One handed lineout take from Molony was pure filth

Bogwoppit · 24-03-2023 10:12PM

Stormers carried that back over the line yes? 5m scrum Leinster?

Clegg · 24-03-2023 10:13PM

Harry has played well tonight but his kicking has been off.

I worry that that pen is a mistake.

SaoPaulo41 · 24-03-2023 10:13PM

Ahhhh bloody wind

A-Train · 24-03-2023 10:13PM

That was a tough kick even before he kicked it. Hard luck

Exclamation Marc · 24-03-2023 10:15PM

The decision to crossfield kick there with a scrum advantage was absolutely braindead with that wind.

Think they thought they had pen advantage

Clegg · 24-03-2023 10:15PM

No advantage to Leinster.

Penalty to Stormers.

Yeah you're right, can be the only rationale for it.

leakyboots · 24-03-2023 10:16PM

Shouldn't have called advantage to begin with

Juventu4 · 24-03-2023 10:17PM

I know it's hindsight but with Harry's kicking of the tee today should have kicked to the corner we have them on the ropes and getting a lot of change of the maul.

SaoPaulo41 · 24-03-2023 10:17PM

All in all, considering the players missing , the opposition, the conditions, HT score ,I think this is a very very good result ,which I would of taken before game.

A-Train · 24-03-2023 10:18PM

Very happy with that result especially after the first 20 mins. Terrible conditions and left a few kicks out there.

Clegg · 24-03-2023 10:18PM

Brilliant performance from Leinster. That has guaranteed we finish top of the league table.

Exclamation Marc · 24-03-2023 10:19PM

Great result. Top spot secured.

Quin_Dub · 24-03-2023 10:19PM

The BP with the draw locks in 1st place.

Can't be caught now

Great result in the end.

bingobango12 · 24-03-2023 10:19PM

Entertaining game and top spot guaranteed. Great comeback.

24-03-2023 10:21PM

Missing 23 players, conditions awful, they’ve a team littered with Springboks, we’ll take that. feels a bit of a shame as the win was there for us, but it’ll do.

Penny was immense again, and fully deserved MotM. Ross Molony had a huge game, and Michael Milne showed exactly why he was called into the wider Ireland squad during the 6N.

Rob Russell had a few huge moments in that second half in particular.

Exclamation Marc · 24-03-2023 10:25PM

Very hard to judge Harry in that game, some brilliant 50/22s, some terrible grubbers, and only 1/5 off the tee (albeit weather playing a part). Do we think the Frawley at 10 experiment over? I'd hate to see Frawley become a jack of all trades and master of none.

Larbre34 · 24-03-2023 10:25PM

Harry Byrne played a good game. That wind was just below gale force and all over the shop, he did very well and not many could nail touchline conversions in the conditions.

24-03-2023 10:30PM

Yeah I really don’t think it’s fair to draw any conclusions on his placekicking based on conditions tonight.

He’d a solid game to me. Attacked the line really well, and kicked us into territory in the second half well.

I always felt that 12 could be Frawley's best position. I'm sure he can cover 10 and 15 to a degree so he may find himself in a utility role at times.

Frawley might have been very unfortunate to miss so much time this season (with Henshaw and Ngatai injured). For one thing it led to Osbourne being seen as a center more and more.

Juventu4 · 24-03-2023 10:34PM

Great result and probably should gave nicked it in the end. Really impressed by Milne, held up the scrum really well and we all know how good his carrying is. His stock is rising fast.

sydthebeat · 24-03-2023 10:38PM

That was a great game

Clegg · 24-03-2023 10:53PM

Penny was excellent again tonight and was deserving of his MotM award. He got so much undeserved stick after his call up to the Ireland squad ahead of Hodnett that some wanted to believe he wasn't deserving of it. He's brilliant.

12 Frawley

13 Osbourne

Pretty tasty combo imo

The BP doesn’t matter though, the draw is enough to secure it. 74-61, whether 12 or 13 ahead it would still be an unassailable lead with 2 rounds left.

The really frustrating thing for me, was that he seemed to learn nothing from the warm up. He took three kicks from the 5 metre line on the 22 in the warm up and pulled them all inside the near post. Took the exact same kick for the third try and did the exact same thing. Frawley took one kick from the same position in the warm up. Aimed for the far post and nailed it.

Good kick. Caught & went to knees before tackle. Tackled while on the ground. Penalty to Leinster .... oh wait ...

Where is the penalty in that?
