    This game is gas. Four trys scored in 13 minutes. Three of them by Leinster.

    Soroka is showing up very well especially considering he wasn't due to start. Two good finishes and a charge down to create the third try.

    Ref blocking the defender for that try.

    Lots of mistakes there. Osborne never should have been offside on that kick when he had a clearly line of sight there. And we should have been alert to the quick tap.

    Leinster once again shooting themselves in the foot. All from a stupid offside.

    Nice to see a speedy Leinster side for once.

    Injury has been his biggest impediment. Him and Baird could have a great fight for the 6 jersey - very complementary skills.

    Great to have a bonus point try already.

    But for jaysus sake Harry could you please not throw an intercept every game?

    Penalty advantage, dead right to throw a long pass.

    Kenny did well to finish that.

    That's a yellow for a very silly tackle in the air from Osborne.

    Not sure why so many here are irritated. It's very yellow.

    Have to presume the opponent will jump at the last second and just let him have it.

    Andrew Osborne doesn't have it. Runs decent lines and has a bit of pace, but has been falling off so many tackles this game, fell asleep for the Zebre try from the cross field kick; and shouldn't have been offside for the penalty that Zebre scored a try from.

    Osborne has been a liability so far in this match. He really never impresses.

    Who’s the referee? Don’t think I’ve seen him before. Impressed by how quick that decision was. No need to look at 50 angles, just get on with the game as he did.

    What, chasing a high ball and being in a completely legitimate position to catch it? Should have stayed in the dressing room sure.

    Being mauled off the pitch. EveryZebre lineout is a danger.

    He was nowhere close to catching it and he's lucky the Zebre player just about missed landing on his face or it would be a red.

    Terrible maul defence again. Leinster just keep handing Zebre golden opportunities to get back into the match.

    Red card for Osborne. We're in a spot of bother now

    Ah that’s a joke call, yellow card all day! 20 minute red card is a farce.

    Though I will admit to being surprised it's been upgraded.

    20 min red card…
    good thing we moved back to a 5-3 albeit with another new cap.
