I didn't put Penny in that list as I'm not sure where he fits in. I don't think he'd start for any other province but he'd definitely improve their squad. Will he get past Connors, who knows? I like him a lot as a player but I think he's like Turner, great squad player but not threatening any first...

Press have already started gurning and creaming about Rog since late Sunday.

Molecast might be the only pod that's bearable this week.

Never been the type to have an encyclopedic knowledge of refs, mostly just lump them into good/bad in my mind.

Have no real idea about Dickson.
He's the one who hates Ireland.

Ah well.

Floppykid

I think it's worth putting Doris at 6 to get Conan into the team as much as anything.
Dropping in Connors completely cold could backfire, especially in a rejigged backrow, still might be worth the risk.

Just saw the tackling for that last NH try.

There's an element of truth there. Leo needs to win something.

Floppykid

8 needs to be putting in DOC unseen work style performances.

Conan is better than Doris at the moment.
Conan came on against a beaten team and he played well to be fair but it’s not comparing like for like

He's been having bigger impacts for a while now.

Floppykid

A lot of work ons!

Floppykid

LaR might well spank Leinster.

Floppykid

Conan needs to do more unseen work imo.

Probably being outscored and outplayed.

Harry challenges the line.

URC
Leo will probably keep picking him though.
Problem is Harry is too inconsistent

Maybe, he's been pretty good on this last run. (he'll do some fudge up now)

Group level.

Floppykid

Reliable Ross.

Floppykid

JGP is excellent. just tuned in for the last 5 mins, how's it been?

Floppykid

Itoje is up for it anyway.

Floppykid

Tomatohead goes through.

Floppykid

Stormers using a lot of their time up here.

Yep

Seems like Willemse has been around forever.

It's a common complaint for all refs and SHs. Does my head in. Why say use it at all?

Yeah, it's totally meaningless at this point

Floppykid

It's a horribly brutal game.

Floppykid

Stormers loosehead looks like he could captain the enterprise.

Floppykid

Effective.

Actually Aldritt has had a few decent carries scattered through the game.

Floppykid

Unbelievably dumb pen by Botia Was a good initial tackle too. He's the only player for LAR I've really noticed do much good tbh. Antonio is only noticeable for flopping about everywhere. He’s been good. Probably the best jackle in world rugby. Fijian backrowers are some of my favourites.

Floppykid

Can they hold on into the wind? The likely prize of Leinster away awaits! Haven't watch much. Fourie is a big loss. Let's see if the Stormers can fight this out.

Floppykid

LAR look quite blunt.

Snyman a complete lemon.

Floppykid

Doris was just as good as Earl was. Just did the magic unseen stuff that made all the difference.

Floppykid

I haven't a glimmer how he will go. But maybe you do. What do you know that he is not Captain material? I have comments/anecdotes on other Leinster players but not on him. Do you know anything you can share? There's been quite a few big games where he's gone missing/quiet. Serious polite robot vibe...

1st time in a Euro game. Not convinced by him as a captain. I haven't a glimmer how he will go. But maybe you do. What do you know that he is not Captain material?

I’m sure he’s devastated

I doubt he's read it.
