Well, that's been hugely better than expected. Still getting turned over too much, but otherwise a very good performance from the whole team. Great to see us showing real aggression, and taking the game to them so well. Forwards putting in a great shift, and all still to play for.

Back row yet again playing really well. DuPreez has been huge in defence.

We need to switch on a bit more at the rucks they have come through the middle of a couple.

Mckenzie leading well, tovey showing surprising pace.

Good first half and with a relatively strong bench if we keep the intensity who knows.

...Sexton really is a prat...grabs SHC round the throat and tries to plead the innocent.

Leinster, especially Toner, have a lot to say to the ref. :roll:

Sexton for such a talented player really is a moany wee SteveWalsh.

We are getting nothing from the ref this half.

If Edinburgh stick this out whilst down to 14 men they could take this....knowing that they withstood the mighty Leinster down to 14 men should give them a bit of self belief when they go back up to 15.

LawrenceBryce that

Davies is a disgrace, the refereeing of the second half was absolute SteveWalsh.

Why the hell didn't Burleigh dive on that?

So naive there at the end. A drop goal was as good as a try. Just calm down and play phases.

Very disappointed we didn't get a bonus point there, would have been thoroughly deserved. Still, a lot of positives to take into the next game. That level of workrate has to be the standard in every game, and if we can do that we'll be able to build our attacking game. That game has the potential to be a real turning point for us.

We should have been winning that game not time just an lbp, du preez block happens all the time, the all blacks do it brilliantly, I don't see that getting called back if it was leinster.

Work rate and defensive effort very good but as I am sure Cockers will say that is the minimum to expect. Zebra at home next is a real test of the squads mentality after the treviso effort.

Been in the RDS several times and that was probably the best performance live or on TV I have seen.

Definite issues with the referee for sure ! Dougie's disallowed try well Cornell was nowhere near the ball, the defender would not have got anywhere near the ball. Please tell me what was the difference between Ritchie being told he could pull out and the late tackle on Kinghorn just before the scored the try.

Don't want to dwell on the negative but that is how I would like Edinburgh to approach playing, the result might not have gone our way but if the team continue like that then they surely will.

More of the same please.

Is it just us that always gets screwed over in Dublin, or do other teams get it too?

Deary me, still got steam coming out of my ears! I know everyone feels like they get some rough calls but it is getting boring week after week!
