    Van Der Flier. So underrated.

    Not by La Rochelle, if reports of their extensive press coverage on him are to be believed.

    There’s that average poacher VDF again.

    Unless I missed a pundit saying something stupid in the build up, I don't think anybody has called JVDF average in any respect.

    Mmm....2 weren't taken cleanly

    Yes correct, but its a transparent enough tactic. Once we have it covered at second bite I don't think it will be a big disruptor.

    Lukes pass there on the 1st phase was a real shame.

    Thought Lleyds was taken in the air by Lowe, penalty only but would have alleviated the pressure on La Rochelle.

    Jaysus we played an awful lot on our own 22 there. Thought La Rochelle had a successful poach but there was an excellent last moment clean out.

    If la rochelle could just stop giving pens and frees away, leinster would be in trouble.

    Ringrose did brilliantly there after a great press from La Rochelle. Penalty county beginning to hurt them.

    Haha, yeah, Laurence, it's the refs responsibility to prevent La Rochelle giving away penalties by talking to them in French. I've heard it all now.

    So if Leinster would stop putting huge pressure on LAR and LAR stop making forced errors and conceding penalties and free kicks as a consequence, Leinster would be in trouble?

    Dallaglio raised a good point there that the communication is going one way to Leinster just now.
    He does seem to be very whistle happy just now.

    Actually for a long time he has been overlooked by many on here. His poaching and carrying in particular.

    As much as I love Dev, he's just way too lanky to even attempt to be the first clearout

    Skelton in from the side right in front of the ref lying horizontally across the ruck.

    This is the La Rochelle we were worrying about

    Two rucks in a row, and tighty before that penalty. Poor call

    Larmour has tackled Vito three times in this game. Tbh all three he's greatly outperformed my expectations.
