Great to see Toner, Henshaw and SOB back.

swiwi_ · 18-01-2019 7:56pm

Tom Cruse.

Bet he had a fun childhood.

Leinster should eat those lads up....i predict a TBP, secured by 65 mins, but some late wasps scores to take the bad look off the score board.

Wasps 23 - 33 leinster

Wasps 23 - 33 leinster

With the bench we have to bring on vs theirs, I can’t see them putting a gloss on in the last quarter. More likely it’ll remain tight for the first 40-50 and we’ll pull away after that.

stephen_n · 18-01-2019 10:10pm

Just landed in London, are we nearly there yet, are we nearly there yet...

That leinster squad of fit players is ludicrous. We will put 40+ on wasps. Wasps might not win their own set piece, they might get 30% possession. At least launchbury is fit.

Donnielighto · 19-01-2019 12:21pm

Leinster to win this handily. Can't see them. Giving much to that wasps side.

Top notch trolling.

troyzer · 19-01-2019 5:01pm

Scarlets are looking like they might win this.

Leinster could be playing for a home semi. Either way, there are too many bodies in that squad looking to impress Joe.

It'll be a try bonus by the 60 minute mark and the bench will bury them.

38-15.

Coventry is the biggest ****hole going.

Confirmed.

Luto has the advantage of an escape route to London.

You would be forgiven for forgetting there was a match today.

thomond2006 · 20-01-2019 1:16pm

That Wasps looks decent. If they turn up then I imagine they can cover the points the bookies are giving them, plus Leinster don't need to chase a try bonus.

Stheno · 20-01-2019 2:46pm

Conan is out apparently

SOB starts

Max Deegan on the bench.

griffinlee · 20-01-2019 2:50pm

That's wasps strongest line up, I very much doubt they'll roll over and get there belly tickled by Leinster. I expect it to be tight. Wasps will be up for this, just the way bath were when they were at home...

Brad Shields pulls out of the game through injury. Ben Morris replaces him at blindside.

England are going to have Boris Johnson starting at 6 in Twickenham at this rate.

molloyjh · 20-01-2019 4:00pm

That’s crappy luck for Conan. Doesn’t sound serious though. Not a bad replacement to bring in.it does weaken our bench a little, and Seanie tends to be slow coming back. There’s also the risk of Seanie getting injured again. But we should still have enough to win this by 8-10 anyway. The TBP is a luxury we don’t have any real need for.

ironingbored · 20-01-2019 4:14pm

Fardy over Lowe looks an even better decision now with Conan out and SOB in.

Squidgy Black · 20-01-2019 4:22pm

Did I just witness Dave Kearney putting Joe Launchbury on his arse from a fend?

20-01-2019 4:24pm

Gibson parks passing is exceptional at times.

He was showing him to his seat.

As long as he refrains from telegraphed floaters.

Jaysus that was a mile forward. how did the ref miss it.

Squidgy Black · 20-01-2019 4:29pm

Eddie Jones must be watching this game from behind his couch, can see his pack dwindling in front of him.

Jump_In_Jack · 20-01-2019 4:32pm

Leinster back play has been predictable and poor so far, forwards making all the gains.

He's in the stand to witness it first-hand:D

ongarite · 20-01-2019 4:33pm

Wasps doing some amount of tackling.
Can't see them lasting more than 60 mins at this pace

Absoluvely · 20-01-2019 4:33pm

If Toulouse and Leinster both win as expected:
if Toulouse get a bonus point, the QF is Leinster (home) vs Toulouse
if Toulouse don't get a bonus point, the QF is Leinster (home) vs Glasgow.

Is the above correct?

If it is, and if it's apparent at half time Leinster and Toulouse will win, will Toulouse try to avoid scoring a try bonus point in order to avoid Leinster in Dublin as a QF?

Teams usually focus on playing well rather playing the tournament format, but maybe an opportunity for a Toulouse to sandbag here.

It's been 11 minutes.

In fairness they have been trying a few things. If one or two passes had stuck we would have scored a try already.

Bazzo · 20-01-2019 4:36pm

How dumb is Nathan Hughes? It's not one of those offsides where it's a knee jerk reaction, he was about 15m offside and had all the time in the world to think about it with the ball bouncing towards him and still went for it....

Think it's Ulster if they don't get the bonus

JGP is having a fantastic game so far. Buying his backs acres of space.

ongarite · 20-01-2019 4:38pm

Great step from Ringrose
