Magners League Final

[munstermuffin]

Ospreys are turning up -
And just a point I made in Semi-Final about pressure well here my point Leinster were heavily fancied while Ospreys while not been wrote off weren't being touted much and well Leinster look a bit out of sorts.

But the Ospreys backline are really connectin well

Leinster have every chance of pulling it back, only 11 points in it, a try and a couple of penalties in 40minutes isn't unattainable, depends how motivating the half time bollocking is/was

 

[Conal]

come on lenister bring it back

 

[dullonien]

Should have been another try for the Ospreys too. Leinster look a little out of sorts. There's been numerous knock ons, although te Ospreys defense has been pressurizing them.

Biggar is also controlling the game well. He's had to deal with quite alot on the backfoot tbh, but he's put in some great kicks to the corners. I feel Mike Phillips has been getting caught a little too often with the ball, so that's something to work on. Phillips has also cleaned up some ball though, under huge pressure. Biggars quick throw-in for example, Phillips did very well to keep hold of the ball.

Agrred there - Half-time talk is vital for both teams

Agreeing with yourslef munstermuffin, nice.... lol

Edit: erm, Biggar not tackled before getting the ball there?

Further edit: bad penalty to give away there. Slow ball, no need to come through....

......Wow, D'Arcy having a mare. Totally unforced knock-on.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

D'arcys having a shocker tonight

Ha meant to agree with Olyy

But agreed D'Arcy looking poor but he is a hot and cold player

 

[dangandan]

i swear leinster have a knack for knock ons whenever i watch em play. really anoying.

 

[dullonien]

That wasn't a delibriate knock on from Alun-Wyn. He was looking for the intercept imo.

 

[dullonien]

Boring in again apparently! I swear Stan Wright is slipping his binding!

Too close now. 12-17.

Surprise surprise, the scrum is solid on Leinster ball!

Edit: hmm, looked like Bevington slipping his bind that time..... Another penalty! Arg. The Ospreys can't loose this, can they.......

agree with that, he had a fantastic run earlier, really cracking


Sqeaky bum time for the O's, a converted try will do it for Leinster, O's haven't done anything excitng the second half

 

[dangandan]

omfg what a f***in waste.

 

[dullonien]

Woooohooooo, Ospreys win!!!!

Great win there. Not many people giving the Ospreys much chance, but they deserved the victory today.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ospreys have done it!
12 - 17

 

[dangandan]

oh well.. leinster never really looked like scoring a try. no imagination. gona be hell down under.

 

[lynam1104]

leinster were better in the second half i think that Horgan kill a few chances i will tell you what i mean latter for now i have to sleep

 

[munstermuffin]

Lads a well deserved win and I not having a dig at Sexton but the pressure got to him in that last kick but he will be a better player for that as he is still learning his trade.

Byrne and Bowe were brilliant tonight and Mike Phillips is such a solid 9 that well it gave Ospreys that extra edge and well this may be that bit of a lift they need mentally to challenge in Europe

 

[dullonien]

Byrne was a little hit and miss. I thought it was the ospreys backrow that win this match. All three played their part, but Hollah and Collins were immense!

Let's see if the Ospreys can really kick on from this in the HC next season. They certainly shouldn't fear anyone, home or away...

 

[SelimNiai]

A thouroughly enjoyable game with two top teams. Ospreys deserved to win based on the 1st half effort and some solid, if a tad ill-disciplined, defense.
