    If anyone's got an illegal stream of the build-up, do not pm it to me as that would be against the law

    Leinster need to keep the scoreboard ticking over and stay ahead of Saracens.
    If Saracens start well and get ahead I can see them winning the match.

    Leinster by a score.

    As important as it is to shut down Billy Vunipola, Leinster will hopefully turn the screw by bringing in VDF in the final quarter to get at Goode/Manu Vunipola.

    The disparity in benches isn't nearly as stark as some might believe though. There's no discernible advantage to be had for Byrne, Bent, JGP or ROL. Baird is good but this is a huge step up for him too and we've no idea if the pressure might tell when he's introduced.

    High tempo has to be the way to go for Leinster if possible. There's a lot of experience in the Saracens team but also a lot of miles on the clock in that back line.

    This is potentially the last game of professional rugby Barritt and Wigglesworth ever play. For that reason alone, this Saracens team is going to be at an emotional pitch that Leinster have not encountered in 16 months. I expect Saracens to absolutely tear into Leinster from the start.

    It's how Leinster absorb that ferocity will be the winning and losing of this. They should have enough experience to know what is coming and have a plan for responding.

    If Leinster don't win South Dublin will be put into a Level 5 lockdown.....of shame!

    Yeah I've only got my phone access and I'd hate for someone to pm me with a stream for this.

    Dont see highlights programmed on tv for later. Maybe I missed?

    Leinster by 15-20.

    I like it!
    Leinster should fillet this Saracens Light
    Goode at 10 is desperate stuff.
    Must be one of the oldest back lines In Europe. Wigglesworth is 37 now!
    Pity it’s not on real telly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Please let Leinster hammer the ****e out of the cheating *****.

    Doesn't seem to be any.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭All_in_Flynn


    If there is a rugby god we will put 50 on these and RK will ping Farrell in the nose on the sidelines.

    I’d be a lot more confident if Dave Kearney and Furlong were fit for this.

    Goode started 10 for them in their last European QF. He's a top class full back but a very solid outhalf.

    In an online Zoom call for college so missing the game. See you on the other side, lads.

    Fake crowd noise is stupid


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Very harsh penalty. Ball was completely clear and available. Porter was not in the way and had rolled to the side.


  • Registered Users Posts: 855 ✭✭✭foxyladyxx


    Who knocked on from Leinster?

    9 can get the ball easily, probably would've disrupted more had he tried to move out :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭This is it


    Great work Porter


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,145 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    If that's the standard for not rolling away there will be a lot of penalties today.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,617 ✭✭✭lawrencesummers


    Very poor crowd in attendance for what is supposedly a very well supported club.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,279 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Good to level the scores straight away.

    Rumour has it they couldn't even give the tickets away.

    Looks like a strong wind in the stadium


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,279 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Another penalty.
    Referee taking no **** at the breakdown


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,172 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Jesus that is soft against Sexton.

    That penalty is nonsense


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭This is it


    Need to adapt to how strict the ref is. He won't change so we need to


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,546 ✭✭✭✭AbusesToilets


    What was that? Sexton was anywhere near the ball, Vunipola was able to place immediately


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,914 ✭✭✭KH25


    He released after he was told to, yet Gauzère pinged him anyway. Nonsense.

    The dubs are doing what Kerry fans have been doing for years, waiting for the final.


    And rightly so.

    Shocking from McGrath and dense from Larmour.

    Absolutely. Need to expose Sarries to him as well

    Holy shít what on earth was McGrath thinking

    That was very poor.
    Saracens killing Leinster yet again at the breakdown and in the defensive line.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Worst 11 minutes of Leinster in some time

    Conan I think.

    Brutal pass. Could do with slowing the tempo a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    It was talked about how Leinster would need to adapt to this ref. They’ll need to do it quickly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,721 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    Everything just looks... sluggish. You can tell Sarries have the momentum and more game time behind them since the restart of the season


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭This is it


    Consistently strict at least...

    2 of the softest penalties you'll see at the breakdown have hurt us so far.

    Gauzere is consistent at least


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,172 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Pinging very quickly.
