RaboDirect Pro12: Ospreys - Leinster (02-09-2011, 19:05 GMT)

[Logorrhea]

I know they miss some players with the World Cup starting and all, but jeez... Don't they have any depth?

Missing in or around 18 players now me think but the team we put out looked pretty solid on paper (with absolutely nothing left on the bench). Played like they were seriously undercooked. About a gizzillion turnovers conceeded, we handed the hairsprays the breakdown, never really gave ourselves a chance.

Was actually a good team we put out, they were just spanked on the day, and deservedly so.

Leinster lost most of their opening games last season too.

They want to play a fast brand of rugby and that takes time to get going, especially with team of new players. They lost most of their opening games as well last season and Joe Schmidt was coming under pressure! Going away to the Ospreys is always tough too. They rarely lose at home.
