URC Week 6

Jack Boyle has started off like he has a point to prove. Huge tackle to stall a Dragons attack then wins a scrum penalty.

JJ Kenny with excellent rush defence to force a knock on. Second time this game a Leinster related has done it.

And leads to another Leinster scrum penalty.

Big lineout steal by Soroka on Leinster's 5m line.

Then he steals the very next lineout on Leinster's 22. Having a stormer.

Leinster have been brutal since the 10th minute. Wasted multiple great try scoring chances now we're about to get a man binned after multiple conceded penalties on our own line.

Discipline is dreadful. Giving Dragons easy yards by giving away so many penalties.

Gunne and Harry Byrne have been awful. Wed finally gained control of the ball again after a long time under defensive pressure. Instead of kicking for territory they stupidly decide to run it, we lose possession with a blocked down grubber and subsequently get anithwr yellow.

I'd sub both off at half time.

Leinster keep flinging the ball wide without any forward play to concentrate the defence. The defence is already set up out wide because they're spread across the pitch.

Need some basic forward play before going wide.

Not a good half as a team performance. But certain units and individuals are going well. The front row of Boyle, G McCarthy and Clarkson have been dominant in the scrum and won 4 penalties from it.

Soroka has scored a try, stolen two lineouts and been ultra physical in defence. He's stepping up for a Leinster at a time where we need blindsided to fill in for the injured Baird.
