    We are not near the Saracen's standard. We never were.

    Ah that's a bit much now. We're not even half an hour in and it's just been penalties so far.

    They're getting penalties in every play, inching the score out bit by bit, 12 points up now. Leinster in serious trouble here

    Surely there must be boring in there, Saracens 6 perpendicular to the scrum

    Starting Cronin in this game has been a huge mistake.
    He has barely played a game.

    Missing Furlong presence. Would love a firing Fardy and a vintage Rob Kearney too.

    Lads Leinster aren't even in trouble. This game is actually over. No chance they turn over a 12 point defect. Would require two converted scores

    We knew they’d be so physical. Surely they had a plan to combat this. So hard watch.

    Genuinely can't remember the last time our scrum was absolutely decimated like it has been so far.

    Does nobody remember the Northampton game? 12 points isn't that big a gap.
    Need to get the finger out though.

    Relax lads, remember 2011.

    12 points in 50 minutes is very achievable. We're getting a try now in a sec, no panic.

    That was a different sort of game. Leinster were playing well but the last last wasn't sticking that first half. Saracens scrum, defence and field positioning is utterly dominant. Leinster haven't had a sniff.

    Leinster are unpowered when up against big packs with the line speed of Saracens.
    This reminds me of New Zealand Vs England in the quarter final of the world cup.

    3 penalties in a row in two minutes 5 meters from the line.
    Keep the pressure on, we might get a yellow out of this.

    That line speed is called being offside

    No return from that decision.
    Half time and playing with wind can’t come fast enough.

    Leinster not getting the key calls here at all.

    Sarries look a little bit out on their feet though.

    That decision to turn down 3 and go to the corner might result in penalty - penalty - score for Sarries.

    A potential 6 point swing.
