Healy has been terrible.

AbusesToilets · 19-12-2015 07:53PM

Lovely maul from Toulon. Remember when Irish teams could do that...

Gaygooner · 19-12-2015 07:54PM

Toulon in control

Korat · 19-12-2015 07:55PM

Game over now

corny · 19-12-2015 07:55PM

Wouldn't blame fatigue.

Hagz · 19-12-2015 07:55PM

Madigan's passing has just gone to absolute pieces this year. I really don't see how he's interesting Bordeaux.

garhjw · 19-12-2015 07:56PM

What do they do in training? This is amateur

Dave_The_Sheep · 19-12-2015 07:56PM

Why would you let that ball bounce? Looked like Isa was able to get to if he really went for it.

This is going to be just like last week's second half. Just ground down.

matthew8 · 19-12-2015 07:58PM

The ball has barely spent a minute in Toulon's half in the second half.

ThisRegard · 19-12-2015 07:58PM

Armitage came away from that too early, a bit more patience and they would have been over again.

Hagz · 19-12-2015 07:59PM

This has been a heroic performance from Leinster. I would never have expected them to be just 1 point adrift against Toulon with 10 mins to go. When you consider that all they had to play for was pride, the effort they gave was monumental. Good sign of things to come this season.

Still can't understand Barnes not seeing the binding on healys shoulder/arm. From 3 yards ffs.

Teams under pressure usually concede more penalties. I wouldn't blame Barnes for Leinster conceding more in this half. Toulon have really ramped it up.

1 to 8 toulon are stronger.

AbusesToilets · 19-12-2015 08:00PM

About time Moore won something at the scrum, he's been dominant all day.

Too busy missing forward passes to do that.

corny · 19-12-2015 08:03PM

Commentators won't shut up about power and fatigue but really its just a dominant set piece and good, accurate execution making the difference.

Maybe in the first half, not so much the second.

Gaygooner · 19-12-2015 08:04PM

Good night and goodbye

degsie · 19-12-2015 08:04PM

Ho hum. Same old story.

AbusesToilets · 19-12-2015 08:05PM

Really hope Leinster can sort out their attacking structure this season. Try rate has been abysmal this year.

Dave_The_Sheep · 19-12-2015 08:07PM

And now for the bonus point try.

matthew8 · 19-12-2015 08:07PM

Every single lineout is a Toulon penalty, and every single one of them a correct call. Absolutely dreadful.

hmmmmm

matthew8 · 19-12-2015 08:08PM

Every single lineout the same failed tactic to stop the maul. Would we not try standing off it at least once or something.

AbusesToilets · 19-12-2015 08:09PM

inevitable

corny · 19-12-2015 08:09PM

Toulon are showing how poorly drilled we are.

Corpus Twisty · 19-12-2015 08:09PM

I mentioned on another forum that I was staying at the same hotel as the Toulon team and they were all there in the lobby lounging before the match...looking relaxed, focused and feckin big....serious power perched there on the couches. I didn't fancy leinsters chances much tbh..

aimee1 · 19-12-2015 08:09PM

thats bull****. toulon did that and he gave a pen try and there was no card.

aimee1 · 19-12-2015 08:11PM

knock on

corny · 19-12-2015 08:11PM

Did well Barnes. Would have been easy to miss that.
