Didn't look all that hot against Cheetahs last week. Still that maddening habit of doing the hard work building a big score then surrendering every point come 2nd half.

Re: Leinster not quite as sharp under Jacques Nienaber - BOD

what was the magic number of games Nienaber said was needed to get the 2019 world cup winning safa team into its stride ? said it would be the same for Leinster - 14 i think ? It was. Think LaR is #13. Hopefully they have that secret sauce on the SA tour, could use a favour when they play Stormers.

Just caught up. Excellent game. But Munster will almost definitely lose. They can't keep this up and Saints are finding it far easier to score.

Leinster's lineout was a shambles and Porter looked in trouble in the scrum a number of times. I think we look like a relatively poorly coached team these days. Not sure how much Neinebar has to do with it but we are kicking away a lot of ball and competing poorly in the air to retrieve it. Our def...

Gutted for Manie, horrible angle for the winning/losing of the game and one he'll be judged on. The elite kickers nail those but who'd want to be in his shoes.
