Yep. Miserable weather conditions, rain was hammering down and there seemed to be a strong wind, pitch was fairly churned up too as a result. Real slog of a game.

I have BBC sport with auto updates which flashes up on screen

I kept checking if it was broken because nothing coming through

I missed it too and I had to double take when I saw the final score. I don't think I've seen that scoreline before.

I imagine there's some poor video editor at Premier Sports now wondering what to put in the highlights. I might watch it just for that.

Take the win and move on. Every team has one of them.

EDIT: Zebre played well. Just goes to show the impact Conor O’Shea has had on rugby in Italy to see them and Benneton being competitive.

Christ, that's 80 mins of my life I'm never getting back. Grim.

The Iron Giant

Well that was a grind of a game.

Good win all things considered.

Deegan subbed off after 50. On Doris's first touch he breaks the line and gets 10 metres in.

Reckon Doris is going to be the better player

At some point Zebre just need to try for the drop goal. Ball's going absolutely nowhere otherwise, and they turned down a fairly kickable penalty around the 60 minute mark.

It must be relatively windy there too. That’s the only reason I can think for that.

Ross Byrne fails to find touch from a pen. Gets lucky as Zebre slice a kick into touch. Then Byrne throws crooked into the lineout.

I thought the crooked throw was a harsh enough call tbh

TMO replaying the wrong tackle there no?

Dave_The_Sheep

Zebre are smashing Leinster any time we try keep the ball.

Squidgy Black

Big mistake by JGP there with that kick

KaneToad

Leinster are in danger of losing this game. They are not really getting anywhere and Zebre must now fancy their chances.

Flat enough performance, not what this team need with the internationals coming back in. They looked excellent the first three weeks

Hugo Keenan the pick of the bunch here at the moment. Playing very well so far this season.

Leinster with a five metre lineout on close to Zebres line. Fail to win lineout. Zebre break, Leinster concede a pen and now it's a Zebre lineout in leinsters 22.

sydthebeat

Best part of this game has been the music on the down time.

Zebre could easily have had at least two tries in that half, but I expect leinster to choke the life out of them in this half

WoollyRedHat

Typical. Would it be so hard to have a notification at top of page saying 'All games listed are in local tine' or beside relevant away game saying 'Local Time'.

The Iron Giant

Very tight first half. Weather and pitch are appalling.

A few good opportunities for both teams to dot down but good defence or poor attacking decisions have it nearly locked.

Is Conor O'Brien injured or just not being picked. Didn't notice him in the injury update this week and haven't seen him much this year outside a brief cameo against Ospreys and that Canada game.

The website displays local time kick off I think. It's the same for the Six Nations site. I've gotten kick off times for France games wrong in the past because of that.

They do that occasionally. It’s bloody annoying. It’s like someone forgets to switch over from extra
