Edinburgh v Leinster

No anthem rugby returns.

Frawley doesn't even have a picture for the team line up graphic.

Larbre34 · 22-03-2019 08:35PM

Eir sport had no image of Jimmy O'Brien at 15 so just used Seanie again.

I coughed up some popcorn chuckling at that.

Sorry.. prawns, I coughed up prawns.

Gonna say Edinburgh win. They have playoff qualification on their minds whilst Leinster's selection is geared towards getting players for for next week.

I'm inclined to agree with you - but that Leinster team is just about capable of beating Edinburgh and I'd like to see the provinces step up after Ireland disappointment.

Last weeks capitulation should be a fire in the belly for all 4 teams this weekend.

Well done sir

There was a try on if Bent didn't have crap hands.

I could have sworn there was an Edinburgh hand in there.

Ferocious start - nice to see an Irish team rucking aggressively.

Barclay is blowing hard already.

22-03-2019 08:42PM

FILTH.

Clegg · 22-03-2019 08:42PM

Leinster have played some excellent rugby in this opening 5 minutes.

Need to get points from this scrum though.

razorblunt · 22-03-2019 08:42PM

Lol, Whitehouse shouted “Edinburgh back” at Watson who’s stood there, doesn’t move, makes the tackle on the line and gets “ good” from Whitehouse.

Clegg · 22-03-2019 08:47PM

Cue Tomane bashing.

Buer · 22-03-2019 08:50PM

Definite penalty but I would disagree that he knew what he was doing. He was just scrambling to get back into the defensive line.

Clegg · 22-03-2019 08:50PM

Was Reid dump tackled there?

Buer · 22-03-2019 08:51PM

That's a red card letter of law.

Second man involvement might save him.

Clegg · 22-03-2019 08:51PM

Lifted above the horizontal, let go in the air and landed on the side of his head.

razorblunt · 22-03-2019 08:52PM

Locked like a throw but there’s no care. Yellow.

Squidgy Black · 22-03-2019 08:52PM

Noel Reid absolutely flung like a rag doll into the air there.

Larbre34 · 22-03-2019 08:52PM

Red all day.

22-03-2019 08:52PM

I was about to say Reid was milking that but actually he was dropped on his head. Yellow coming up, quite possibly red.

thegreycity · 22-03-2019 08:52PM

Lands on his shoulder and head, I'd call it a red.

Burkie1203 · 22-03-2019 08:52PM

Red card all day long

razorblunt · 22-03-2019 08:52PM

What was the TJ doing, he didn’t react at all.

22-03-2019 08:53PM

Tomane is a bit of a brute. Tackling props and winning gainline in defence. Looks fit, aware and plenty of power on display.

Buer · 22-03-2019 08:53PM

They were looking for an out there. His shoulder made contact but his head bounced off the deck.

Squidgy Black · 22-03-2019 08:54PM

This is a perfect example of why the trial for the in-game citing commissioner is being brought in. By the rules that's a red.

Clegg · 22-03-2019 08:54PM

Is that not a deliberate knock on?

Squidgy Black · 22-03-2019 08:56PM

One hand, wasn't close to controlling that for an intercept.....

Clegg · 22-03-2019 08:56PM

This is a fabulous start from Leinster.
