TJ said he was onside. Didn't look it.

Lowe that won’t work against a top team, silly

Salanya · Post by **Salanya** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:18 pm

Seriously, everything is reffed really tightly, but the offside rule is just ignored altogether?

The sound BT are using is all over the shop

Flametop · Post by **Flametop** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:19 pm

Clearly offside.

He’s been very consistent so far, same for both teams

McGrath has been awful so far

Strange advantage over for a penalty there. Leinster would have been happy with 3 there

Duff Paddy · Post by **Duff Paddy** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:20 pm

We’re getting outplayed here. Our backs can’t deal with the high ball and the pressure defence

He absolutely has been.

Ahead of the kicker also.

jezzer · Post by **jezzer** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:22 pm

Luke's passing has been poor so far. He needs to calm down

I didn't say he wasn't consistent for both teams. I said it was reffed very tightly (on all the rules for both teams) but then the offside rule was just ignored.

Stiff breeze put the ball up in the air all day

MunsterMan!!!!! · Post by **MunsterMan!!!!!** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:22 pm

McGrath wasn't practicing his left hand pass much during lockdown that's for sure.

Leinsterbloke · Post by **Leinsterbloke** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:23 pm

It's like a different sport from the pro 14

Keenan playing a blinder.

Floppykid · Post by **Floppykid** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:24 pm

McGrath's passing has been slow and loopy.

Duff Paddy · Post by **Duff Paddy** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:24 pm

The choke tackle technique is giving up an extra 5 yards to them every time - it’s horrible

Flametop · Post by **Flametop** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:24 pm

Get mcGrath a taxi.
Every pass above head height.

MunsterMan!!!!! · Post by **MunsterMan!!!!!** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:24 pm

Good defensive set there by leinster

jezzer · Post by **jezzer** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:25 pm

Jaysis McGrath...

Yep, doing really well so far

Connors has been excellent.

Him too.

nardol · Post by **nardol** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:28 pm

Only one side reffed at breakdown.

Sarries got a penalty in front of posts for the phase just there before the knock on

Ripped on the way down or did his support knock it out? Seemed to have gathered it cleanly.

Duff Paddy · Post by **Duff Paddy** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:29 pm

Scrum minced

Looked knocked on by support.

Leinsterbloke · Post by **Leinsterbloke** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:29 pm

Terrible game so far. Is the wind that strong?

Duff Paddy · Post by **Duff Paddy** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:29 pm

Ah Healy

CM11 · Post by **CM11** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:29 pm

I'm having flashbacks to that Welsh game where they went 12 up through penalties without having to do a lot.

Sarries are playing us off the pitch

This game is gone

Just what you need after conceding a scrum penalty on halfway.

Duff Paddy · Post by **Duff Paddy** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:30 pm

Who had money on Sarries

Salanya · Post by **Salanya** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 3:30 pm

Connors stopped supporting Healy in that scrum.
