[2018/19 Heineken Cup] Round : Pool (12&13/10/2018)

It's gramd allowing Bath fans have flags in but if they've f all to cheer about what use are they.

Leinster will have 1 finger tickling there own A patch and still stroll past Bath. Despite Leinster missing a few.
 
We here at Bath demand a rematch due to Leinster fans bringing in Flags that fail the Health and Safety specs - Bruce Craig after the game.

Where?

If anything Leinster should be happy Bath scored otherwise furlong should be in the bin for giving away two penalties in one ruck on the tryline

bath's scrumhalf was offside at the scrum and kept preventing leinster's SH from getting the ballout

after one of the tackles a bath player crawled a couple meters with the ball... usually immaterial but leinster had players over the ball

Leinsters scrumhalf was in front of his flanker, the Bath SH is not obliged to stand behind him. He was intentionally standing away to prevent the Bath 9 reaching it and the Bath 9 simply went around him.

As for crawling after the tackle, Ireland and the Irish clubs are the ones that do that more than anyone else (that and the constant rolling on the floor) as a way to prevent turnovers.

What a difference having fast service from a 9 does. Disappointed how little support there was for Thomas' break there

Neither of which are penalties,
You're not obligated to be behind the opposition 9 (otherwise they'd just walk towards the opposition and win a pen)
And Dunn wasn't tackled he so he's allowed to try and get back to his feet/use momentum to scrabble forward
 
The number of times Leinster came in from the side in that series of plays...
 
We're mostly playing well after a poor start but Bath are really putting it up to us. Furlong, Sexton and Lowe aren't at their best.

Leavy at 8 hasn't really worked.
 
Leinster will still walk this. For all Baths huff they are not going to change. Leinster can and will up the gears.
