    In fairness Edinburgh threw the towel in. How many of their full team were missing?

    Does anyone think Madigan could be vying with Sexton for the Ireland jersey let alone Leinster one next year?

    Was that Toner being tackled there on the 22 then reaching out and placing the ball over the try line?....

    Clearly it was the 10 metre line! :p

    Don't expect us to barge over Clermont. Going to be physical and much more demanding than tonights run around.

    Madigan has to be on the flight to New Zealand. Of course knowing Deccie.....

    They had more or less full strength team. Remember Scotland threw in the towel as well and Ireland huffed and puffed all the way home.

    Difference with Leinster is when a team gives in they kill they with tries, Ireland usually back off.....in terms of table they are +100 points over there nearest rival....

    With Kidney team selection we will have Sexton at 12, Madigan at 13 and ROG at 10:eek:

    If his precious Muarry* got injured he would probably try Madigan at 9.

    *nothing against Murray but I don't think he is ready yet, Reddan is the better 9 atm.

    To be fair Leinster are playing some really crap teams who are beaten before they get on to the pitch. They do play some lovely rugby but when they come up against a side who will compete savagely at the breakdown they are vulnerable to turnovers and conceding penalties. They do play great rugby though and only for them the Pro12 would be crap to watch.

    Just back from the match.

    All I can say is that was fcuking outrageous.
    Cross field kicks in our 22, running it from our own try line. Eight different try scorers. Scrum dominance. It was unreal.

    Moore coming on for White and Boss of for reddan.

    Reddan actually came on for Darcy who looked to go off injured. Boss moved to centre for the rest of the game.

    While it was great to get such a big win I wouldn't be getting too carried away with it. Edinburgh are still 11th in the league and came here without a few of their better players.

    Home Semi guaranteed though which is great.

    Don't think anyone is getting carried away. Think everyone is on a high after watching some cracking rugby and after Feb and March it certainly is a welcome sight.

    Leinster are a delight to behold at present.Comparing them to some of the dull dross we have seen in the Pro 12 just shows how attractive rugby can be when it is played at pace and with panache.

    Great game to watch, Edinburgh were very poor and Leinster took full advantage. Fitzgibbon was also very lenient at the breakdown, I thought he should have penalised Carr and a couple of other Leinster players for not releasing when Embra players had hands on ball, but it didn't affect the overall result. Nice line from Cronin for his try.

    Also, LOL at Toner scoring a try while sitting on his ass! :D

    Not until his place kicking improves.

    It's always infuriating talking about rugby with my die hard Munster father. Told him Madigan should go to NZ and he said no, he can't kick.

    What pleased me most was Mc Grath and Moore doing well in the scrum.

    We may not be completely screwed when Ross retires.
