Barnes and Shaggy discussing the tunes.

What was the choon?

I liked it.

Very stodgy so far.

What a kick from Murray.

Newby1 · Post by **Newby1** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 5:51 pm

Score?

DOB · Post by **DOB** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 5:52 pm

No need for Kirchner to grubber that.

Botched another lineout.

Cronin having a mare. Can see sometimes why Strauss gets the nod.

Tunes the best bit so far. And they only lasted 30 seconds

MorseCode · Post by **MorseCode** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 5:54 pm

Really impressed with Holland so far, intelligent kicks whenever he's done em, good passing.

Scrum even enough so far

Decent defence or crap attack? Or general shiteness?

There's been a couple where the whole organisation of the lineout's been shite, though. For all we know, Cronin's putting the ball exactly where it's supposed to be (unlikely tbf) and his target isn't in place.

Munster-fogs · Post by **Munster-fogs** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 5:56 pm

Zebo simply cannot catch a ball.

Two out of three.

Cronin really should just slim down a touch and move to the centre. He just can't throw or hook.

And he has the tallest man in rugby to bloody aim at as well.

I'm wondering now if he isn't at least partially to blame.

Leinster would have 7pts had that gone to hand, you feel.

Zebo and Conway are both paid to play fullback.

Where are you going to on your summer holidays Simon?

Triggs is an absolute ruck inspector.

lemonhead · Post by **lemonhead** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 6:03 pm

Wherever he's going, they're done with the inflight meal and on to the aperitifs

He's absolutely part of the problem, but it doesn't make a hooker's job easier when the other 7 lads don't look like they know theirs.

Simple ball to Toner works. And until Munster start beating Toner to that simple ball, that's what Leinster should be throwing to.

Awful fare, this.

Irish rugby has become so brutal lately - just bosh bosh bosh, collision collision. Yawnfest.

James Tracey has been the best hooker for Leinster this season.

Some stale rugby on display so far...

Not good for a guy who obviously fancies himself as a 15.

he must be really f**ked if he's having the aperitifs after the meal

A point every 5 minutes not bad.

The tactics of the national set up filtering down.

The Sky 'as it stands' table thing after 7mins of play worked better with the HEC.

Duff - fraid I'm already there myself

And this game is not helping.

I fear as much.

The Scarlets Blues was a much better game.

And as for Super Rugby...

Keet made no effort to hold that.

I'm not sure anybody had this in mind when we were told Nucifora was going to help implement a national/provincial style of play

That was a stonecold penalty tbf

Clear penalty.

Has Kirchner done anything right yet, absolutely awful stuff.

Flametop · Post by **Flametop** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 6:11 pm

Ref, when we are breaking speed limits going forward in the scrum, why do we need to "use it"?

Munster-fogs · Post by **Munster-fogs** » Sat Apr 02, 2016 6:12 pm

Harsh yellow.

Lam needs to coach all the provinces.
