Agree, wee chips would help hold that defence though. Savala playing quite well I think.

We are a bit naive. Mcburney was cleared out around the head, if he is Irish he goes down holding his head to make sure it is looked at.

What happened with Lang landing on his neck? Went to get a beer and just saw one replay and a scrum.

Agree and the 9 we're playing off is not having a good game at all.

I don't like Bofelli on the wing - want him at 15. Pay Owsley or Henry on the wing.

Their 12 went off for a HIA I don't think he was down for the cameras.

And McBurney is Irish...

Own worst enemy, started well but did not convert chances, too many errors and on wrong side of ref.

Still in it though!

Ha ha, hadn’t thought of the irony of that post.

I wasn’t suggesting their 12 was. But in general we are naive.

We are literally in D4 ref is on the walkie-talkie he knows there is a sniper waiting for him if he makes "wrong" call :)

Joking aside we need to be more accurate and up the pace a bit, we are not getting out muscled .

I just can’t bring myself to watch games against Leinster in Dublin live, I get too irate.

The last time we played Leinster in Edinburgh was March 2019 when we cuffed them

How about we try something that isn't a pick and go.

Leinster not even close to inside I’m that series of rucks.

Multiple pens given away in their 22, barely a warning.

Henry Immelmann. Ffs. What a move only for that pudding to screw up a 2 on 1.

You did ask why we keep picking and going, that might be the answer!

Waiting for the pen to Leinster from the scrum now.

True but that was an excellent set move. It's been obvious for a while Immelmann isn't the required standard.

No chance that touches the line until he places it a second time.

Amazing pass from Hutchison. I didn't think he had that in his game - excellent.
