    An awful lot of talent and experience in that Glasgow line up. Think a lbp would be a good return and whilst I'm expecting our first loss of the season, we'll get a LOT of development minutes for the back end of the squad in return.

    We've a very green back row going up against Harley and Wilson. Was very impressed by Connors his last run out so keen to see how he and Doris handle the pressure.

    Very much looking forward to this.

    Our best performances this season have come when the younger players were playing. I've no doubt they'll try their best again. But that Glasgow side is so strong and experienced in comparison. Can't see a losing bonus point coming from this one unfortunately.

    Lyon was our best performance. They are the strongest team we've played and they couldn't get over the try line at home against us.

    The wider depth of the squad has shown it can win arm wrestles and score tries from anywhere but this will be a different challenge. A win here would be great for Leinster but optically terrible for the league given the calibre of player out for Glasgow.

    In terms of control, grit and defensive effort the Lyon game was our best. But overall, I feel the performance against Connacht in Galway was our best. It was 70 minutes of dominance. It's why I'm not completely discounting a victory tonight. But I fully accept that contextually, tonight is our biggest challenge this season. We'll give it a go I'm sure. But it's going to be incredibly tough to get a point tonight.

    We physically outmatched Connacht but in my opinion they had one eye on the following week against Montpellier.

    Lyon was the truest test we've had this season and you generally don't win those games looking like the Globetrotters. That we accounted for them comfortably enough was a statement in and of itself.

    Slow burn stuff but I think we're brimming along nicely enough. Tonight should be entertaining at the least!

    Thought the bounce beat him before Keenan ever made contact.

    Not working in the stadium either I think. Pretty sure the ref said he couldn't see anything on the screen.

    If he wouldn't have got the ball, why the yellow??

    Not sure how it's a yellow if the TMO confirms the ball had already beaten Jones.

    Nightmare start for Keenan all the same after the dropped pass from the opening phase and now this.

    A Leinster player is out cold on the far side of the pitch.

    It's Josh Murphy.

    Don't think he's moved in two minutes.

    Matawalu looks like he's just stepped off the set of Mad Max 2.

    Looks like Tracy knocked him out with the Glasgow players leg when trying to clear out

    Nasty knock for Murphy. A Glasgow player was cleared out and his leg landed on Murphy's head.

    Glasgow fairly consistently offside down the line, touch judges need to be helping out the ref a bit more.

    Ross Byrne has the habit of putting in some extremely aimless kicks from his own territory. It's obviously a planned move to kick in that area but there's literally nothing gained from many of them as he finds an opponent in space with little chase.

    Incredible hit from Connors. Put Glasgow 5 metres behind the gain line.

    Ali Price was a mile offside for that turnover.

    Also replay of yellow card makes a mockery of the decision. Ball had clearly bounced under Jones and Keenan was committed to the tackle.
