Scarlets v Leinster

[An Tarbh]

good man Dempsey, great work for the chargedown and Jowitt supporting like a good backrow should. Priestland did seem to take an age with the kick in fairness

 

[An Tarbh]

right Leinster let's keep this going please, we've already had Bath letting a big lead slip today.

 

[An Tarbh]

not sure about that call, think the ball may well have been out, but Priestland doesn't miss his second chance.

20-3 now.

 

[feicarsinn]

well this is getting embarassing quickly

wait, priestland nails a penalty 3-20 now. gotta say theres no one at the game, quite poor

well normally you'd think it's down to the 6N but the crowds seem to have been poor for the majority of games at Parc y Scarlets.

 

[An Tarbh]

great play from Roberts but where was the Leinster defence there.

 

[feicarsinn]

slopy leinster defence roberts in under the posts , 8-20 convertion to come

priestland nails it 10-20 game on again

 

[An Tarbh]

Wright will be disappointed with that missed tackle.

Sloppy match with akot of scoring. I like it. Seems to be alot of space out wide for Leinster and they can't get it out. Ref seems wistlehappy. Good warm up for the Munstermatch. That on the tele?

 

[An Tarbh]

Scarlets go off their feet and Contepomi makes no mistake with the kick,

23-10 to Leinster.

 

[feicarsinn]

it looks to me like a game where scores are coming less from inventiveness and attacking flair and more from defensive ineptitude. 10-23 now agh another knock on. both teams struggling to string the phases together

 

[An Tarbh]

well the first try was out of the top drawer but yeah other than that it's been pretty scrappy.

 

[An Tarbh]

Easterby doesn't seem to want to let something go, still looking for a scrap.

 

[An Tarbh]

Jackman on for the second half.

 

[An Tarbh]

that seems harsh on McFadden, didn't seem to take out Easterby but the ref very quick to blow, could also be a case of rose tinted glasses from me but doesn't matter as Priestland misses the kick.

 

[An Tarbh]

Leinster pinged at the lineout, giving Priestland a quick chance to make amends, but he's unable to do so, that's 6 points the Scarlets really should have.

 

[An Tarbh]

Leinster can't get their hand on the ball, giving away too many penalties, Priestland clearly rattled there as he goes for the corner from an easily gettable position.

 

[An Tarbh]

well it was coming, incessant pressure from the Scarlets and Manu eventually gets in for the try which Priestland converts.

23-17 to Leinster

 

[An Tarbh]

well we've been under pressure since the second half began but great play from Horgan and Sexton to put away Jennings in the corner. Contepomi misses the kick but that's a score they certainly needed.

28-17

Aint to much post count boosting going on here

The Turks have shown some class in this game!
