    Just a cut above all the rest of the three-quarters on the pitch.....& prob in Ireland

    We need to see more of Chris Farrell before saying things like that if you believe some people here.

    Leinster backrow's selection is going to be fascinating. Ruddock's injury might make it simpler but a good player is going to be miss out.

    Fardy (and Cronin) probably looking at a ban, so the balance needed may dictate that decision.

    If he steps up and pushes himself into first choice that's only a good thing. Ringrose is still a brilliant player and will continue to be so for Leinster, and additional competition for the Ireland shirt won't do any harm.

    Farrell would need to be exceptional to top some of Ringroses performances and I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to see that if it's possible.

    Super attack and defence there. Copeland is Connachts best player today

    Why would they get a ban?

    I've seen swaddling babies put down rougher....

    No hint of a red there

    You dont expect a citing? I do.

    I thought earlier they got Copeland down safely but the half time reviewed showed they didnt particularly. Lacey didn't punish and theres no way a lift beyond the horiz and landing on the shoulder is going to go unpunished.

    Would have thought the ruck was formed when Copeland won the penalty?

    Dont listen to Eddie....he just wants to become relevant again so will say anything to get a headline

    Didn't hear anyone else saying it was a red

    Yeah, much harder than Tomane, in the whole 5 minutes of the match I have seen! Looked like Joe was very hesitant going in to a ruck

    I was trying not to listen to him, but yes as a potential red its likely to be investigated at least, the replay speaks for itself

    I’d think Bundee is kicking himself he didn’t get more ball to run at Sexton like that more this eve.
    Sexton did well to stop him!
    Both look in great shape.
