    Referee: Craig Evans (WRU) (ugh)
    Assistants: Robert O'Sullivan (IRFU), Chris Busby (IRFU)

    Great to see Leavy back on the bench (23, odd) and Hawkshaw also returning from injury. Mick Kearney and Ian Nagle too return to the RDS for Zebre.

    Anyone care to educate me on what Liam Turner is like?

    Turner is a short stocky outside centre. Played 7s last season.

    You couldn't ask for a better opportunity to throw some new names in. Fantastic to see Leavy back. There's a long window of Pro14 games to rotate him in and out.

    So Leavy has been bionically reconstructed as a winger? You love to see it.

    An educated left boot from JOB. Two cracking touch finders.

    Not clear enough but if they catch it, this is red.

    Penalty only problem the right call.

    Good finish from Dave Kearney though.

    Should a Leinster player have been penalised for grabbing scrum cap of Zebre player? (Not a rugby follower)

    Nothing deliberate - but any contact in that area has potential to do damage...

    Didn't see the match thread earlier.

    Ruddock's been the stand out player. Ploughing into every contact. Thought he was excellent in our last game too.

    Excellent defence from Leinster. The rush pushed Zebre back 20 metres and forced them to kick. Great turnover from Penney then.

    Ruddock, JOB, Sheehan and Luke some clear standouts for me.

    What's the point of a match thread? Nothing wrong with the normal thread. Seems a bit attention seeking if you ask me.

    Zebre have been utter dirt. The space and gaps in their defence are ridiculous. The Kearney and TOB tries were AIL level at best by Zebre. No team should have such wide gaps at pro level.

    Good finishes but very simple reverse of play on both occasions into massive holes off first or second phase. A defence shouldn't be that out of shape so quickly.

    This is what I much prefer to see Leinster put out the youngsters and fringe guys for these games. What's the benefit in putting out a stronger team here? Senior guys would get the job done whilst minding themselves.

    Whilst praising the young guns of Leinster don't forget the effort and experience of Ruddock and Toner.
    Ruddock especially has been very very good.
