    Excellent defence.

    Leinster needed to come away without conceding a try there.

    Northampton not taking 3 points was foolish

    Brilliant defense. That was as good as a try.

    Dear lord the Sky cheerleading for Saints is starting to grate my nerves!!

    Same, it's not so much commentating as being total fanboys. Hate watching Irish teams play English ones for that reason, the slurping is ridiculous. Case in point: describing Northampton losing possession immediately at the start of the match as a "good start" because of the way they contested the kick.

    Great defensive sequence there.

    That's huge, keeping them out there.

    be great if we could get a try before ht...might break them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear

    It's an English channel with English commentators, understandable that there's Northampton cheer leading.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear

    It's totally understandable, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.

    Both teams looking totally different to last week.

    Not having SOB is a big loss for this type of game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 881 ✭✭✭ray jay


    Conditions are totally different too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,299 ✭✭✭spiralism


    Complacency from last week has been a bad enemy today


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,997 ✭✭✭Grimebox


    3-7 isn't bad considering everything is going wrong for Leinster

    Agreed need him to add a bit of cut. They will wear Northampton down though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 324 ✭✭Coburger


    A few Leinster players really need to stand up

    the amount of scrums is riDiculous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Keeping them to 7 at the break is looking key here

    I have confidence in Leinster.

    Myler's no ROG for the crossfield kicks :P

    Need to be able to string a few passes together to be able to do that. Incredibly sloppy muck. Everyone knows this is how English teams win, by feeding on mistakes rather than much in the way of great play.

    NH are far superior on the gainline. Leinster are being overpowered, but they are still in touch going into the second half.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    let off. undeserved


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,973 ✭✭✭19543261


    Ehehehe...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭.ak


    Wish we'd stop throwing to out to the wings. We're destroying them in midfield with jamie and Rhys. Hope MOC spots that

    You have to hand it to Northampton, much more aggressive compared to last week, Leinster making it easy in places though.
