who got that back?

Clarkson?

Paddy_Mag

LaR players entering the ruck from leinster side there

Clegg

Nah sorry ......

That was a clear holding on penalty in favour if Leinster and he waves okay in? That's not consistent with any of his calls throughout the game

JGP needs to stop clearing so deeply I think, giving LaR time to take it quickly and keep us under pressure

GoldFour4

Place kicking from LR has been excellent

A-Train

Absolute farce

F*ck

Dreadful blitz from Leinster and Doris flops again at the ruck

Le Garrec landing all his are the difference between the teams.

100%
Its happened a few times

Larbre34

Another weak as water tackle attempt from Prendergast at the end there.

Between that and kicking, we should be up by 4, not down by 2

AbusesToilets

Ffs basic errors

I thought Doris was legitimately on the ball at the ruck for the first advantage given by Carley in the lead up to that last try. He's been his usual awful self, and it's so frustrating.

GoldFour4

Harry or Sam for the drop ?

AbusesToilets

Brilliant kick from Harry there

They weren't as hard, but yeah his goal kicking is just not acceptable at this point. It was a lot better last season (though poor the season before) so I'm not sure what is going on.

HanShotFirst

Come on now.

Please nail tbe LO

Clegg

Please nail the three.

You will always get decisions going against you in games, it is how you react around those. But when it seems like there is inconsistency it kills momentum. Like how he was policing Prendergast taking penalties from the spot but then allowed Hastoy to take it way in front of the spot. It is what it is, but it stings when you lose.

HanShotFirst

Harry knock it over

clsmooth

Once they had the advantage they should have played it simple and set up next phase for a drop goal.

Paddy_Mag

Harry you beauty

Podge_irl

Massive props to Sam for letting Harry take that.

AbusesToilets

get in! Clutch kicking from Harry

PmMeUrDogs

YES HARRY.

Jesus Christ my heart

clsmooth

Jaysus what a finish. Botia class out there. TOB was super too.

Warning issued.

Well that was a great game. Didn't think it would be after 8 minutes. Great fun.

As to Carley, take off the blinkers lads. He let Leinster away with as much as he did LAR. And Leinster are notorious for getting away with murder at the breakdown.

I think Doris made that decision to be honest- Sam wasn't happy either

HanShotFirst

Delighted to win it like that.

The closer the better when it comes to playing LR
