Two 20 year old props on the bench.

Because I clearly have too much time on my hands in work...

100 Caps for Conan tonight, and less than the normal Byrne quotient for Leinster tonight.

I wonder where the whinging about Irish officials during Irish games will be during this match.

[edit] And someone already has a match thread up. Well, at least I got paid to do this...

Dave_The_Sheep · 19-02-2021 03:19PM

Well, ****.

molloyjh · 19-02-2021 03:21PM

We really are stretched thin in a few positions at the moment....Still looking forward to this though. Its a very good pack we have out.

Serious amount of procrastination going on, it is Friday after all.

Fairbrother is some unit, like a square with legs

crisco10 · 19-02-2021 08:40PM

2 penalties and a knock on. Josh Murphy had had better starts to a game.

That pitch looks manky

Good run. Pity about the handling mistakes. Pitch looks to be worse than usual!!

Squidgy Black · 19-02-2021 08:45PM

Not sure how that's deemed as kicked under pressure but Ross got a bit lucky there.

Squidgy Black · 19-02-2021 08:46PM

They really need to pull the trigger and get the pitch replaced, they keep kicking it down the line but it's woeful.

Did the commentator say its a plastic pitch how the hell is it that bad?

degsie · 19-02-2021 08:46PM

Kicker was under pressure? Its flippin rugby!

Tongue in cheek I think because they've been saying they're putting in a plastic pitch for the last couple of years

Clegg · 19-02-2021 08:47PM

Very smart from Kearney to let that bounce and go down.

Yeah, seemed very home town

Former Former Former · 19-02-2021 08:47PM

Between the state of the pitch and the tiny in goal area, that's a ridiculous venue

Is there any excuse these days for a supposedly professional team to have such a crap pitch?

Levels the playing field?

randomname2005 · 19-02-2021 08:51PM

Too many penalties this early

19-02-2021 08:51PM

That was no penalty against Moloney.

Excellent offload in contact from Penney too.

Whitehouse should be wearing No 16 Dragons

Ah it definitely was Venjur he rolled back across the ruck into the 9 instead of trying to roll out, it always gets called

sydthebeat · 19-02-2021 08:52PM

Great clearance by davies

19-02-2021 08:53PM

I don’t like complaining about the ref but Whitehouse has let Dragons off a few times already, including a clear forward pass followed by a clear knock on within a phase or two of eachother.

Squidgy Black · 19-02-2021 08:54PM

There must be some wind, Dragons are getting serious miles out of their clearance kicks
