That was such a lazy and terrible tackle it deserved a yellow.

So it's not just jack prone to the odd lapse and out on the full.....

Great start from us but Leinster will surely improve as the half goes on

Doesn't look like it. Their heads are completely gone. Looks like they're in shock from last week still. Totally off the pace. Never seen as slow and disconnected a defensive line from Leinster from the opening minute.

Blade is playing himself into Ireland territory here so far surely!

testtech05 · 08-05-2021 07:53PM

That was extremely soft, gives them such an easy shot in the arm after such an awful start

Bazzo · 08-05-2021 07:53PM

And there's the unbelievably cheap score we all knew was coming

ClanofLams · 08-05-2021 07:54PM

Think it has gotten better recently but that still happens too often on Connacht restarts

theVersatile · 08-05-2021 07:57PM

That was a softer penalty switch than Cloete yesterday

Bazzo · 08-05-2021 07:57PM

Jesus that is unbelievably soft...

Buer · 08-05-2021 07:57PM

Incredibly harsh penalty on Murray.

testtech05 · 08-05-2021 07:57PM

What a ridiculous call against Murray

Frank Murphy taketh away once again

In fairness it was Brace who called it but either way ridiculous

Touch judge called it

Ridiculous call. Doesn't excuse the(again) cheap cheap score that follows.

Utopia Parkway · 08-05-2021 07:58PM

That was a cheap pen on Murray. McGrath actually punched the ball out of his hands first. Then Murray kicked it when it fell.

its_phil · 08-05-2021 07:59PM

What the hell was that penalty for? Murphy is getting worse by the game.

sydthebeat · 08-05-2021 07:59PM

Frank Murphy has a horrible manner for a ref... Even worse than lacey

08-05-2021 08:00PM

Commentators saying this was a response from Leinster. Nonsense, a complete non penalty has been capitalised on but the penalty itself was ridiculous and on no level a penalty. Terrible refereeing.

Jesus this is the worst 8 minutes I’ve seen from a visiting team in a long time

And the worst 10 minutes from a home team

testtech05 · 08-05-2021 08:01PM

Our maul defence is still like wet paper anyway

08-05-2021 08:01PM

Talk about getting back into a game when doing nothing.

Terrible either way with the decision. It didnt give them 3 tries.

testtech05 · 08-05-2021 08:04PM

That was never forward

its_phil · 08-05-2021 08:04PM

That was a bad pass but there was no knock on

theVersatile · 08-05-2021 08:05PM

Poor one from Blade - not quite sure it was a knock on though

realhorrorshow · 08-05-2021 08:05PM

He's a legend obviously but Denis Buckley has had a really poor season.

Mail defence is embarrassing, new forwards coach can't come fast enough.

Bazzo · 08-05-2021 08:05PM

Unloading a submachine gun into their own feet as usual here

Seems I jinxed him..... Apologies all

thomond2006 · 08-05-2021 08:06PM

Oh, Connacht.

Utopia Parkway · 08-05-2021 08:07PM

Nothing new but lineout maul defence really is almost comically bad.

Can’t remember seeing a professional side having such an obvious glaring weakness for an entire season.

testtech05 · 08-05-2021 08:08PM

Defense has been an absolute shambles.

On first view a wasted challenge too.

its_phil · 08-05-2021 08:08PM

Maul and defence...but what was Oliver doing for that penalty

08-05-2021 08:08PM

Who would have thought at 16-0 youd feel like turning the game off before the half hour mark... Christ.
