Bbbaaaaannnnaaaahhhhaaannnnn.....

 

[Getofmeland]

Get In!!!

 

[Seaton]

Montpellier are being taken/ kept out of the equation as well, Glesga winning 20-10

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oh Gawd, Louw in the bin now

Would love Bath to win this, can't see it now though

 

[m0rris]

Yep, Louw off.... its all going the wrong way!

 

[m0rris]

Ah well... I thought we were going to lose this awfully so getting a LBP at home isn't too bad coming off losses to Sale and Warriors.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Are rugby players literally brainless? I'm sorry but Louw has just ****ed his team, theres literally no room for debate on that penalty it was just a ridiculous thing to try and do.

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Good game between 2 good sides. Bath played well but as morris said, it could have been much worse.

admire you for being so level-headed. Im not a bath fan and I'm really annoyed that bath could not close the game out.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Well, I'm very glad we played Bath last week with all their players missing :lol:

Hopefully this will finally stop people arseing around putting Banahan in the centres - he's a terrible centre, but a pretty good winger

 

[m0rris]

+1 on that, he was pretty handy on the wing, running good supporting lines, making alot of ground and breaking alot of tackles. Still nothing more than Saxons/England injury crisis material but good enough for Bath.

If Bath play like this consistently in the premiership we can start challenging the big boys again, but that is a big "if".

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

An ugly win for Leinster. I'd say they'll be ripped apart by the coaching staff in training. That said, the win puts them in a great position to qualify. I expect a bonus point win for Leinster next week and Montpellier to turn Glasgow over putting Leinster 8 points clear with two rounds remaining.

SOB may be a man beast but he's a f***wit. I can forgive Nacewa but SOB's mistake was just awful. Anyway a win is all they needed away hopefully next week we cna be much more clinical.

 

[Jockstap]

Time to upset some Bath fans, lets be honest, that scoreline flattered Bath, Leinster butchered three tries and should have run away with that. I worry for them next week. The fit is going to hit the shan.

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Arrogant game from O'Brien. He gets a 3/10 from me. Came very close to costing us the match

 

[lynam1104]

I'd give him a bit more then a 3/10, he actually made some very powerful runs and got us going forward. Him and McLaughlin don't work together very well start SOB at 6 and Jennings at 7 next week.

 

[King_D'Arcy]

I'd give him a bit more then a 3/10, he actually made some very powerful runs and got us going forward. Him and McLaughlin don't work together very well start SOB at 6 and Jennings at 7 next week.

He loses 3 points immediately for not passing the ball. He would've otherwise gotten a 6. He isolated himself too often and let Bath win turnovers. McLaughlin's defense was great.

 

[lynam1104]

McLaughlin had a very good game IMO, I just feel that SOB's ball carrying ability earns him a spot. With to 6's on the field we have a huge disadvantage.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ditch Heaslip, bring Jennings back in at 7?

Heaslip had another very quiet game, I thought

 

[lynam1104]

Solid but quiet he was in plenty of rucks but couldn't really affect any turn overs.
