    Why come in here like this looking for a fight? The vast majority of people on this forum are reasonable regular folks who like chatting about the rugby. Why do you choose to act in such an unreasonable and antagonistic way?

    Turn it on me good tactic. I suppose it was all just a laugh and because there is more than one at it that it was ok because I’m out numbered.

    I for one am delighted he has shown his talent tonight and I don’t like people taking the gloss off that by making slights at him for whatever reason.

    No one's making slights on him, you're just misreading the comments. Everyone's happy to see his performance and are having a laugh about how good he is.

    Giving him a nickname such as Choo choo is not misreading the situation. It’s lowlife baiting at its worst.

    It's just a funny nickname because of the hype, it's not intended to be disparaging.

    Yes, but people might see it and something, something, disrespect.

    No, I haven't a clue either.

    Leinster score over 50. Buer and Venjur at their insufferable worst.

    I hate rugby.

    I wouldn’t be so sure. I don’t think I misread the situation. And I’m completely within my rights to point out any comments intending to to make a caricature of a splendid player.

    Haven't gotten to watch the game yet, downloading it shortly (hopefully).

    Feel sorry about the initial (at least in this thread) hype joke now.

    Wait no... Again, I don't.

    Gladly at the game so didn’t have to suffer that. I hope he’s in trouble though because second rows shouldn’t score hatricks. Even over a season.

    There was one in the terrace, very vocal, good to see.

    I may be drunk, in fact I know I am. But that was the best attacking performance by Leinster this season. Power, pace and aggression. Constantly attacking at pace and with aggression. I don’t think Glasgow were particularly poor, but we made them look that way. Everything Ireland need to do was on display tonight, now obviously it’s not the same intensity, but how we set up to attack tonight was incredible. Even Bent was hitting the line at full tilt.

    Jesus Granny.

    If you're gonna get offended by Baird and his nicknames please start with Toland.

    I can't for the life of me figure out how you read his name and get "Bard" from it

    Like it's got one syllable. How do you mispronounce words with one syllable?!

    He is 6'6. Quite clearly not standing up straight in that picture.

    When he and Fardy bind for a scrum they are of similar height.

    Great performance last night but we really need to talk about the utter lack of quality of most sides in the Pro14...
    We've played 8 home games in the Pro14 this season so far and in 5 of those games we've put 50 points or more on the opposition. I realise that this is a ridiculous complaint but it's often boring to watch a lot of these one sided games and there's no atmosphere in the ground when there's no real competition on thr pitch.
    I know that might read like the whining of an spoiled child but I'm not taking away from the brilliance of this Leinster setup; I'm just making the point that the Pro14 seems to be getting worse every year.

    Leinster are just much better coached than other teams in the pro 14..if we were back in the dark days of MOC I'm sure the pro 14 would look much better as we would be struggling.

    What a performance. Glasgow shot themselves in the foot repeatedly but what a way to punish them.

    Baird stood out but Fardy just exudes class in
    every facet of the game.

    Harry Byrne is going to overtake his brother son enough if he continues on his current trajectory. Tomane had a great game, as did Keenan.

    Dave Kearney is in the form of his life, another great display.

    21 wins in a row. That's incredible, even allowing for the crappy nature of a lot of the opposition.

    I'd love for us to win Europe this season with DK starting. He has been a fantastic servant through some difficult periods. I'm sure he had offers elsewhere and could have looked to reset his career elsewhere.

    His only involvement ever in a Champions Cup semi or final was 10 minutes from the bench against Ulster in Twickenham.

    Well, one of them is a balloon animal made of haemorrhoids and the other isn't so it's not a fair comparison.

    Jokes aside while it is easy to look good at home on a rampant Leinster team Bairdo still has to prove he has the bottle to perform in tough games. It’s early days but he is still yet to be proven worthy of being in the team as first choice. I would also have reservations about his height and whether he is tall enough to be a top level lock.

    if the Welsh teams weren't so poorly managed the league would be in much better shape. The WRU make the IRFU look like genius innovators by comparison.

    Jusy rewatched the match. What I'm annoyed about is Tolands coverage of the game. His incessant rehashing that Leinster hit the line with runners at pace. We all know that they do and Ireland don't but it was a tactic lifted from Michael's SCT this year who do so at great velocity in the 10/12 channels. Connors tried to replicate it but it has to be practiced over and over in training.

    It was in turn a tactic lifted by Michaels from Clermont Auvergne over the past 10 seasons - noone does it better than them and it is very effective at moving teams up the field. Also Tolands love of Connors is OTT. He's a good player but I feel like he is willing to hype him up over the course of the game so that he can give him MOTM when he he performs at a similar level to the other Leinster players. It's needless hype we could do less of and his commentary doesn't help.

    Ah Mr. Clegg showing your true colours. I thought it was coincidental that there was a Clegg key shop on Rathmines road and your name was Clegg. I'm now putting the pieces together.
