_to_you

Why the aversion to taking 3 points?

theVersatile

Leinster finding space but their ball handling is woeful

Burkie1203

TOulouse off feet at will

Utah_Saint

The ref is riding Leinster

leakyboots

Super defence, could have been a try with the quick penalty. Bunch of Leinster players turned their backs

This is it

FFS, absolutely killing our ruck

Burkie1203

That's deliberate ffs

ironingbored

Surely Toulouse illegal at the lineout earlier

fitz

Tolouse tackler doesn't release, two other players come in from the side, and Carley penalized Leinster. Standard.

SaoPaulo41

How is that not a yellow

theVersatile

Attempted catch - not even a cousin to a slap into touch.

fitz

Trying to regather my absolute hoop.

SaoPaulo41

Take 3 pts

Burkie1203

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122181631#Comment_122181631

Nonsense. One hand no attempt to catch

theVersatile

Leinsters handling is woeful. They could have 2 or 3 tries if they were accurate

Clegg

Lads.

Points.

martingriff

Should have taken the 3

ironingbored

That's a rip

leakyboots

Ntamack tackled without the ball anyway there after the knock-on/rip

JRant

That's a rip by Toulouse surely.

Augme

Jesus, how does Donal Lenhihan not even know the rules?

SlickRic

Um, that's a rip.

fitz

Timing just seems a little off in running lines, passes getting pulled back too far at killer times. Settle and the tries will come.

Burkie1203

Lying there and nothing. Carley wake up

Clegg

Toulouse leaking a lot of penalties in their own 22.

Take the three points.

JRant

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122181665#Comment_122181665

Every single ruck there's at least one player lying on the wrong side.

leakyboots

Leinster don't look to have a lot of ideas in attack, the garryowen is their main weapon. 3 points here should help settle them
