    Great kick off from Frawley and gather from Kearney which was the making of that try in fairness.

    Why wasnt he given a yellow for hitting Daly in the air ?

    But he didn't hit him in the air. In fact he didn't really do anything. Daly jumped into him and kneed him in the head..

    Letter of the law says that if Daly lands on his head there, Lowry gets red.

    (shows how bad an outcome-based law is)

    Instead what we have is Lowry gone off with an injury cause Daly flew into him.

    Adam Byrne's having a great game in attack.

    Two week suspension if that happens to you, which is a bit harsh on Lowry, but I suppose the sanctions have to be consistent. Of Daly had fallen slightly differently, he could have broken his neck.

    Not sure why the ref didnt look at that tackle. Seemed to go above horizontal

    Why are kicking for points? We aren't going to win this. Go to the corner and try and get 4 tries.

    On a positive for us McBurnery and Jones have done well so far. Defensively we are so passive though. Leinster have all the time in the world with the ball.

    Would love to see that Porter pen called more often.

    Good refereeing. If more people got penalised for acting the dick then we'd all be better off.

    Like how Porter is adding a turnover threat to his game, will be very useful to have coming off the bench in the 6N when teams are a bit slower to rucks late in games.

    Conor. O Brien really marshalling the drift well there. That's breeds confidence in players outside you

    Who is the ref? Has a very odd accent. He's doing well though.

    Terrible from JGP.

    Was a surefire try if we'd kept it tight for a few more phases.

    That was a daft pass to even think about throwing.

    Shocking attempt at a skip pass from JGP there!

    Finn Russell laughing at him.

    Swear he sounded like he was from Liverpool at one point...

    I love a long loopy pass nearly gets intercepted and the thought process is that its the perfect thing to do again...

    I don't get the ref there, either give it or don't. It's offside or it's not.
