[big ginger 8]

Leinster's backline by the end will be interesting. Mostly a positive team but even with Tracey playing well I'm ****** Sheehan hasn't gotten another start.

Ulster really flogging Moore and Coetzee. Good to see O'Toole is back. Seems really stupid they haven't gotten McCann any time over this period.

Leinster is an amazing team, rolling along to yet another PRO14 championship.

Big Munster pack.

 

[big ginger 8]

Harry should tell Ross you're allowed run forward and pass at the same time.

 

[Groundhog]

I think this could get ugly based on how Leinster are cutting Dragons apart. Kelleher probably should have backed himself to the corner there but lovely play from the Leinster backs.

 

[big ginger 8]

Pretty scrappy so far, if we can hold the ball the final score could be very ugly.

Edit: Class by JOB showed better pace than I thought he had but definitely not a burner.

 

[Groundhog]

How did O'Brien knick that back. Everything he touches turning to gold right now.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Genuinely think Leavy is back

 

[big ginger 8]

The foot race we all expected: Ethan Lewis vs James Tracy.

Cardiff's D very physical.

 

[Groundhog]

Game a lot tighter and punchier now. Cardiff responded well and both teams playing good stuff. Both teams putting in huge hits.

I watched this Round 7 match on ESPN+ and it was great.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

I saw bits of Ospreys-Benetton and Ulster-Scarlets. Both were good matches and there were definitely this time positives for the two Welsh teams in question - Ospreys came back to win at the death despite a red card, while Scarlets actually scored some good tries and only lost by two points.

That's the only PRO14 match that wasn't streamed Sunday on ESPN+. And that's odd because they normally stream all of them. Your Leinster men just keep cruising along...
