    WTF? google says it's 21-11?

    Don't have a feed, this is terrible..

    Edinburgh are in the last 8 of Europe and have a decent enough team out.

    Leinster are very much second string, I was expecting a beating.

    Still we showed good accuracy and hunger early on, think we could do with the bench now.

    No arms in front of the ref. Silly stuff.

    We've had no possession or territory this half. That's partly down to Whitehouse's awful calls, but our own discipline is dire.

    Yeah tbf, he's blowing us off the park but a fair bit of the time we've given Whitehouse a chance to give the pen.

    True but seems very much a homer ref here.

    Tomane has constantly stood on the fringes pointing and trying his best to avoid having to tackle. He's absolutely shocking in the area. He looks terrified that someone will run at him

    Can't even retain position from our own set piece.

    approx 30 phases and never got a sniff of a turnover. Not like Leinister.

    Rubbish. He's put in some big hits today, especially in the first half.

    I'm sick of the scapegoating of Tomane.

    Why would they even try, the ref will just give another yellow card.

    Do we have anyone else that can throw into a lineout?

    He had no interest in tackling the
    Mata there.

    But of ball in last 5 but 2 fudged lineout and tomane knockon not helping.

    Bull. His poor tackling technique has cost us 2 tries. He's had a brutal game

    Had a very decent first half and a very sloppy second. He should have taken that pass but it was a poor pass from Frawley.

    The last 2 Leinster lineouts have been comical. Tomane is awful.

    Don’t think it was for him.

    We have been very, very poor in this second half.

    Ah come off it. An outside back trying to stop a prop and a No.8 on his own line did not cost us two tries. He wasn't even the tackler for Nel's try. Byrne and Bent screwed up there.

    There's something missing with Tomane, his head just not right. I know he's just returning from injury, but it always seems there's a reason.

    Well them hits definitely weren't around the fringes of rucks. In open play he might run hard and hit hard but close in defence is way below acceptable.

    The 2nd one maybe. The first was piss poor

    It was flung high at him. He got his hands up and could have taken it but unsympathetic would be an accurate description.

    Where Bent fell off and Byrne didn't make the tackle and Tomane was the third man?

    I just think he is a bit average.

    Threw a sloppy inside shoulder pass just there to obrien and obrien did well after having to check his stride

    What? The first one was Bent who just bounced off the carrier, Byrne went low and Tomane took him high. Absolutely nothing different he could do there against a forward.
