    Stuart Barnes is an arsehole. That pass from Healy would have been genius had it paid off.

    Leinster need to wake up, the last 15 minutes have been especially terrible.

    "Cullen does not add nearly as much positive any more". That's probably a better way of phrasing it.

    Clemont flanker interfering with Healys arm during the scrum?

    a stupid backhanded pass to no one in particular in your own half on the back foot?

    Get real, it was a stupid pass

    Sexton is having a shocker today! Most of the rest of the team are no better!

    These two penalties could be decisive. 6-6 would have been a great score for Leinster given how under the cosh they've been. 12-6 in such a tight game will be tough.

    Leinster have it all to do, lineouts, kicking game and scrum have all been below par.

    Leinster must get 1st score of 2nd half to keep in touch.

    He looks slow and laboured and could give away a penalty anytime he's involved.

    He doesn't add nothing but his time is nearly up at this level IMO.

    Reality starting to bite. Leinster are really missing McLaughlin

    Score beginning to reflect Clermont's superiority on the pitch.

    Clermont looking good for the win IMO. This feels like the Toulouse away game so far.

    I would bring on Reddan straight away.

    Healys arm was on the ground though, holding himself and the scrum up.

    Hand was on the ground as he had dropped the bind. I don't know if what the flanker did was legal, but Clermont deserved a penalty anyway.

    That's bread and butter stuff to Leinster and they had an overlap had it gone to hand. Like any ambitious move you look like a fool when it doesn't pay off but your a genius when it does.

    Reddan and McLaughlin on, somehow sort the setpiece.

    I thought he helped it get there.

    Bonnaire was lying all over the ball, then the ref gives a penalty against Leinster.
    Leinster need to get moving forward. Reddan to come on soon hopefully.

    I wouldn't panic yet Leinster fans

    Clermont will tire and the game loosing up will suit Leinster

    Sextons been poor with his kicking from hand, 2 pointless Garryowens and a missed penalty to touch

    Leinster are lucky to only be 6 points behind.

    Brock James is having a decent game with the boot but he is killing Clermont with his poor decision making.

    started watching and i couldn't believe my eyes, leinster are being picked apart
    they need to pull themselves together at scrum time and they have to tighten their defence and stop stupid unforced errors

    Leinster have to sort out their lineout. Thats the main concern.

    Sexton's kicking from hand has been shocking.

    Look on the bright side, they have alot of cards to play. I'd bring on McFadden because D'Arcy is not playing well.
