    Fauuamina leading with elbow a lot

    Odds on a yellow for it? He'll get caught for it if he keeps it up.

    Ramos played that on the ground off his feet, no?

    Toulouse are brain dead at the moment. So many unforced errors and then that hand at the ruck.

    Keep it coming lads :)

    Feels so good to see the Leinster we're used to back dominating.

    They're under huge pressure.

    Entire Leinster pack playing well. Henshaw, Sexton, Lowe, Ringrose and McGrath adding a lot of additional physicality, energy and work to the breakdown and contact zone and Toulouse just can't deal with it.

    Some key decision makers for Toulouse getting things badly wrong. Game almost away from them.

    Was Henshaw not tackled without the ball there?

    How is that even a penalty? He's totally in a position to intercept that pass.

    That ball was fair game IMO.

    Bit moronic from the Toulous staff, bringing the tee on the field.

    Toulouse made a balls of that, tee came on the pitch before decision was made

    Barnes is harsher than a Siberian winter this match. Both sides have had some really severe calls.

    Henshaw didn’t look like he thought it was fair game.

    Watch rugby much?
    Went for it with one hand and didn't come close to catching it. Penalty all day, yellow for being so close to the line.

    He timed it pretty well actually, probably just on

    True, I think he saw Barnes immediately reach for the card and knew better than to argue. It was more of a loose ball than a pass though, hard to resist attempting to play it.

    And from the replay that was a certain try if Faumuina caught it, no one was gonna stop him that close to the line. Could have been a penalty try if Barnes went to the TMO about it.

    The Toulouse tackling is ferocious but it'd be hard to imagine them being able to keep it up for the 80.

    Plenty thanks, no need for the patronising comment. Seen plenty of interceptions where it's a single hand that hits the ball first. He doesn't get tackled and he could have collected it, I thought.

    Strange game.

    Leinster in control, but you still feel like Toulouse can turn it almost instantly.

    Fairly blatant penalty and clear yellow card in the end

    One of the factors refs used to look at when deciding a deliberate knock on was whether the ball was slapped down, Henshaw clearly got his hand under the ball and almost managed to get it back on Leinsters side.
