Leinster Team Talk Thread (Love you Furlong time)

Nothing in that.

The best thing you can say about Northampton is that they're only down by 12. Woeful handling all game - Mitchell is useless against any kind of structured defence

Leinsters defence has been phenomenal. They've shut down so many Northampton attacks and it was only in the final 5 minutes of the half that the opposition started coming into the game.

Conversely our attack hasn't been great. Lots of one out passes that were met on the gain line. Would have been great to score that try right on 40 minutes, but again we got too bunched up and narrow. Only option was to stay tight and we eventually knocked on.

that ruck hit was just in front of me and it didn’t look like there was anything in to be honest, his hand did come through and knock the ball on however.

We should probably be further ahead considering how much territory we've had. I'm worried about Northampton's ability to find the edge quickly. They've shown they can do it a few times and if they cut out the handling errors they can score trys.

But we've had the majority of the ball and if we stop making mistakes of our own we should win. Saw a fair few Northampton forwards blowing hard during that half. Given them a proper workout.

If that try stands Ryan Baird is a monster.

No no, I've a better one:

That's the hammer bLowe…

Not the first time today Porter has been rewarded for nosediving in the scrum. I imagine Toulouse will have a comprehensive video package at the ready
