Castres v Leinster

[An Tarbh]

More of the same from Leinster, we're leaving points on the pitch, that's 8 relatively easy points we should have had.

 

[An Tarbh]

That's great defence from Leinster, Castres really should have been in for a try there, but great clearance kick and quality chasing down from Elsom.

 

[An Tarbh]

Dr Phil doing Leinster no favours with that kick.

 

[An Tarbh]

desperate decision from Pearson there, not sure what he gave that for, even Contepomi can't miss this one and he doesn't.

15-9 and Castres down to 14 bizarrely.

 

[An Tarbh]

How good a kick and take was that from Kearney, class act.

 

[cyRil]

He's no Lee Byrne though.

yeah he's better

 

[An Tarbh]

we're going to be down to 14 ourselves if we continue at this rate.

Only 15-12 now.

 

[An Tarbh]

15-15 now.

Well Leinster if you don't want it all to come down to the Wasps match now's the time to make it count.

 

[An Tarbh]

Leinster are really gonna regret missing those easy kicks, 11 easy points and now Castres lead by 3

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

18 - 15 Don't know what Alain gave his team for drink at half-time, miracle of south western wine ? Didn't see last week end match, but I suppose Leinster wasn't loosing so mutch balls and offering so many turnovers...

 

[An Tarbh]

we've been woeful but Castres have upped their game big time in this second half, that O'Driscoll kick embodies everything about Leinster's performance.

 

[An Tarbh]

Woeful from Leinster and 5 points for Wasps on Sunday and we only have a 2 point lead but if we perform like that at Twickenham we won't be qualifying.

 

[An Tarbh]

Time and time again even since Cheika has been at Leinster we've had these types of defeats and yet he never seems to have addressed this serious problem and yet again we go to Castres who were more concerned about avoiding injuries than playing this match.

And pressure back on for Wasps match, which they'll probably win. But we'll of course see a Leinster loss to Edinburgh. At least Connact beat Rovigo.

5 points in your nightmares!

Strange performance from the Leinster backrow - Castres were good on the ground, but Heaslip/Elsom/Jennings looked like amateurs with ball in hand.

Leinster will muddle through, but they still don't got it.

Nah we're done for, don't think 21 points will be enough to get us through and continue playing as we have done and we'll be lucky to even get 20 at this rate which certainly won't be enough.

 

[Prestwick]

Castres are currently 13th in the Top 14. On their forum currently, they'd be hard pressed to beat even an Italian team.

What was I talking about when I warned against under-estimating so called "weak" opposition?

Woeful and unless Leinster really hammer home their potential into points in their next HEC matches, their credentials have taken a serious knock tonight.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Wow, looks like by witnessing a dire match, I missed an even direr match...
Leinster couldn't have screwed up any harder....
