Was Daly the number 8?

I thought he was excellent.

I agree didn't think kwagga showed really anything of note in the super6. However, none of the players who did play for the pro clubs (aside from Currie and Muncaster who played very rarely for Sonians and were always going to play this season for Edinburgh and) have been picked either pro team so I don't think Blair or Wilson took it terribly seriously.

As Scotland picked the three other locks not surprised we don't have Hodgson didn't return. Sykes and Young is an unreal pair of options though. Talking of the super6 it's a shame Ferrie isn't on the bench but Pierce Phillips is.

Surprised Savala starts this game away at the RDS and not the easier games where Jaco got the nod.

Bennett can’t be that far away from selection for Scotland. I would pick him ahead of Tupilutu for the bench. Spoilt for voice there . Johnson didn’t do much wrong last week but Redpath maybe offers more rounded threat.
Edinburgh will struggle to win I fear and bad weather may well compromise our attacking strengths.

I hate the advantage miss pass to the wingers. Just go through the hands the miss pass never works.

Stupid stupid stupid tap and goes don't work nearly as well with the rule change. Take a scrum or line out.

We have made a very good start, need to put points on the board thought

Leinster are just a machine.

Got to cut the errors, we are well in the match but have to be taking points when we can.

That's just bad luck but Boyle is way too high in contact again.

Such a harsh card, he wasn’t even making the tackle, the player got tackled into him

What on earth was that Pyrgos. Dreadful decision making so far.

Feel like we are playing off 9 rather than 10 when Kinghorn starts and it is not giving the backline the space, really struggling with leinsters line speed...however questionable the offside line is.
