The centres ain't as horrific as feared and it's good to see Welsh back in the squad. No sign of Jackson though, still injured I guess

 

[Feicarsinn]

<rte:body>Rob Kearney
Isa Nacewa
Eoin O'Malley
Gordon D'Arcy
Luke Fitzgerald
Jonathan Sexton
Eoin Reddan

Heinke van der Merwe
Sean Cronin
Mike Ross
Leo Cullen
Devin Toner
Kevin McLaughlin
Sean O'Brien
Jamie Heaslip
Replacements: Richardt Strauss, Cian Healy, Nathan White, Rhys Ruddock, Shane Jennings, Isaac Boss, Ian Madigan, Fionn Carr

Right. Well Strauss on the bench is the most interesting call. Reddan coming in is no major surprise and with McFadden out O'Malley was always likely to get the nod at 13. Here's hoping he has a good game - our best prospect at outside centre in my opinion. Still no sign of Stephen Skyes, starting to wonder if we haven't picked ourselves up another Owen Finnegan. Aside from that, meh. Good to have Devin back in I guess.

Too early to say in my opinion. Remember Richardt Strauss didn't really feature at all his first season before breaking out and becoming one of the top hookers in Europe last season. Mike Ross was a bit part player his first season before breaking out in year two and becoming a mainstay of both the Leinster and Irelan team. Sykes may just need time to get used to the systems in place. Sykes was a front of the line jumper for the Sharks as far as I recall. Perhaps his style of play is too similar to the captain Leo Cullen hence Devin Toner and Damien Browne have been preferred in the 5 shirt.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Very true. I guess I might be jumping the gun a bit. That said, there have been rumours floating about that his attitude is less than perfect. Perhaps he was of the opinion that'd he'd walk into the starting XV of some poxy northern club, no doubt that will have been beaten out of him.

 

[coonor]

Leinster could get munched in the second row against Kellock and Grey but other than that they have superiority in all other areas.

 

[Seaton]

Really good piece of play for the Leinster try there.

Yellow for Devine Toner for pulling Kellock down in the Line-out.

The rucks are an absolute shambles, players just diving in as though this is a FINA tournament. Hands in, no releasing in the tackle, reminiscent of the Lawrence's handling of the Aus-SA quarterfinal.

Leinster getting more players to the break-down and using advantage of the non reffing.

 

[Jockstap]

That yellow seems to have woken Leinster up, they're playing much better with a player down. Before they looked like they weren't bothered. Second try for O'Malley with Toner still off the pitch. Very poor from Glasgow.

 

[lucky number 7]

We are some men.

 

[Seaton]

Lol at the ref in the ruck.

Morrison lucky not have been carded there, why the *%@! Do you have to pick the player up like that?!?

 

[Jockstap]

We are some men.

I didn't realise you played for Leinster.

 

[lucky number 7]

I thought the tackle looked bad on first viewing but he seemed to be levelled out approaching the ground.

 

[monkeypigeon]

I think Leinster are going to win.

I think it will be 31-6 at half time and Leinster will have the bonus point in the bag and the cat in the sack by halftime.



What time does the match start at?

 

[Seaton]

I thought the tackle looked bad on first viewing but he seemed to be levelled out approaching the ground.

See what you mean, but with the yellow for Toner in mind I thought I Morrison may well hav got one.

 

[lucky number 7]

I didn't realise you played for Leinster.

Back in the day...

But I meant it in the sense that people from Leinster are superior

 

[Feicarsinn]

Only if you hail from the Pale.


Anyway, O'Malley is just as awesome as I though, happy days.

 

[Seaton]

Come on, Edinburgh did a 24 point comeback in 17 minutes, Glasgow have 5 minutes extra to make up for the extra point.


Leinster scrm been miles better this half with the subs

 

[Jockstap]

Only if you hail from the Pale.


Anyway, O'Malley is just as awesome as I though, happy days.

So you're saying people from the pale are superior because of all the English blood?

 

[Feicarsinn]

Hmmm, I'd attribute it to all that education. Given the choice between here and Longford. Well.

haha I thought I'd catch you out there.
