    Relax lads, remember 2011.

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

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

    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.

    3rd penalty to touch and lineout will be stolen

    Bad to worse.

    Nothing is functioning on the Leinster side.

    That line speed is called being offside

    The headwinds pretty strong

    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.

    But importantly it's not being called offside

    Scrum is so bad, have never seen any team being this consistently bad on the scrum

    That must be the 7th penalty already. Beaten up in exactly the same way as last year. Nothing learned.

    Would love an overhead view of these scrums, looked like the Sarries loosehead was boring in at the put in on that last one.

    Castres have defaulted their match tomorrow due to Covid 19 positive tests in their squad, Leicester progress to the semi final.

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

    A potential 6 point swing.
